Is your IT contractor accounting in order?
Answer five quick questions and get a clear picture of where you stand and what needs attention.
What I handle on your behalf
From your limited company accounts to VAT returns and personal self assessment, I take care of the compliance side so you can stay focused on your contracts.
Limited Company Accounts and Corporation Tax
Most IT contractors operate through a personal service company, also called a PSC. I prepare your year-end accounts, file your corporation tax return, and make sure every deadline is met. Corporation tax sits at 19% on profits up to £50,000 and rises to 25% above £250,000, with marginal relief available in between.
Included in Ltd packagesIR35 Guidance and Employment Status
IR35 is the off-payroll working legislation that determines whether HMRC treats your engagement as employment for tax purposes. Whether it applies depends on your specific contract and working arrangements, not just your job title. I explain your position in plain English and walk you through the practical implications for your tax bill.
Part of ongoing supportSelf Assessment Tax Returns and VAT
As a contractor director, you will normally need to file a personal self assessment return alongside your company obligations each year. I also handle your quarterly VAT submissions, making sure the right VAT scheme is applied to your contracting setup from the start.
All deadlines coveredWhy clients come back every year
IT contractors who work with me stop worrying about tax and get back to the work they are actually paid for.
You always speak to David directly
There are no juniors, no call centres, and no handoffs at STZ Accounting. When you have a question about your IR35 position or your next VAT return, you get a same-day response from me personally. With over 25 years of real business experience before qualifying, I have seen most contractor situations before.
Fixed prices with nothing hidden
I give you a fixed monthly price before any work begins, so you always know exactly what you are paying. Ltd company packages start from £215 per month and cover your accounts, corporation tax, payroll, VAT, self assessment, and ongoing advice. No surprise invoices at year end.

I work remotely with contractors across Scotland and the UK, so location is never a barrier. You deal with me at every stage, from the free introductory call through to filing your year-end accounts. STZ Accounting is top-rated on Bark with 48 verified 5-star reviews from real clients.
How it works
Getting started takes one short call and I handle everything else from there.
Book a free call
We have a short, no-obligation call where you tell me about your contracting setup. I will ask about your company structure, your current situation, and any deadlines coming up. No homework required from you beforehand.
Get a clear fixed-price quote
Based on our conversation, I give you a fixed monthly price with no hidden extras. You know exactly what is covered before you agree to anything, and there is no pressure to decide on the call.
I take over your compliance
Once you are on board, I register as your HMRC agent and take responsibility for your accounts, tax returns, VAT, payroll, and any other filings in scope. If you have a previous accountant, I manage the transfer process directly so you do not have to.
Ongoing support throughout the year
You can message me with questions any time and get a same-day response. I track your deadlines, alert you before anything is due, and keep your contractor finances in order all year round.
