Is your freelance tax on track?
Answer five quick questions and get a clear, personalised next step based on where you are right now.
What I handle on your behalf
From self assessment to VAT and bookkeeping, I take the financial admin off your plate so you can focus on client work.
Self Assessment Tax Returns
I prepare and file your self assessment return accurately and on time, making sure every allowable expense is claimed. You do not need to understand the form. I translate what HMRC needs into plain steps and handle the submission directly. Penalties for late or inaccurate filing start at £100, so getting this right matters.
Included for all sole tradersBookkeeping and VAT Returns
I keep your records in order throughout the year using cloud software you already use or are comfortable learning, including QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Xero and Sage. VAT returns and Making Tax Digital submissions are handled personally for every client. You will always know what you owe before HMRC tells you.
MTD-ready from day oneTax Planning for Freelancers
Most freelancers pay more tax than they need to because no one has taken the time to look at their full picture. I review your income, expenses and structure at least once a year to make sure you are not leaving money on the table. This is a conversation, not a form, and it happens proactively rather than at year-end.
Included year-roundWhy clients come back every year
Three things that make working with Anchor genuinely different from a standard accountancy firm.
You deal with me, not a junior
There are no handoffs here. Every email you send, every question you ask and every return that gets filed goes through me personally. I know your situation because I built it with you. That continuity is something larger firms cannot replicate when staff change every year.
Fixed fees, agreed upfront
You know exactly what you are paying before we start. There are no hourly billing surprises and no charge for picking up the phone with a quick question. A fixed monthly or annual fee means you can budget properly and actually ask the questions you have been putting off.
Fast answers when it matters
Freelance income moves quickly and questions cannot always wait until next month. I respond to client messages the same day because most queries are time-sensitive. Whether it is a client asking for a proof of income letter or a tax bill that does not look right, you get a real answer fast.
How it works
Four straightforward steps from your first contact to having everything handled.
Book a free call
You book a free introductory call at a time that suits you. No forms to fill in first. I just want to hear about your situation and understand what you need help with.
I review your position
After we speak, I look at your current setup, any previous returns, and what needs doing. This tells me exactly what your accounting involves and whether there are any gaps or missed opportunities.
We agree a fixed fee
I give you a clear, fixed price for everything we have discussed. No vague estimates. You know exactly what is covered and what you will pay before anything is signed.
I handle everything from there
Once you are on board, I take care of your bookkeeping, returns and any HMRC correspondence personally. You get a same-day response when questions come up and a proactive heads-up before any deadline.
