Finding a new accountant? Self assessment costs

[CuriousRunner]

Generally I'm happy to pay for someone's time/skills to make my life easier when I choose. (I know I could do this myself.)But not sure if someone here is taking the mickey.

Husbands SA includes:
Income (salary and dividends)from Ltd (paid for those services separately)
Private pension (I provided the neat investment certificate)
£390 accountants invoice

My SA:
PAYE details (I provided p60)
PDFs of extra employment expenses
WFH allowance
Partnership income (again, partnership accounts dealt and paid for separately)
Details of child allowance included
Charity donations included (from a pdf export I provided)
My invoice £650.

Seems fair or high to you guys?

Then if high how does one find another accountant? Local or wider location based?

(I am IT savvy. I provide all necessary info into Dropbox)

Are they + VAT or inclusive of VAT?
Either way, seems on the high side to me.
Are the same Accountants also engaged for the Ltd company and Pship?

Those figures are inclusive of VAT.

Yep, the incumbent accountant deals with 1x Ltd, 1 x partnership and 6 x associated SA. And I think that's why I feel shafted. We are paying for their services elsewhere which they "lift and shift" into the SA wizard.

But I'm prepared to be told I'm being mean!!

As it stands I'm feeling like shifting the partnership and DH+my SA elsewhere. (Leave the Ltd for now. And the other 4x SA can paddle their own canoe).

But how does one find a good accountant. Feel like current guys are "big fish in a small local pond". I'm aware that I don't need to stay with the local choices. But that rather opens the choice to a huge list.

Doesn't seem unreasonable to me OP

Depends what their charge or rates are. Even a simple SA tax return can take a few hours if the time includes all emails, advising on payments and submitting then checking the client's SA record. I suspect in your case some time that is common to both of you may have landed on your WIP. Do you at least set some of the costs off against your tax?
