Callum from The Accountancy Partnership recently filed my year-end accounts and made the whole process really straightforward. Callum was excellent throughout - clear, helpful and efficient, and he made everything feel simple from start to finish. A very smooth experience and I’d happily recommend him to anyone looking for reliable accountancy support.
Ben Chetham
As a first-year sole trader, I was a little unsure about the accounting side of things, but James has been incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to guide me through everything, making it much less stressful than I expected.
Hayley Crean
Kieran McCann provided outstanding support in helping me file my corporation tax return within an extremely tight timeframe. The last-minute situation was entirely my own fault, but Kieran remained calm, professional, and incredibly responsive throughout the process. Thanks to his efficiency and dedication, we managed to meet the deadline and avoid what would likely have been a fine. He was always responsible, supportive, and available whenever I needed guidance.

Read Staff SpotlightHow do I become self-employed?
Self-employment means you work for yourself rather than someone else, but this only describes your employment status, not your business structure. To register the business with HMRC, you’ll need to decide how you want to be self-employed. For lots of new businesses this comes down to a choice between operating as a sole trader or a limited company, but there are other options too.
Choosing your legal structure affects the way you register and operate the business, and even the way you report and pay tax, so it can be daunting! Our team will explain the various options available so you can make the best decision for your circumstances. You can get in touch using live chat or by phoning us on 020 3355 4047.
Do I need an accountant if I'm self-employed?
Hiring an accountant to take care of your self-employed tax records and reporting requirements will often save a significant amount of time and stress compared to managing everything alone. You can contact your dedicated accountant directly for unlimited support whenever you have questions, or just need a little reassurance!
Their expertise and experience will help you save money in the long run, offering valuable insights and identifying potential tax savings using any allowances and relief available to you. We’ll even take care of things like leaving your previous accountant, and of course, we’re firmly on your side and ready to act in the rare event of an HMRC investigation.

Self-employed FAQs
We provide Pandle Pro as part of our service, but we’re more than happy to work with you on any bookkeeping system you prefer to use.
This depends on what structure you use to register the business. For example, a sole trader will need to submit either a Self Assessment or MTD Income Tax return depending on the amount and source of their income, whereas limited companies must file a Company Tax Return to report their profits. All our accountancy service packages include your tax return as standard.
Not automatically, although it’s worth noting your details will be published online by Companies House if you decide to register a limited company, so your employer might find your information if they search for it.
Yes, as soon as we have all your details set up and ready, your accountant will reach out to arrange a call so they can get to know you and your business. You’ll be able to speak directly to them at any point throughout the year, too.
