Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance work?
When selecting an accountant for your freelance activities, look for recognised qualifications from bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW or AAT. Check that they have experience with freelancers and understand Self Assessment, VAT and allowable expenses. It is also wise to consider their communication style and whether they offer proactive advice. Reading client reviews and comparing fees will help you find a professional who fits your needs and budget.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can prepare and submit your Self Assessment tax return accurately and on time. They will ensure you claim all legitimate business expenses, reducing your tax bill. They can also advise on payments on account and help you set aside the correct amount of tax. If HMRC enquires into your return, your accountant will handle the correspondence and represent you throughout the process.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. However, even if you are below this limit, voluntary registration might be beneficial depending on your clients and expenses. An accountant can analyse your specific situation and advise whether VAT registration is advantageous. They will also manage your VAT returns and ensure compliance with HMRC regulations.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an AAT qualified accountant?
AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) qualifications focus on practical bookkeeping and accounting skills, often at a technician level. ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is a higher-level professional qualification covering advanced areas like audit, taxation and financial management. Both are respected, but ACCA members typically have broader strategic expertise. Your choice depends on the complexity of your freelance finances and the level of advice you require.
Can an accountant help me if I operate as a limited company?
Yes, accountants who specialise in freelancers can assist with all aspects of running a limited company. They will prepare your annual accounts and Corporation Tax return, manage your PAYE and payroll if you take a salary, and advise on dividend payments. They can also help with company secretarial duties and ensure you meet all filing deadlines with Companies House and HMRC, keeping you compliant and tax-efficient.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your needs and the complexity of your finances. Many freelancers speak with their accountant quarterly to review cash flow, tax provisions and business decisions. Others prefer annual meetings before the tax return deadline. A good accountant will be available throughout the year for ad-hoc queries, offering ongoing support. Regular communication helps you stay on top of tax changes and plan effectively.
