How an accountant can help freelancers
With so many HMRC and Companies House obligations you can easily be overwhelmed by the additional workload that comes with being self employed. An accountant can help you simplify the process and ensure you meet all of your obligations on time and accurately. We stay abreast of any tax changes that may affect you and are able to ensure you are working in the most tax efficient manner. Working with an accountant can give you more time to focus on your business while ensuring your freelance business is looked after by a professional.
We offer a wide range of services tailored to suit your needs such as annual accounts filing, VAT registration and returns, personal tax, company secretarial work and payroll registration and administration. We have worked with freelancers and self employed individuals for over 15 years and we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive, personal service to all of our clients.
