What’s included in our Self-Employed Accounting package?
Running a business on your own can be lonely. When you’re self-employed, you take on many business roles in order to tick over day-on-day. Think sales and marketing, IT, and finances… you have to cover them all. The challenge is that you’re mostly focused on doing what you do best; providing your products and services to your customers. The other important bits tend to get done at the weekend.
So who do you turn to when you can’t see the wood for the trees? It’s hard when you haven’t got someone to bounce ideas off, or see the bright future ahead when things are busy. A close relationship with a trusted adviser can make all the difference.
When it comes to your Self-Employed taxes, we can assist with the following:
Value Added Tax
Different rates for different businesses You may need help with your Value Added Tax (VAT) obligations, and advice on registration and when voluntary registration may be beneficial. It is important to look at your purchases and see which input VAT can be claimed, and know the difference between the different rate schemes and which products […]
Statutory Financial Statements
Taking the stress out of preparing your statutory financial statements, keeping everything clear and compliant. Any business generally has nine months from their year end to file their statutory financial statements and accounts with HMRC. To do this properly, you also need full unaudited statements for the shareholders which are attached to the Corporation Tax […]
Personal Tax Returns
Expert knowledge to help you maximise the numerous tax allowances and reliefs that are available Many people find it time consuming and complicated to file their own personal tax return, and still ensure they only pay the right amount of tax. Whether you are a sole trader, in a partnership, a director of a limited […]
Payroll
A complex, ever-changing landscape Payroll can be incredibly time-consuming, with the added pressure of ensuring it is completed accurately and to a specific deadline. As an employer, you are required to submit payroll information, as well as national insurance and PAYE tax, to HMRC every time you pay an employee. There are many questions you […]

Construction Industry Schemes

Company Secretarial
We take care of your company secretarial tasks so you can keep your focus on steering the business forward. Every business must have someone to take care of the company secretarial side of the business and deal with Companies House, yet this is an often-overlooked yet important task. And it’s not just about filing of […]
Capital Gains Tax
Taking full advantage of your allowances If you sell assets that have increased in value, then you are going to be liable for Capital Gains Tax on the profits. From personal possessions, business assets and property, to shares and investments, you need to make sure you are paying the correct amount of Capital Gains Tax. […]
Bookkeeping
Financial expertise and support with the day-to-day accounting needs for your business It can be a time-consuming, complex, and often-neglected task. However, every business is required by law to ‘keep books’ and as your business grows, so too does the amount of bookkeeping. You need financial expertise and support with the day-to-day accounting needs of […]
A Firm Hand on the Details
We also take care of the practicalities, removing the burden of bookkeeping, tax returns, and compliance so you can focus on your business. Our services include outsourced bookkeeping, payroll management, VAT tracking and advice on registration, and the preparation of self-employed accounts. We’ll calculate your tax and national insurance, ensure your return is filed on time, and check your pension contributions and Gift Aid donations to reduce your bill if you’re a higher-rate taxpayer. We can also advise on the most effective trading structure — whether sole trader or limited company — while providing reliable estimates of future liabilities. With Essendon, every detail is handled, giving you year-round peace of mind.
