How many of you with the visa have gotten an accountant?

Post by niomi » Wed Apr 16, 2014 4:32 pm

I'm on this visa and have 2 years left to make the investment and hire two people. How many of you have gotten a proper accountant to help with payroll as you make the hires, and make sure you have been spending the investment money properly? I am in the midst of deciding whether I should get someone on monthly so that they can keep all the appropriate employment papers for each hire, or if I should try to do it myself...

ALSO, can I hire someone who is on a visa & permitted to work but NOT yet indefinite leave to remain?

Definitely you need a charted accountant to get sorted your documents.You can make a deal with your accountant on year basis.
But i recommend you make deal with your accountant for whole case.And try to find this kind of accountant who knows about immigration matters as well.Then he will b able to issue all documents in the correct format as HO required.
I have done the same thing.And i am totally relax now. :D :D

Thank you!! Can I ask how much you paid for that? I'm at a loss as it seems like all accountants in London are extremely expensive!

Also one more question!

can I use a bookkeeper for 2 years but get a certified accountant to check/draft everything before my extension?

yes you can. But i think its better to have chartered accountant now as he will the one who will issue letters. For example, if bookkeeper says you can do something but after 2 years chartered accountant might disagree with this so i think its better to have it now.

Hi Niomi,

Earlier we had telephonic discussion on phone. I am trying to reach you to the same number to further discuss on tier 1 entrepreneur extension. But it says , number is not available. Could you please PM me your new contact number so that we can have call to discuss.

Thanks for your help in advance.
