Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance work?
When selecting an accountant, look for qualifications from recognised bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Ensure they have experience with freelancers and understand your specific industry. Check that they are registered with HMRC for agent services and can handle your tax returns, VAT, and any Corporation Tax if you are a limited company. It is also wise to consider their communication style and whether they offer proactive advice.
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, ensuring you claim all allowable expenses and reliefs. They will help you organise your financial records, calculate your tax liability, and advise on payments on account. This reduces the risk of HMRC penalties and saves you valuable time, allowing you to concentrate on your freelance projects.
Do I need to register for VAT as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. Even if you are below this threshold, voluntary registration may be beneficial depending on your clients and expenses. An accountant can assess your situation and advise on the best approach, handle your VAT returns, and ensure you remain compliant with HMRC regulations.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are prestigious professional bodies that certify accountants. ACCA has a strong international focus and is popular among those working in business and practice. ICAEW is highly regarded in and emphasises chartered accountancy. Both qualifications require rigorous exams and ongoing professional development, ensuring high standards of expertise and ethical conduct.
Can an accountant help me if I operate as a limited company?
Yes, accountants who specialise in freelancers often work with limited companies. They can manage your Corporation Tax, prepare statutory accounts, and handle your PAYE if you take a salary. They will also advise on dividend payments, expenses, and ensuring you meet Companies House filing deadlines. This helps you remain compliant and maximise your take-home pay.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your needs and the complexity of your finances. Many freelancers meet quarterly to review cash flow and plan for tax payments, whilst others prefer an annual meeting for tax return preparation. Regular communication is beneficial, especially during the first year of freelancing. Your accountant should be available for ad hoc queries and proactive advice.
