What I handle on your behalf
From keeping your records straight to filing your tax return on time, I take the financial admin off your plate so you do not have to think about it.
Self Assessment Tax Returns
I handle your self assessment from start to finish, making sure every allowable expense is claimed and your return is filed correctly before the deadline. You do not need to know which boxes to fill in or what HMRC expects. I sort it and let you know what you owe, clearly and in plain English.
Filed on time, every timeBookkeeping
I keep your income and expenses recorded and reconciled throughout the year so there are no surprises when your tax return is due. Good bookkeeping means you always know where you stand financially. It also makes your self assessment much faster to complete.
Ongoing or catch-up availableVAT Returns
If your freelance income crosses the VAT threshold, or if you have voluntarily registered, I handle your quarterly VAT returns and make sure you are on the right VAT scheme for your situation. I also advise on whether registering makes sense before you are required to.
Quarterly submissions handledWhy clients come back every year
Freelancers stay with STZ Accounting because they get a direct, reliable service that actually does what it promises.
You always deal with David directly
There are no junior staff, no handoffs, and no call centres here. When you send a message, I reply. When you have a question, I answer it in plain English, not in accounting terms you have to decipher. That is how I run every client relationship.
A fixed price agreed before any work starts
You know what you are paying before I do anything. No hourly billing that creeps up, no invoice that catches you off guard. Freelancers running lean need to know their costs. That is why I quote a fixed price and stick to it.
Real business experience, not just accountancy theory
I spent over 25 years in the real business world before I qualified as an accountant. That means I understand what it is like to manage your own income, worry about cash flow, and try to make sense of what HMRC wants from you. I am not guessing at your situation. I have lived versions of it.
How it works
Getting started is straightforward, and you will know exactly what happens at every stage.
Book a free call
You book a free call directly with me. No sales team, no intake form that disappears into a void. We talk through your freelance situation, what you have done so far, and what you actually need.
I review your situation
After our call I look at what you have, whether that is a folder of receipts, a spreadsheet, or nothing at all. I tell you where things stand and what needs to be done, in plain terms.
You get a fixed price quote
I send you a clear, fixed price for the work. No vague estimates, no open-ended hourly billing. You decide whether you want to go ahead, with no pressure either way.
I handle it and keep you informed
Once you are on board I take care of your bookkeeping, tax return, or whatever else we agreed. I keep you updated, respond to your questions the same day, and make sure every deadline is hit.
