Home » Accountants for Freelancers
Freelancing gives you freedom, but it also hands you a pile of admin most employees never have to think about. As a dedicated freelancer accountant, Account Ease helps creatives, consultants, developers and professionals across the UK stay on top of their tax, their invoicing, and their IR35 position, without slowing down the work that actually pays the bills.
We understand that freelance income does not arrive on a neat monthly schedule, and our service is built around that. Everything is handled online, you get a real freelancer accountant who understands your industry, and we respond quickly, because we know freelancers do not have time to wait days for an answer. Whether you are just starting out or already juggling multiple clients, our fixed-fee packages scale with you.
We charge a straightforward fixed monthly fee, whatever mix of bookkeeping, self assessment, VAT or limited company accounting you need. You can see exactly what is included on our pricing and plans page before you commit to anything. There are no hourly rates, no surprise invoices, and no charges for a quick question, just clear, predictable pricing built for people who would rather spend their time freelancing than reading small print.
A specialist freelancer accountant handles the parts of running your business that have nothing to do with your actual craft, registering you correctly, filing your returns on time, structuring your business efficiently, and making sure you keep more of what you earn. Freelance income is rarely tidy. You might invoice five clients in one month and one in the next, work across sole trader and limited company structures, or juggle UK and overseas clients. We build our service around that reality rather than expecting you to fit a rigid template.
This is one of the first questions almost every freelancer asks us, and the honest answer is that it depends on your income, your clients, and your plans for growth. Operating as a sole trader is simpler and cheaper to run, and suits many freelancers just starting out or earning modest amounts. Moving to a limited company often becomes more tax-efficient once profits grow, and can also make you a more attractive option to certain corporate clients. As your freelancer accountant, we walk you through the numbers for your specific situation rather than giving you a generic rule of thumb, and we can convert you between structures if your circumstances change.
If you freelance as a sole trader, you will need to file a self assessment tax return each year, with the online deadline falling on 31 January. Freelancers with irregular income or multiple clients often find this the most stressful part of the year, chasing invoices, reconciling payments, and working out what is actually taxable. As your freelancer accountant, we handle the entire process for you, keeping your records tidy throughout the year so filing season is simply a formality rather than a scramble.
IR35 determines whether a freelancer working through a limited company should, in substance, be taxed like an employee of the client they are working for. If you work for a medium or large business, that business is generally responsible for assessing your status. From April 2026, the turnover and balance sheet thresholds used to define a small company for these purposes have increased, meaning a meaningful number of businesses will now count as small and the responsibility for determining IR35 status shifts back to the freelancer’s own company. We keep across these changes and help clients understand where they stand, without turning it into a legal minefield.
Working from home or between client sites means most freelancers are entitled to claim a wide range of business expenses, and missing them is one of the most common ways freelancers overpay tax. Typical claims include a proportion of home office costs, software subscriptions and tools, professional insurance, business travel, equipment, and training directly related to your work. Part of what a good freelancer accountant does is go through your expenses with you so nothing gets missed, and nothing gets claimed that shouldn’t be.

It depends on your income level, client base and future plans. Sole trader status is simpler and suits lower or irregular earnings, while a limited company often becomes more tax-efficient as profits grow. As your freelancer accountant, we can talk through the numbers for your specific situation.
IR35 applies to engagements through a limited company that resemble employment in substance, and generally does not apply if you are genuinely self-employed and working across multiple independent clients. Since April 2026, more clients qualify as small businesses, which shifts status assessment responsibility back to your own company.
Common claims include a proportion of home office costs, software and subscriptions, equipment, professional insurance, business travel, and relevant training. We review your specific circumstances to make sure your claim is accurate and complete.
Costs depend on the complexity of your income and business structure, but our fixed monthly fees mean you always know what you are paying. Full details are on our pricing page.
