According to HMRC,if you had started working for yourself, you would be classified as a sole trader who sell some goods or services, and this implies that you are a self-employed individual. It does not matter whether till now you have informed HMRC or not as you are certainly obliged to pay taxes. In short, you are your own boss who needs professional help to meet all tax obligations and who can be better than an accountant for self-employed individuals.

Our accounting services for self-employed help you to submit your tax returns before the deadlines, minimize your tax liabilities, and much more!

Learn moreStaying compliant as a sole trader or freelancer means juggling HMRC deadlines, changing tax rules, and record-keeping requirements, all while running your business. As your dedicated accountant for self-employed professionals, CoreAdviz manages this end-to-end, so nothing slips through the cracks and nothing gets missed. Here's how we keep you compliant, every step of the way:

Every self-employed accountant client is different: a freelance consultant, a tradesperson, and a gig-economy worker all have different income patterns and allowable expenses. Our advisors review your income, business structure, and goals, then build a personalised tax plan around them. Rather than generic advice, you get strategies that legally minimise your Income Tax, Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance, and overall liability, year after year.

Accurate bookkeeping is the foundation of self-assessment compliance, and it's now mandatory under Making Tax Digital (MTD) for many self-employed individuals. We set up and manage MTD-compliant, cloud-based bookkeeping software so you can track income and expenses in real time, raise professional invoices, and sync your business bank account automatically. Everything is accessible from your phone or laptop, with your dedicated accountant reviewing your figures behind the scenes.

As your self-employed tax accountant, we handle every filing obligation: registering you with HMRC, preparing and submitting your annual Self-Assessment tax return, and calculating Income Tax, National Insurance, and VAT (where applicable). We track every deadline, including the 31 January online filing deadline and payments on account, so you avoid HMRC penalties, interest charges, and last-minute stress.

Tax efficiency isn't a once-a-year exercise. Our accountants for self-employed clients review your finances throughout the year, not just at filing time, to identify savings opportunities, plan around payments on account, and advise on pension contributions, allowable expenses, and the VAT registration threshold (currently £90,000). This proactive approach means fewer surprises and consistently lower tax bills.
