    Best way to find a new accountant?

    check their qualification by calling up the body concerned. Don't bother with CIMA as they don't even disclose what members are registered. ICAEW normally requires training in public practice.. ACCA normally easier to sign off so less formal training. ICAEW fees are typically higher.

    Standardisation invoices XML

    Thank you for that, I will have a look, much appreciated. Its a joke right, you'd think that you standardise inputs first before designing a digital tax system, but not with these people.. Could you possibly design a system first without looking at data quality and input, only the UK tax...

    Offered a domain

    a .com, co or .xxx is not going to make a difference generally speaking. Keeping costs down in the first year is important. Its fine to spend £2k if your have a start up budget of £100k. Its not ok to blow 2k if your start up budget is 5k !. A .com if available at the right price is...

    Offered a domain
