Frequently asked questions
What specific services do accountants for freelancers typically provide?
Accountants for freelancers offer a range of services including preparing and filing your Self Assessment tax return, bookkeeping, and calculating your quarterly payments on account. They also provide advice on allowable expenses, assist with VAT registration and returns, and can help you structure your business. Many also offer payroll services if you employ staff or need to pay yourself a salary through a limited company.
How can an accountant help me with my HMRC tax return?
An accountant ensures your tax return is accurate and submitted on time to HMRC. They will review your income and expenses to ensure you claim all allowable deductions, potentially reducing your tax bill. They can also communicate with HMRC on your behalf if there are any queries or issues, providing professional representation and reducing the stress associated with dealing with tax authorities.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW qualified accountant?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are prestigious professional bodies. ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) has a strong international focus and is popular with those in business and practice. ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) is highly regarded for its rigorous training and is often associated with larger firms. Both qualifications require significant study and practical experience, ensuring a high level of competence.
Should I register for VAT as a freelancer?
VAT registration is mandatory if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold. However, even if you are below the threshold, you might consider voluntary registration. An accountant can analyse your specific situation, considering your client base and expenses. If your clients are VAT-registered, they may not mind the added cost, and you could reclaim VAT on your own business purchases, potentially making voluntary registration beneficial.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant?
You should keep records of all income received and all business expenses, including receipts and invoices. It is also wise to maintain a record of your bank statements and any personal money introduced into or taken from the business. Using accounting software can simplify this process. Your accountant can advise on the best system to use and what specific records are required for your tax return.
How often should I meet with my accountant for my freelance business?
The frequency of meetings depends on your business complexity and personal preference. Many freelancers meet with their accountant quarterly to review their financial position and plan for tax payments. Some prefer a more hands-on approach with monthly check-ins, whilst others only require annual contact for their tax return. A good accountant will be available throughout the year for ad-hoc advice as your business evolves.
