Can an Accountant Really Save You Money on Your Self Assessment Tax Return? 

Short answer: Yes—absolutely. 

A lot of people see hiring an accountant as just another expense. But when it comes to your Self Assessment tax return, working with a professional can actually save you money—and a whole lot of time and stress.
