Accounting for the self-employed.
You run the work, win the clients and keep the business moving. We help keep your sole trader tax, records and next steps clear, so the admin does not crowd out the thing you actually built.
Sole trader does not have to mean solo.
Starting as a sole trader can be straightforward. Keeping records tidy, claiming the right expenses, knowing what tax to save and spotting when the business is becoming more complex takes more attention.
We support freelancers, creators, online sellers and service businesses with practical accountancy that grows with the work.
HMRC says sole traders must register for Self Assessment if self-employed earnings go above £1,000 in a tax year.
VAT becomes its own question as taxable turnover grows, especially if sales are rising quickly.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax now matters for some sole traders based on qualifying income.
What we help you handle.
Your accounts should answer useful questions: what you made, what you can claim, what you owe, what to set aside and when your current setup needs a rethink.
Self
Assessment
We prepare and file your sole trader tax return, make the numbers clearer and help you understand tax due, payments on account and the records behind the return.
Book
keeping
Clean bookkeeping helps your tax return, cash flow and decision-making. We help keep income, expenses and software records organised through the year.
Expense
support
We help you separate genuine business costs from personal spending, understand what evidence matters and avoid leaving allowable claims behind.

Tax
planning
We help you plan ahead for profit, cash flow and tax so you know what to save, which decisions matter and where surprises could be building.
When to
incorporate
If the business is growing, we can review whether staying sole trader still suits you or whether a limited company should be explored.
