How it works
1. Review the company
We check Companies House details, filing dates, tax registrations, records and any work already in progress.
2. Agree the scope and fee
You receive a written proposal showing recurring services, exclusions and the monthly price before deciding.
3. Onboard or switch
We arrange authorisations and, when switching, request professional clearance and available records from the previous accountant.
4. Run the filing calendar
Records, approvals and deadlines follow an agreed timetable, with questions raised before a return is due.
Specialist guidance
Contractor accounting services for limited companies
A contractor company needs more than a year-end filing. We keep bookkeeping, salary, dividends, expenses and the director’s loan account aligned with the statutory accounts and CT600, while VAT and payroll follow their own submission dates.
The written scope confirms whether bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll and director Self Assessment are included, so a low headline fee does not hide essential work.
Contracts, employment status and IR35
Employment-status and off-payroll rules depend on the working arrangements and facts of each engagement. We explain the accounting consequences and work with specialist advisers where a formal contract or status review is needed; we do not promise an outcome from a job title alone.
Expenses, travel and equipment
Allowable costs must be incurred for the company’s trade and supported by records. Travel to temporary workplaces, equipment, software, professional subscriptions and home-working costs each have conditions, so we review the actual contract and working pattern rather than apply a generic list.
Switching contractor accountant
We check approaching Companies House, Corporation Tax, VAT, payroll and Self Assessment deadlines first. With your authority, we request professional clearance and available records, then identify missing submissions or unreconciled balances before accepting responsibility.
