You probably didn’t become a contractor because of your love of paperwork but the reality is that you are now running your own business – and there’s a whole heap of admin to be done just to keep on top of your finances and comply with tax rules. Your day-to-day is spent working on contracts for clients, so when are you expected to deal with it all? Our fixed fee accounting package for contractors can help with the load.
Expert service and support for a fixed monthly fee
Putting it off until January and then deciding you need an accountant to help you make sense of your records is the worse thing you can do. With potential late-payment penalties from HMRC, a ‘surprise’ income tax liability and your accountant’s fees you could be facing a large bill that you didn’t budget for.
Our affordable fixed-fee Contractor Accountant service makes it easy for you to keep your personal and business finances up-to-date, meet tax return and payment deadlines, and budget for tax and fees.
For a fixed amount per month you will benefit from
- access to your own dedicated accountant who understands your business
- telephone and email support
- ongoing bookkeeping or access to our online accounting portal
- completion of your annual accounts
- VAT and PAYE calculations
- completion of your Tax Return
- help to set up your limited company and a business bank account
- ongoing business support and tax advice.
The service is suitable for all contractors, freelance professionals and locums.

Contractor mortgages
As a self-employed individual, you might think it would be in your best financial interests to make less profit, and therefore pay less tax. But when you need to apply for a mortgage, you’ll want the opposite to be true: larger profits, higher earnings. Whilst we can’t change your accounts to make it look like you’ve made more money, we can put you in touch with a partner advisor who specialises in mortgages for contractors.
