Our team works closely with you to understand your unique situation and offer personalised support.
Our services are ideal for social media influencers, content creators, YouTubers, TikTokers, podcasters, bloggers, and streamers based in Widnes or the surrounding areas. Whether you're just starting out or have been creating content for years, we can help you manage your finances effectively. We work with creators at all income levels, from part-time hobbyists to full-time professionals with multiple income streams.
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Our packages are fixed and tailored to the complexity of your financial situation. You can choose a monthly plan that suits your needs, and we'll provide a clear breakdown of what's included. We don't charge by the hour, so you can budget with confidence knowing exactly what you'll pay each month.
We handle all aspects of HMRC compliance for you, including preparing and filing your self-assessment tax return on time. We'll calculate your tax liability accurately, considering all allowable expenses and reliefs. We also monitor deadlines and notify you in advance, so you never miss a filing date. Additionally, we assist with VAT registration and returns if your income exceeds the threshold, and we ensure your records meet Making Tax Digital requirements.
The decision depends on your income level, growth plans, and personal preferences. As a sole trader, you have simpler accounting and pay income tax on your profits. As a limited company, you may benefit from corporation tax rates and can extract income via dividends, which can be more tax-efficient at higher profit levels. We'll analyse your situation and recommend the best structure, and we can also help you switch if your circumstances change.
You can claim a wide range of expenses directly related to your content creation, such as equipment (cameras, microphones, lighting), software subscriptions, internet and phone bills, travel for collaborations or events, marketing and promotion costs, and a portion of your home office expenses. We'll help you identify all eligible deductions and keep proper records to support your claims.
We set up and manage cloud accounting software on your behalf, connecting your bank accounts and payment platforms to automatically import transactions. This allows us to categorise income and expenses in real time, making it easier to track profitability and prepare for tax. You'll have access to your financial data anytime, and we can generate reports for you to review. It also ensures you're compliant with Making Tax Digital for VAT.
Getting started is simple. Just contact us through our website or give us a call to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation. We'll discuss your current financial situation, your goals, and how we can help. If you decide to work with us, we'll onboard you quickly, gather necessary information, and assign a dedicated accountant to manage your account. We'll handle the rest, so you can focus on creating content.
