First-time sole-trader looking for an accountant.

    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?
