Do any of you out there take on work from accountants? Can you give me any advice. Eg Terms, MLR. If the accountants are not known eg other side of the country, how do you check them out etc etc. Do you have a template to fill in/letter of engagement for accountants. Sorry so many questions.

Are the free business card offers you see on the internet any good? I'm tempted by one cheap offer, you get 250 cards for £2.50. Money is tight so any cash I can save at the moment is a bonus.
