While Accountable is primarily designed for self-employed individuals using simplified accounting, it also covers several key tasks for company directors working through a legal entity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">\u200b<\/p>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">Please note that this article provides general guidance only.
