Self Assessment for Freelancers, done properly

Is your self assessment on track?
Answer five quick questions and get a clear next step based on where you actually are.
What I handle on your behalf
From registration through to filing, I take care of the full self assessment process so you can stay focused on your work.
Self Assessment Tax Return
I prepare and file your self assessment tax return accurately and on time, every year. I work through your income, expenses and any allowable deductions to make sure your tax bill is correct, not just calculated in a hurry. You receive a clear summary in plain English before anything goes to HMRC.
Included in all plansFreelancer Tax Planning
Most freelancers pay more tax than they need to simply because nobody has sat down with them and looked at what they can legitimately claim. I review your allowable expenses, structure and timing to reduce your bill where HMRC rules permit. This is done personally, not through a checklist.
Ongoing, year-roundMaking Tax Digital Compliance
From April 2026, freelancers earning above specified thresholds must switch to quarterly digital submissions under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. I set up the right software, handle your quarterly updates and make sure you are compliant before the deadlines hit. You do not need to figure any of this out yourself.
MTD readyWhy clients come back every year
Three reasons freelancers choose to work with me rather than filing alone or using a large firm.
You always speak to the person doing your accounts
There are no junior staff here and no handoffs. I handle everything personally for every client. When you have a question, you reach me directly and you get a same-day response. That matters when a client has asked for your UTR and you need an answer quickly.
A fixed fee means no surprises
You know exactly what you pay before we start. There are no hourly rates, no additional charges when you ask a question mid-year and no invoice that appears larger than expected in January. A fixed fee makes your accounting a known cost, not a worry.
Plain English, from someone who understands freelance income
Irregular invoices, project-based income, home working costs, mileage, software subscriptions. I know what freelancers earn and how they spend, so I explain your tax position in terms that make sense for your situation. No jargon. No assumptions that you already know how this works.
How it works
Getting started takes one conversation, and the rest is handled for you.
Book a free call
You book a free call through the contact page. There is no obligation, no sales pitch and no pressure. We talk through your situation, your income and where you are with your self assessment so far.
I review your position
I look at what you have earned, what records you hold and whether there are any gaps or missed expenses. If you have not registered yet or are behind on previous years, I will tell you clearly what the next steps are and what, if anything, needs to happen urgently.
We get your records in order
I set up the right cloud accounting tool for your situation, whether that is QuickBooks, FreeAgent or another platform you already use. Bookkeeping is organised, expenses are recorded correctly and your income is reconciled so everything is accurate before we file.
I file on time, every year
Your return is prepared, reviewed with you in plain English and submitted to HMRC ahead of the deadline. You know what you owe before it is due, with no surprises. I remain available throughout the year for any questions that come up in between.
