I'm looking to change accountant as I'm not 100% convinced I'm getting the best advise (actually I'm not getting any advice...) with regards the best way I should be running my Ltd company.
I'm an IT Contractor operating through a Ltd company and currently use FreeAgent to log invoices, bank statements etc.
What I'm looking for is an accountant who can advise on what I should be claiming/not claiming through the business, how best to manage the money in the business, how much I should be putting aside, what VAT scheme I should be choosing etc etc. someone who can be pro-active and not just press a couple of buttons at the end of each quarter telling me how much VAT I need to pay.
Ideally someone in the Portsmouth area although not massively important they're local.
Any suggestions...?

I use Alan at Quick Accountancy also in Waterlooville. All of us ex Navy types that draw a service pension classed as an income and now have another income through our own Ltd companies use him... I wouldn't be driving the kind of cars that I do or popping over to New York for my birthday is it wasn't for his 'creativeness'....
