interpreting accounts

[logoman]

I received my financial statement for the year end - my yearly accounts from the accountant.
How should I approach these figures? I'd like to gain some perspective on the performance of my accountant, to justify their fees to myself.

I certainly wouldn't want to do the accounts myself.
but with the current accountants, with whom I've been with for a decade, I get the feeling that it's a bit like insurance, I could be paying the same somewhere else and getting better service, or getting the same service for less, but I'm not able to make a comparison.

They feel a bit old school, and I'm tempted by some of the more 'dynamic' businesses like Danbro.

Cheers Steve, I'll take you up on that offer, will email you Monday.
