Frequently Asked Questions
We provide bookkeeping, Self Assessment tax return support, VAT guidance, limited company accounts and Corporation Tax support, payroll where relevant, and cloud accounting setup. Our Accountants for Influencers service is tailored to creators earning from brand deals, ad revenue, affiliate income, merchandise and digital products.
Anyone earning from content creation can benefit, whether you are just starting out or already working with brands regularly. If you have multiple income streams, irregular payments or are unsure what expenses you can claim, specialist support can help you keep accurate records and understand your tax position.
Brand deal and sponsorship income is generally recorded as business income when you receive it or become entitled to it. We help you track each deal, match it to the correct period, and keep supporting documents such as contracts and invoices. This makes your records clearer for Self Assessment or company accounts.
If you are a sole trader, you report your creator income and allowable expenses through Self Assessment. HMRC requires you to keep accurate records and file by the relevant deadline. Whether you need to register depends on your individual circumstances, so it is worth checking with an accountant.
Allowable expenses are costs incurred wholly and exclusively for your creator business. This can include equipment, software subscriptions, props, home office costs and professional fees, depending on your circumstances. We help you identify what may be claimable and keep the right records to support your claims.
VAT registration depends on your taxable turnover and the nature of your supplies. If your turnover exceeds the relevant threshold, or you expect it to, registration may be required. We can review your income and explain your options, including voluntary registration where it might suit your business.
The most suitable 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 also brings additional administrative responsibilities. We help you weigh up the options for your situation.
Cloud accounting gives you real-time visibility of your income and expenses, integrates with your bank and makes it easier to share records with your accountant. Platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent can simplify bookkeeping, invoicing and VAT record management, especially if you have multiple income streams.
Get in touch and we will ask about your income streams, business structure and what you need help with. From there we can recommend a suitable level of support, help you set up cloud accounting if needed, and make sure your records are in good shape for HMRC. Based near Melbourn Cambs, we work with creators locally and remotely.
