Comment on How to run a small consultancy / freelancing business

Comments

Great writeup. I love that you are evolving it as the HN discussion grows.

My biggest stress point has always been dealing with accounting and taxes. I realize that hiring a bookkeeper would be ideal, but as my revenue stream has had some wild fluctuations over the years I have always been a little hesitant to make the commitment. I am curious what you or the other consultants here have found to be a fair price for bookkeeping service.

I pay about 500 euros annually for this, that includes my personal tax filings.

The office that does this for me has in the past also provided payroll services (when I had employees), and gives me tax advice. It's run by an elderly gentleman who knows his stuff very well and he's saved lots of money over the years.
