Freelance and consulting income rarely arrives in neat, predictable amounts – several clients, different payment terms, and income that varies month to month. Generic accounting advice built for a single-income small business doesn’t always fit that pattern well.
What’s different about freelance and consulting work
- Multiple income sources that need tracking separately, not lumped together
- Irregular cash flow that makes tax payments harder to plan for without help
- Decisions about whether to stay a sole trader or move to a limited company as income grows
- For some contractors, IR35 status is a live question – we can point you in the right direction, though this is an area we’re continuing to build out
Depending on how you’re set up, our Sole Trader or Limited Company accounting covers the core compliance work.
Working remotely is fine
A lot of freelancers and consultants we work with aren’t local to Chelmsford at all – the work itself doesn’t require it, and everything here works just as well over phone, email or video call as it does in person.
