Answer 1 :
There are several paths to become a qualified accountant and there are several disciplines and institutes from which you may get certifications. All depend on what you want to achieve. If you want to develop your own practise or join a firm which does book keeping and final accounts, You have to get ACAEW, ACCA or MAAT. If you like to work in industry ACMA or ACCA would be helpful. But if you aim public sector CIPFA is best. But those are not restrictive. If you have a full time job, it would be necessary to do a evening or week end course. If you are unemployed you may register for full time course. As it appears that you have not your GESE AL or degree it is advisable to register with AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) which is treated as supporting qualification for other reputed qualifications. But there are accountants who practise only with MAAT. Please see the link below which explains evey thing needed. https://www.aat.org.uk/content/item152867/

Answer 1 :
keep all receipts for everything to do with your business and hand them in to your accountant quarterly that's 4 times a year and pay the taxes you owe and bob is your fathers brother and keep the tax receipts in a box file safe for inspection
Answer 2 :
You can hand them in once a year or less. To keep your expenses down regarding paying your accountant, hand em over once a yr. If you do your job during the year and keep all receipts and separate them into large envelopes clearly marked then it makes their job, and time, substantially less. If you need or want to keep exact and up-to-date records throughout the year, hire a bookkeeper and drop your stuff there every month. Accountants are expensive and many small businessess use a bookkeeper throughout the year and the accountant at the end of the fiscal year.

Answer 1 :
Is it a limited company? EDIT: For a sole trader, you wouldnt have to have an accountant who was qualified to do audits, so it would be cheaper. The cost really depends on where you are (London is going to be more expensive than the wilds of Exmoor) and how good your records are. The better your book keeping, the less work the accountant has to do. It also depends on your t/o which looks as if it will be quite high if you are VAT registered. I think you need to go and speak to 2-3 accountants in your area - most will be happy to give you half an hour free, and find out what they would charge and also whether they are someone you could work with.

Keep dreaming on the four days a week, but if you are desperate, go to agencies such as RK Accounts or Hayes in Liverpool, they are pretty good at getting you placed.
