Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance work?
When selecting an accountant, prioritise professionals with recognised qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These designations ensure the accountant has undergone rigorous training and adheres to professional standards. Additionally, look for experience with freelancers specifically, as they will understand the nuances of Self Assessment and allowable expenses. You should also consider their communication style and availability, as a good accountant should be accessible throughout the year, not just at tax return time.
How can a freelance accountant help me with HMRC deadlines?
A freelance accountant will maintain a clear calendar of all relevant HMRC deadlines, including the 31 January Self Assessment deadline and any payment on account dates. They will prepare your tax return well in advance, allowing you time to review and submit without last-minute panic. If you are VAT-registered, they will also manage your quarterly VAT returns. By entrusting these responsibilities to a professional, you minimise the risk of late filing penalties and interest charges.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW qualified accountant?
Both ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) are prestigious professional bodies. ACCA qualifications have a strong international focus and are popular among accountants working with global clients. ICAEW is one of the oldest and most respected institutes, with a strong emphasis on business and finance. Both require rigorous exams and ongoing professional development, so either qualification indicates a high level of competence and ethical practice.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a freelancer, and can an accountant advise me?
VAT registration is mandatory if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. Even if you are below this threshold, voluntary registration can be beneficial in some circumstances, such as if you incur significant VAT on your business purchases. An experienced accountant can analyse your specific situation and advise whether registration is advantageous. They can also handle the entire VAT registration process and prepare your quarterly returns accurately.
How often should I meet with my accountant throughout the year?
While the frequency of meetings can vary based on your individual needs, it is advisable to have at least two formal reviews each year. One meeting should occur before the end of the tax year to discuss planning opportunities, and another after the year end to review your accounts and prepare for the upcoming deadlines. Many accountants also offer ongoing support via email or phone, so you can reach out whenever you have a question about your finances.
What records do I need to keep for my freelance accountant to prepare my tax return?
You should keep records of all income received, including invoices and bank statements, as well as records of any business expenses you wish to claim. This includes receipts for equipment, travel costs, and professional subscriptions. If you operate through a limited company, you will also need to maintain records of dividends and director's loan transactions. Your accountant can provide a detailed checklist to ensure you are organised and ready for the tax return season.
