Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance work?
When selecting an accountant, check that they are registered with a recognised professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. This ensures they have the necessary qualifications and follow ethical guidelines. Look for experience with freelancers specifically, as they will understand variable income and allowable expenses. Also consider their communication style and whether they offer proactive advice on tax planning 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 legally. They can also advise on payments on account and help you respond to any queries from HMRC. This saves you time and reduces the risk of errors that could lead to penalties.
Do I need an accountant if I use accounting software?
Accounting software can help you record transactions, but it cannot provide the professional judgement and strategic advice that an accountant offers. Software may not identify all allowable expenses or flag potential VAT issues. An accountant can interpret the data, ensure compliance with HMRC regulations, and offer tax planning strategies. They also save you time by handling complex matters like Corporation Tax or IR35 assessments.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an AAT qualified accountant?
AAT qualifications focus on practical accounting skills such as bookkeeping and preparing accounts, while ACCA is a higher-level qualification covering advanced areas like taxation, audit, and financial management. Both are recognised and respected, but the right choice depends on your needs. For complex tax planning or limited company affairs, an ACCA or ICAEW accountant may offer deeper expertise, whereas an AAT professional is ideal for day-to-day record keeping.
How can a freelance accountant help with VAT registration?
If your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, you must register for VAT. An accountant can advise on whether voluntary registration is beneficial, help you choose the right scheme such as Flat Rate or Annual Accounting, and ensure you submit accurate VAT returns on time. They can also guide you on input tax claims and record keeping requirements, keeping you compliant with HMRC.
What records should I keep as a freelancer for my accountant?
You should keep records of all income received, including invoices and bank statements, and all business expenses with receipts. If you use a vehicle for work, maintain a mileage log. Also keep records of any personal money introduced into or taken from the business. Your accountant will need these to prepare your accounts and tax return accurately. Digital records are acceptable, but ensure they are organised and accessible.
