Answer 1 :
A good accountant can save you more than their fees by making sure you claim all the allowances and tax breaks you are entitled to: capital depreciation (use of vehicles for example), indexing, losses,VAT etc.The taxman isn't obliged to tell you! A spreadsheet doesn't sound enough.You'd also need receipts, as you can offset any expenses against your tax bill.
Answer 2 :
Yeah most Schedule C taxpayers will need an accountant.
Answer 3 :
yes
Answer 4 :
I would say yes, more like it the accountant will do a better job and keep all your accounts and paper work up-to-date, also he can provide you with advice if needed.
Answer 5 :
HMRC has all the answers and you can do your tax yourself, go to the small business section it greatly depends if you are a ltd business or partnership

I want to become an accountant...but I have a science degree?

I want to become an accountant...but I have a science degree?

Answer 1 :
No. Not sure about Britian, but in the States, a science degree usually entails a lot of math, so you probably have a good start. The best thing to do is to call the local university and ask to speak to a math department advisor. He/she will be able to tell you everyting you need to make the switch. .
Answer 2 :
I had just broken a relationship and had moved alone into a tiny apartment. He came to stay with me for a week and as it went on I could feel the attraction growing and tried to fight it. However, I didn't know he had already decided he wanted a sexual relationship with me before ever meeting me, from looking at old photos of a younger me. He kept pushing for physical contact and finally I gave in. Afterwards he confessed his initial aim to seduce me, and I was angry and felt manipulated. I question if it was true romance on his part or just his scheming personality. I wonder if anyone else has ever felt that way PRIOR to meeting face to face from only a photograph? I accused him of manipulation (in that he was looking for a place to stay and someone to live off of) but he denied it and wept whenever I brought it up. Anyway, he asked to stay and I said yes. At that point, I felt strong sexual feelings - I wanted it to be permanent, I thought of going away to another place where nobody knew us as "mother/son" and getting married, etc. When I spoke of this to my son, he laughed at me. He wanted no such permanence and found the notion kind of icky. He wanted the sneaking/lying/secrecy because he wanted us to be able to see other people, and if he got married, ever, it would be to someone in his own age range. He was amused by the height of my affection, but easily put his own boundaries on it and limited it to remaining dark and secret. Finally, after many months, my self-loathing began to grow and my enjoyment began to diminish, until finally I told him the sexual component of our relationship was over. I felt the sex gave him an unfair advantage over me, clouding my judgment and causing me to care more about him than he did me. He had no problem moving on to other relationships, and eventually, so did I. We fought over something petty and he moved out in a huff; we tried to remain friends but that consisted of me begging for his attention and him doling it out sparingly. We had a final big argument and he declared he would never speak to me again. He is all I think about.

which one is a better job chartered accountant or doctor? how much do they get paid and how long do you study?

which one is a better job chartered accountant or doctor? how much do they get paid and how long do you study?

Studying Abroad - 2 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Which one is better depends on your own character, intellect and ability. Both are well paid but only if you first prove your capabilities in the job. Neither can be entered into without qualifications, commitment, perseverence and a certain amount of luck, as well as (perhaps more importantly) the right contacts in whichever field you select.
Answer 2 :
It all depends on how much money you want to make with your job, if you want to be secure financially in your life, and how long you want to stay in University. An accountant, all you really need is a bachelors degree (for good jobs), or a Master's degree (for even better jobs). However, some companies/businesses may only require an Associates. As for a doctor, it can take up to 8 to 10 years for you to earn your Medical degree. Accountants usually make around $60,000; where as a Doctor can make up to $200,000+. Hope I helped!
