Frequently Asked Questions
We provide a comprehensive accounting service tailored to your creator business. This includes bookkeeping, tax return preparation, VAT management, payroll if needed, and strategic tax planning. We also help you set up the right business structure and use cloud tools to keep everything organised. Our goal is to handle the numbers so you can focus on creating content and growing your brand.
Absolutely. We work with creators at every stage, from those earning their first few hundred pounds to those making a full-time income. We'll assess your situation and recommend the most cost-effective way to manage your finances. Even if you're only earning a little now, we'll set you up for future growth and ensure you're compliant from day one.
We use fixed, transparent packages, so you know exactly what you'll pay with no hidden fees. The price depends on the complexity of your finances and the level of support you need. We'll discuss your requirements and provide a clear quote before you commit. Our aim is to give you value for money and peace of mind.
No, not if you don't want to. Our Accountants handle all communications with HMRC on your behalf, from filing your self-assessment to responding to any queries. We'll keep you informed of any deadlines or requirements, so you never miss anything. You can simply provide us with your income and expense details, and we'll take care of the rest.
It depends on your income level, future plans, and personal preference. As a sole trader, you're personally liable for business debts, but you have less admin. A limited company offers liability protection and potential tax efficiencies, but it comes with more responsibilities. We'll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your specific situation and make a recommendation that suits you.
You can claim a wide range of expenses that are incurred wholly and exclusively for your business. This includes equipment like cameras and laptops, software subscriptions, internet and phone bills (partially), home office costs, travel, and marketing expenses. Also, if you hire editors or assistants, those costs are deductible. We'll help you identify all eligible deductions to lower your tax bill.
We set you up with leading cloud accounting software like Xero or QuickBooks. We connect your bank accounts, PayPal, and other payment platforms to automatically import transactions. You can also snap photos of receipts using the mobile app, and we'll categorise everything. This gives you real-time visibility of your cash flow and makes tax time much simpler.
Getting started is easy. Simply reach out through our website or give us a call. We'll schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your needs. After that, we'll set up your account, gather the necessary information, and begin managing your finances. You'll have a dedicated accountant who understands your world and is always available to answer your questions.
