IR35 Accounting for Contractors, Done Properly
I help UK contractors understand their IR35 position, handle their limited company accounts, and make sure they are not paying more tax than they need to.
You deal with me directly, every time. Fixed fee, plain English, and I reply the same day.

Is your IR35 position as solid as you think?
Answer five quick questions and get a clear, personalised next step based on your contracting situation.
What I handle on your behalf
From your IR35 status assessment through to your annual limited company accounts and corporation tax return, I take care of the whole picture.
IR35 Status Review and Ongoing Guidance
I review your working arrangements against HMRC’s key IR35 tests: control, substitution, and mutuality of obligation. If your client sends you a Status Determination Statement, I go through it with you in plain English so you understand exactly where you stand. Getting this right at the start of a contract protects you from the kind of tax bill that arrives years later.

If you contract through a personal service company, your annual accounts and corporation tax return need to be filed accurately and on time. I handle both, personally. I also make sure your director salary and dividend structure is set up in a tax-efficient way that is defensible if HMRC looks at it.

IR35 directly affects how much you take home. If you are outside IR35, I help you structure your income so you keep more of what you earn within the rules. If you are inside, I explain exactly what that means for your pay and help you plan accordingly. No guesswork, just honest numbers.
Year-round, not just at year-endWhy contractors stay once they find me
Most contractors have had an accountant who was fine for self assessment but blank-faced when IR35 came up.
You speak to me, not a junior
There are no handoffs at Anchor Accounts and Books. I am the only person who works on your file, so when you have a question about your IR35 position or your accounts, you get an answer from someone who actually knows your situation. That matters when a contract renewal is on the table and you need clarity fast.
Fixed fees, no surprises
You know what you are paying before you start. I do not charge extra every time you send an email or pick up the phone with a question. For contractors who are already watching their take-home shrink inside IR35, that kind of cost certainty is not a small thing.
IR35 is something I actually deal with
A lot of accountants added an IR35 page last year. I have been working with limited company contractors for years, across private and public sector engagements. I use cloud accounting tools including QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Xero and Sage, so I can also set you up properly from the start rather than inheriting a mess.
How it works
Four straightforward steps, and you can have your IR35 position reviewed and your accounts in order without it taking over your week.
Book a free call
You book a free call through the contact page. We talk through your contracting situation, your current IR35 concerns, and what you need from an accountant. No obligation and no jargon.
I review your position
I look at your working arrangements, any Status Determination Statement your client has issued, and how your limited company is currently set up. I give you a clear picture of where you stand and what, if anything, needs to change.
We agree a fixed fee
Once I understand what you need, I confirm a fixed monthly fee. You know exactly what is included before you commit. If you are switching from another accountant, I handle the transfer directly.
I take care of the ongoing work
From that point, I handle your limited company accounts, corporation tax, self assessment, and any IR35 questions that come up during the year. You contact me directly and I respond the same day.
