Recruitment company with flat rate VAT

I am running a Recruitment Company from home. I am supplying Locums to the Blue Chip companies e.g. Boots, Lloyds Pharmacies etc.

I do not pay the Locums a salary, they are self employed and invoice the Boots and Lloyds. I invoice the Clients (Boots) a finders fee + VAT. I am Flat Rate registered with the VAT.

I am looking for software that is easy to use, enables me to go back 18 months to enter the details. and be able to supply my accountant End of Year Accounts, submit my VAT Return.

What would you recommend and what is the price?

It can also produce the Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet Reports you will need for your end of year return. Solar Accounts is priced at
