One important thing to note is that your accountant gets a kickback from setting up a bank account. You should instead aim to search for the best bank account you can find with the best deal and the faster payments service; my bank account with Cater Allen still does not support this for example.
I'd also highly highly recommend freeagent which is so good it makes you wonder what your accountant does. It has been right where my accountant has often been wrong!! Here's a referral link:

- tome 11y agoFreeagent looks interesting. What's their customer support like? My accountant is about 90 GBP per month but I get extremely prompt responses from them on technical issues so I'm inclined to think they're worth it.
- peteretep 11y agoMy accountant is the same, and gives me a discounted version of FreeAgent. These days I have considerably more complicated needs than I used to doing simply contracting, but I'd probably still use FA + the accountant anyway. I pair it with ReceiptBank, with which there is an acceptable (but not great) integration.
- andy_ppp 11y agoFreeagent have always responded pretty immediately but it's best to get an accountant [1] that supports Freeagent and you are then effectively paying for support. They use Get Satisfaction which is community and vendor run support [2]. It makes the accountants life a lot easier too (they get a slightly restricted login).
