Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance business?
When selecting an accountant, look for recognised qualifications from professional bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Check their experience with freelancers and whether they offer services tailored to your industry. Consider their communication style and availability, as you will need to share financial information regularly. Also, ask about their fees and what is included, such as tax return preparation and HMRC correspondence.
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 review your income and expenses to ensure you claim all allowable deductions, reducing your tax bill. They can also advise on payments on account and help you plan for future tax liabilities. If HMRC contacts you about your return, your accountant can handle the correspondence on your behalf.
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 £85,000. Even if your turnover is below this, voluntary registration may be beneficial if you incur VAT on business purchases. An accountant can assess your situation and advise whether registration is right for you. They can also manage your VAT returns and ensure compliance with HMRC regulations.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW are both prestigious accountancy bodies, but they have different focuses. ACCA has a global outlook and is popular among accountants in business and practice. ICAEW is highly regarded in and emphasises chartered accountancy skills. Both qualifications require rigorous exams and ongoing professional development. The right choice depends on your specific needs and the accountant's experience with freelancers.
Can an accountant help me if I operate as a limited company?
Yes, an accountant can be invaluable if you run your freelance business through a limited company. They can prepare your annual accounts and Corporation Tax return, ensuring you meet Companies House and HMRC deadlines. They will also advise on salary and dividend payments to minimise your tax liability. Additionally, they can help with payroll if you employ staff or take a salary.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your business needs. Many freelancers meet with their accountant quarterly to review financial performance and plan for tax payments. Others only contact their accountant at year-end for their tax return. Regular communication is beneficial, especially during periods of change, such as new contracts or investments. Your accountant can advise on a schedule that keeps you compliant and informed.
