Who We Help
We work with creators at every stage, from first paid collaboration through to multi-million view channels running a full production team.
Sole Trader or Limited Company? Choosing Your Structure
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. We help you weigh up the practical and financial differences so you can choose the structure that suits your creator business.
- How income level and profitability can influence the most suitable structure
- Salary, dividends and how you want to take money out of the business
- Company formation and the ongoing administrative responsibilities of a limited company
- Corporation Tax, personal tax returns and how each structure is taxed
- Liability considerations and what limited company status can mean for personal risk
- Growth plans and whether your structure supports where you want the business to go
International Income & Cross-Border Tax for Creators
YouTube pays from the US, TikTok pays from Ireland, a brand deal lands from Dubai and your Patreon settles in dollars. Each of those routes carries its own withholding tax, VAT and currency treatment. We help you understand foreign income, applicable treaty relief and UK reporting requirements to reduce the risk of unnecessary double taxation.

Frequently Asked Questions
We provide bookkeeping, Self Assessment tax returns, VAT support where applicable, limited company accounts and Corporation Tax, payroll, and cloud accounting setup. We also help with income tracking across multiple platforms and guidance on allowable expenses. Our Accountants for Influencers service is tailored to the realities of creator income, whether you are just starting out or already earning from several streams.
It depends on your circumstances. If your content income is growing, or you have multiple income streams, an accountant can help you stay organised and understand your tax position. Many creators find that professional support saves time and reduces stress, even if their earnings are still modest. We are happy to chat through whether our services would be useful for you.
Brand deal and sponsorship income should be recorded as business income, with details of the payer, date and amount. If you are VAT registered, you may need to charge VAT on top. We help you set up a simple system to track these payments, whether they arrive via bank transfer, PayPal or platform payment. Accurate records make your tax return much easier to prepare.
Allowable expenses are those incurred wholly and exclusively for your business. This can include equipment, software subscriptions, props, a proportion of home office costs, and travel to shoots or events. The rules depend on your circumstances, and some costs are treated differently. We can help you identify what is likely to be allowable and keep the right records.
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT registration threshold set by HMRC. Some creators register voluntarily even below the threshold. VAT treatment for digital services and goods can be complex, especially if you sell to international audiences. We can review your situation and advise on whether registration is required or beneficial.
The right structure depends on your income, profitability, growth plans and how you want to take money from the business. A limited company can offer different tax and liability considerations, but comes with more administration. Many creators start as sole traders and review later. We can help you weigh up the options based on your individual circumstances.
Cloud accounting lets you see your income and expenses in real time, often from your phone. Bank feeds automatically import transactions, and you can categorise expenses on the go. It also makes it easier to share records with your accountant, so tax returns are less of a scramble. We can recommend and set up a suitable platform for your needs.
Just get in touch for an initial chat. We will ask about your income streams, how you currently manage your finances and what you need help with. There is no obligation, and we will explain how we work and what our services involve. If we are a good fit, we can set you up with cloud accounting and take it from there.
