Self-employed? Keep more of what you earn — and never dread January again
When you work for yourself, no one else is watching your tax. We are — handling your Self Assessment, your books and your expenses so you pay less, stay compliant, and get your time back.
- Fixed monthly fee
- A named accountant
- UK-wide, fully online
Everything you need
One team, one fixed fee
- Self Assessment. Your tax return prepared and filed early, with every allowance claimed.
- Bookkeeping Services. Your records kept current and MTD-ready — no shoebox of receipts.
- VAT returns. If you cross the £90k threshold, registration and quarterly returns handled.
- Tax planning. Keep your tax bill down as your self-employed income grows.
The bits no one warns you about
When you’re self-employed, the tax doesn’t take care of itself. Every pound of expense you forget, every deadline you miss, and every guess about what to set aside comes straight out of your pocket.
Most sole traders end up either overpaying — because they didn’t know what to claim — or scrambling in January, hoping they’ve got it right. It doesn’t have to be that way.
- No employer sorting your tax — it’s all on you
- Not knowing which expenses you’re allowed to claim
- Guessing how much to set aside for the bill
- The 31 January panic, every single year
- Payments on account catching you by surprise
- Making Tax Digital for Income Tax on the way
Everything handled, under one roof
Being self-employed is brilliant, until the admin lands on you. There’s no payroll department doing your tax, no one telling you what you can claim, and a 31 January deadline that always arrives faster than you expect.
We give sole traders and freelancers a dedicated accountant who takes all of it off your plate — your tax return, your bookkeeping, your expenses and the planning to keep your bill down — for one simple fixed monthly fee.

Looking for a self employed accountant near you?
When you search for a self employed accountant near me, you’re usually after someone who understands sole-trader tax, replies quickly, and won’t cost you half a day travelling to an office. We give you exactly that — a named accountant for the self-employed, working with you online, anywhere in the UK.
Everything runs securely in the cloud, so “near you” becomes a quick call, video chat or message rather than a trip across town. Whether you’re in London, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds or a rural spot with no good local firm, you get the same fixed monthly fee and the same person who knows your work.
The result is faster answers at Self Assessment time, no travelling, and an accountant picked for fit instead of postcode. Book a free consultation and we’ll walk you through how it works.

The honest answers to what you’re thinking
How much is an accountant for a self-employed person?
It varies with how much support you need, which is why we agree a fixed monthly fee up front after a free quote. For many sole traders it’s a modest amount that pays for itself in the tax we save and the time we hand back.
Should I get an accountant if I’m self-employed?
If your affairs are very simple you can manage alone, and we’ll say so honestly. But once you have real expenses, growing income, or you simply value your time, an accountant usually saves more than the fee — and removes the stress entirely.
I’ve only just started / I’m tiny — is it worth it?
Yes. Getting set up correctly from the start, registered with HMRC and claiming the right expenses early, saves money and headaches later. We scale what we do to your size.
I want occasional help, not a big commitment.
That’s fine. We can simply handle your annual Self Assessment, or take on the full monthly job — whatever suits how you work. And switching to us from another accountant is quick and painless.
