Frequently asked questions
What services do accountants for freelancers typically provide?
Accountants for freelancers usually offer services such as preparing and filing Self Assessment tax returns, managing VAT registration and returns, bookkeeping, and providing tax planning advice. They can also help with setting up a limited company, calculating allowable expenses, and ensuring compliance with HMRC deadlines. Some accountants offer payroll services if you employ staff or pay yourself a salary. The exact services depend on your individual needs and the accountant you choose.
How do I know if an accountant is qualified and regulated?
Qualified accountants will be members of recognised professional bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These organisations require members to adhere to strict ethical guidelines and maintain professional competence through continuing education. You can verify an accountant's credentials by checking the register on the relevant body's website. Additionally, accountants who are regulated may be authorised by HMRC to act as tax agents, which provides extra assurance of their expertise.
Can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
Yes, accountants can prepare and file your Self Assessment tax return on your behalf. They will gather all necessary information about your income and expenses, calculate the tax you owe, and ensure the return is submitted before the deadline. They can also advise on allowable expenses and reliefs to minimise your tax liability. Using an accountant reduces the risk of errors and helps you stay compliant with HMRC requirements.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) are both prestigious professional bodies. ACCA has a global focus and is popular among accountants working in business and practice. ICAEW is highly regarded in and offers the ACA qualification, which is often associated with chartered accountancy. Both qualifications require rigorous training and examinations, and members must follow strict codes of conduct.
Do I need to register for VAT as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT threshold, which is £90,000. Even if your turnover is below this threshold, you may choose to register voluntarily, which can be beneficial if you incur VAT on business expenses. An accountant can help you decide whether voluntary registration is right for you, assist with the registration process, and prepare your VAT returns to ensure you meet HMRC's requirements.
How can I find the right accountant for my freelance business?
Start by identifying your specific needs, such as help with tax returns, VAT, or company formation. Then, use a directory like AccountingFirms.co.uk to find and compare accountants in your local area. Look for professionals who have experience working with freelancers and who are members of recognised bodies like ACCA or ICAEW. Reading client reviews and arranging an initial consultation can also help you determine if the accountant is a good fit for you.
