I've used hosted desktop uk (find at www.hduk.co.uk) for several years and they have been great. They have a lot of accountants and lawyers as customers and should be happy to give you the details of 3 accountancy firm users to discuss it with. We have 3 qualified experienced accountants as users and have been working from our homes for nearly 3 years now.
I would argue that you can be a "post holder" director who is not a hired hand (an employee). Another example of this, believe it or not, are Vicars in the church of England. They are often (but not always) entitled to a monthly stipend but they have no employment rights whatsoever as they are not employees.
