Frequently Asked Questions
Our service is tailored to your needs, but typically includes unlimited advice, preparation of your annual accounts and self-assessment tax return, VAT returns if you're registered, and ongoing bookkeeping support. We also help you decide on the best business structure and ensure you claim every allowable expense. You'll have a dedicated accountant who understands the creator economy.
Absolutely. We work with creators who have multiple income streams, including ad revenue, sponsorships, affiliate income, and even side businesses. Our team will consolidate everything into one clear financial picture, making sure you're tax-efficient and compliant across all your activities.
We offer fixed, transparent packages with no hidden fees. Your fee depends on the complexity of your finances and the level of service you need. We'll give you a clear quote upfront, so you know exactly what you'll pay. There are no surprises, and you can scale your package as your channel grows.
Common expenses include equipment like cameras and microphones, software subscriptions, internet and phone bills, travel to shoots or events, and costs for editing or thumbnails. You can also claim a portion of your home costs if you use a room exclusively for work. We'll help you identify every legitimate deduction to reduce your tax bill.
It depends on your income level and long-term goals. A limited company can be more tax-efficient if you're earning significant profits, but it comes with extra admin and filing responsibilities. We'll compare your situation and advise you on the most tax-efficient structure, whether that's sole trader or limited company.
We handle the preparation and filing of your self-assessment tax return, ensure you're registered for VAT if required, and manage your Making Tax Digital obligations. We also keep track of all deadlines and remind you well in advance, so you never miss a payment or face penalties. Our proactive approach gives you peace of mind.
We primarily use Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent, which are user-friendly and designed for small businesses. We'll set up the software for you, connect your bank accounts, and show you how to use it simply. You don't need to be an expert – we handle the technical side and provide training if needed.
Getting started is easy. Simply book a free, no-obligation consultation through our website or give us a call. We'll discuss your situation, answer any questions, and provide a tailored quote. If you decide to proceed, we'll handle the switch from your current accountant or help you get set up from scratch.
