“Dealing with self assessments and tax returns can be very stressful. But David Roseweir in STZ Accounting made that very simple. He is approachable, efficient and very professional.”
Is your self assessment on track?
Answer five quick questions and get a clear picture of where you stand with HMRC this tax year.
What I handle on your behalf
From your first year of freelancing through to ongoing annual returns, I take care of the whole process so you can focus on your clients.
Self Assessment Tax Return
I prepare your return from the information you send me, making sure every allowable expense is captured before anything is submitted. That includes equipment, home office costs, professional subscriptions, and travel to client sites. You review and approve the figures first, then I file directly with HMRC.
Core serviceBookkeeping for Freelancers
Organised records throughout the year mean a more accurate return and a lower tax bill at the end of it. I handle day-to-day bookkeeping and bank reconciliation so there is no last-minute scramble in January. Everything stays clear and ready to report.
Available year-roundVAT Returns and Registration Advice
If your freelance income approaches or crosses the VAT registration threshold, you need to register with HMRC and file quarterly returns. I advise on the right VAT scheme for your situation and handle all submissions on your behalf. No guesswork, no missed deadlines.
When you need itWhy clients come back every year
Three things freelancers consistently tell me they value most about working with STZ Accounting.
You speak to me directly, every time
When you have a question about your return, I answer it. There are no juniors, no handoffs, and no waiting for someone to relay your message. I have over 25 years of real business experience before qualifying as an accountant, so I understand what freelance income actually looks like in practice.
Fixed price, agreed upfront
You get a fixed quote before I start any work. There are no hourly rates, no add-ons, and no invoice shock when the job is done. What I quote is what you pay, and that is the end of it.
Same-day responses, all year round
Self assessment questions do not only arise in January. When something comes up during the year, I respond the same day. That includes questions about expenses, letters from HMRC, and anything else that needs a quick, clear answer.
How it works
Getting started takes one short call, and most returns are completed within a few days of receiving your information.
Book a free call
We have a short, no-obligation call to go through your situation. I find out what income you have, what expenses you might be able to claim, and whether there is anything we need to address with HMRC first. You get a fixed price at the end of that call.
Send me your information
I give you a clear list of exactly what I need. Usually that means your income figures, a summary of expenses, and any other income sources from the tax year. Nothing vague, nothing open-ended.
I prepare and check your return
I prepare your return, check every figure, and make sure all allowable deductions are included. You review everything before it goes anywhere near HMRC, so there are no surprises on either side.
Filed and confirmed
Once you approve the return, I submit it directly to HMRC. You receive confirmation, a plain-English summary of what you owe and when, and I am available the same day if any follow-up questions come up.
