Can any one offer me some advice on how you manage your relationship when you subcontract from an Accountant? Do you agree a fix fee per job once you've been handed a file and agreed what needs to be done? Or. Do you record your time spent and recharge the accountant at a pre-agreed rate? If so, how do you...
