Frequently asked questions
Why should contractors use a specialist accountant rather than a general bookkeeper?
Specialist contractor accountants understand IR35, deemed payments, and limited company distributions in ways general bookkeepers often do not. They can advise on the most tax-efficient salary and dividend mix, prepare statutory accounts, and ensure HMRC filings are accurate. This reduces compliance risk and typically saves contractors more than the additional fee charged for expert support.
What qualifications should I look for in a contractor accountant?
Look for membership of recognised bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These credentials confirm the professional has passed rigorous exams and adheres to ethical and continuing professional development requirements. A qualified accountant can handle Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, VAT, and HMRC correspondence correctly, giving contractors confidence that their financial affairs are managed to a high standard.
How do contractor accountants help with HMRC investigations?
If HMRC opens a compliance check, a qualified accountant can act as your representative, prepare supporting documentation, and correspond directly with HMRC on your behalf. They understand the enquiry process and can often resolve matters without escalation. Having professional support in place before any investigation begins is considerably less stressful than seeking help after a letter arrives.
Can an accountant help me decide between a limited company and an umbrella company?
Yes. A qualified accountant will analyse your contract terms, expected income, and personal circumstances to compare take-home pay under both models. They consider IR35 status, allowable expenses, and administrative obligations. This tailored analysis helps contractors choose the structure that best suits their working practices and financial goals.
What ongoing services do contractor accountants typically provide?
Typical services include bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns, statutory accounts preparation, Corporation Tax computations, and Self Assessment filing. Many also offer dividend planning, expense reviews, and advice on HMRC deadlines. Some provide software recommendations and training so contractors can manage day-to-day records efficiently whilst relying on the accountant for compliance and strategic guidance.
