Frequently asked questions
What should I look for in a contractor accountant?
Look for qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, and experience with IR35, limited companies, and contractor-specific tax rules. A good accountant will explain fees clearly, offer fixed monthly packages, and provide proactive advice on expenses, dividends, and payroll. Check that they are regulated and can handle HMRC correspondence on your behalf.
How do contractor accountants help with HMRC compliance?
Contractor accountants prepare and file your Self Assessment tax return, calculate Corporation Tax, manage VAT returns, and ensure payroll complies with HMRC rules. They keep you informed of deadlines, help you avoid penalties, and can represent you if HMRC queries your affairs. Their expertise ensures your business remains compliant whilst you focus on contract work.
Is it worth hiring an accountant for a small limited company?
Yes, a qualified accountant can save you money by identifying allowable expenses, optimising salary and dividend mix, and ensuring you claim all available reliefs. They also handle statutory accounts and confirmation statements, reducing your admin burden. For contractors, the cost is often offset by tax savings and peace of mind.
What qualifications should a contractor accountant have?
Reputable contractor accountants typically hold ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualifications. These bodies enforce strict ethical and professional standards, so you can trust their advice. Some also specialise in contractor accounting and hold additional certifications in IR35 or employment status. Always verify their credentials before appointing them.
How much does a contractor accountant cost?
Fees vary depending on the services included, but many contractor accountants offer fixed monthly packages starting from around £75 to £150 plus VAT. This usually covers bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns, year-end accounts, and Self Assessment. Some charge extra for additional services like tax planning or company formation.
Can an accountant help me switch from umbrella to limited company?
Yes, a contractor accountant can advise on the tax efficiency of moving from umbrella employment to a limited company. They will explain IR35 implications, help you set up the company, register for VAT and PAYE, and manage your ongoing obligations. Their guidance ensures a smooth transition and helps you maximise take-home pay.
