Who we help
Sherwin Currid: Accountants for IT Consultants
At Sherwin Currid we can provide a complete range of accounting services for small IT businesses and freelance contractors, taking care of your compliance obligations and helping you to maximise your tax efficiency.
IT consultancy
IT consultants are specialists, providing their expertise in cutting-edge technologies, bringing strategic thinking and problem solving skills to companies on a contract basis. In this rapidly evolving digital landscape there is a growing demand for experts in the fields of software development, cybersecurity and data analysis.
Individual IT contractors can provide their services to their end clients in different ways, such as operating as a sole trade or through a limited company (known as a personal service company). Choosing the best way to run your business can be important not only to help you get the best contracts, but also to ensure you are operating tax efficiently.
Here at Sherwin Currid we help our clients operate this way through the provision of comprehensive accounting services. From financial management and tax compliance to strategic planning and expert advice, our accountancy service offers essential support that empowers IT consultants to optimize their financial health and unlock their full potential.

In fact, we are FreeAgent platinum partners, after being one of the first firms to adopt their software in the UK. Being with an accountant who uses cloud accounting software will not only help you by improving your experience and reducing time spent compiling records, but also will prepare you for Making Tax Digital (MTD) meaning you can rest assured you will remain compliant with HMRC’s latest planned changes. FreeAgent is one of the leading providers for contractors, offering access to their tool through a mobile app and desktop access. With the ease of access offered by FreeAgent your accountant will have access to real time data and can ensure your paperwork is up to date, meaning better advice and fantastic support. FreeAgent was designed with contractors in mind and suits those operating as a sole trader or through a limited company. Our team of accountants are also experts in a range of other softwares such as Xero, QuickBooks and Dext meaning you can keep using your preferred software.
