Do you get to 'control' the umbrella company if you leave the accountancy?

The accountancy firm owns & controls a bunch of umbrella companies.
When I leave I no longer have control of the company.

It sounds like it takes off much of the burden for incorporating but still allows access to the orgs that only want to deal with incorporated contractors!

I work with a large multi-national fin-tech company, they will only sign a contract with a limited liability company, and not a person directly.

The accountancy firm deals with all things tax-related, and sort out even my personal taxes from things like Airbnb.

It's a pretty sweet deal as they often find ways of saving money that I didn't know about.
