    I'm looking for an accountant to help me though my tax returns as I'm completely lost, and all the help sheets in the world aren't making a blind bit of a difference.

    I'm a sole trader, have good records of my very, very few transactions, etc, so it shouldn't take too long, but I do need someone soon (clearly!)

    I'm in Fingal, but can travel, so any recommendation would be awesome.

    Just reading through this thread and I'm sort of in the same position myself. I too have a small sole trader business. I am able to handle the tax returns myself but just wondering who much it will cost for the year end accounts to be made up!?? I keep pretty good records of everything and have them all itemised in excel spreadsheets. Just wondering if any1 has a rough answer???

    I will be setting up as a sole trader soon. I have been quoted circa €500 to use accountant services and I will be having very little income so can't really spend so much on this. I would like to do my own accounts, tax return and so, but I don't know how to. Could you give me some guidance? I don't really think I need an accountant as my entrees will be very basic. Thank you.

    Can I ask what business you're in?
