Contractors and freelancers with growing businesses need to capitalise on time and cost efficiencies wherever they can, especially when tax liabilities are involved.
It’s usually beneficial to have an experienced accountant and adviser on your side to ease the stress involved with preparing end-of-year returns, and to act as a sounding board for ideas and to identify opportunities throughout the year itself.
If you operate as a limited company, there are additional compliance responsibilities relating to the preparation of annual financial statements, corporation tax and other statutory matters. We also work closely with contractors to ensure the nature of work and client relationships are fully compliant with the latest IR35 guidelines.
