We are going off-topic here, but...
Ask your accountant:-

1) What her professional indemnity insurance premium is
2) What the direct costs of her regulatory body are
3) What the INDIRECT costs of her regulatory body are, including rules setting out how the matter needs to be handled and recorded, rules setting out information to be given at the outset and throughout and so on.
4) How much she pays to have her accounts audited each year
5) How much she contributes to the Accountants Ombudsman
6) How much compensation she will have to pay if she makes a minor mistake such as sending in a form that was accurately completed but was sent in seven days rather than seven 'clear' days before some time.
7) What steps she has to take to reconcile her duty to her clients to do what the client wants with her duty to third parties (e.g. the Court, the Adminstration of Justice).
8) How many staff she needs to employ, to handle the calls of clients who demand to have their call answered and dealt with IMMEDIATELY and have the right to compensation from an Ombudsman if they do not.
9) How often the Accounting principles change and therefore how frequently she needs to spend time appraising herself of the changing so that she can give appropriate advice.
10) To what extent she may be found liable for not only her own mistakes, but the mistakes of others, by a judiciary of ex-barristers who see her insurance policy as a soft-target.
