Is your consultant accounting set up correctly?
Answer five quick questions and get a clear picture of where your tax position may need attention.
What I handle on your behalf
From day-to-day records to your annual tax return, I take care of the financial side of your consultancy so nothing gets missed.
Self Assessment Tax Returns
As a consultant, your tax return needs to capture all the income you earn, whether through a limited company, as a sole trader, or across multiple clients. I prepare and file your return from start to finish, claiming every allowable expense along the way. You get a clear explanation of what you owe before anything is submitted.
Available for sole traders and directorsBookkeeping and Year-End Accounts
Keeping your records straight throughout the year means your year-end accounts are accurate and your tax bill is not inflated by disorganised paperwork. I handle bank reconciliation, income tracking and expense categorisation on your behalf. At year-end, your accounts are prepared and filed on time, with no scramble.
Sole traders and limited companiesCorporation Tax and VAT Returns
If you operate through a limited company, I calculate and file your corporation tax return and ensure you are on the right VAT scheme for your billing pattern. Many consultants overpay tax simply because no one has reviewed their structure. I look at your setup and make sure you are not paying more than you need to.
Limited companies and VAT-registered consultantsWhy consultants keep working with me year after year
It comes down to three things that most accounting firms struggle to deliver consistently.
You always speak to me, not a junior
When you have a question about an expense, a client invoice, or an HMRC letter, you contact me directly and I respond the same day. There are no account managers, no call centres, and no explaining your situation twice to someone who does not know your business. One person, consistent contact, every time.
A fixed price with no surprise invoices
I give you a fixed price before any work starts. You know exactly what you are paying and what is covered. Consultants tell me this matters because their income can vary month to month and they do not want an unpredictable accounting bill on top of that. The price we agree is the price you pay.
25 years of business experience before qualifying
I ran businesses for over 25 years before I became a qualified accountant. That means I understand how consulting actually works: variable income, project-based billing, client retainers, IR35 questions. I am not reading about your situation in a textbook. I have lived a version of it.
How it works
Getting your accounting sorted is a straightforward four-step process with no hidden steps and no pressure.
Book a free call
You book a free call at a time that suits you. There is no obligation and no sales pitch. We have a conversation about your consultancy, how you currently handle your finances, and what you actually need from an accountant.
I review your situation
After the call, I take a clear look at your setup. That includes whether you are structured correctly as a sole trader or limited company, whether you are on the right VAT scheme, and what your immediate compliance deadlines look like.
You receive a fixed price quote
I send you a clear, fixed price quote based on what you actually need. No estimate ranges, no hourly rates that creep up. You decide if it works for you and there is no pressure either way.
I handle everything from here
Once we are working together, I take over. Your bookkeeping, tax returns, VAT, accounts, all of it. You stay focused on your consulting work. I stay on top of every deadline and keep you updated without burying you in detail.
