You only need an accountant to claw back money from the Inland Revenue.
The Long Partnership were recommended by my previous accountant before he retired.
Since then I've done the Tax Return myself.

So why don't you do it yourself ?
There are three main transactions - Purchases, Sales and Nominal (anything which is not Purchases or Sales). You could use a spreadsheet to track these, and there will be spreadsheet templates available for simple accounting.

However I would recommend Quick Books which is easy to set up and run.
It produces an "Accountants Copy" which you can use to complete your Tax Return.
Also get TaxCalc to assist you with the annual return. Best £20 I ever spent.
