The Challenge
Self-Employment Is Rewarding. The Admin That Comes With It Often Isn't.
As a sole trader, you're personally responsible for registering with HMRC, filing your self assessment tax return each year, and keeping records that back up every claim you make. Get it wrong and you could face penalties, overpay your tax bill, or miss out on allowances you were entitled to.
Most sole traders we work with come to us after years of doing it themselves — often realising they've been overpaying tax or underclaiming expenses without realising it. Some have received HMRC letters that could have been avoided entirely with the right support in place from the start.
We make it straightforward. You focus on earning; we handle the tax.
What We Handle
Everything a Sole Trader Needs
From your first year in business to the point where incorporation starts to make sense — we're with you every step of the way.
Self Assessment Tax Return
We prepare and file your personal tax return with HMRC each year, claiming every allowable expense and relief so you never overpay. Filed well before the 31st January deadline.
Learn more →Bookkeeping
We keep your income and expense records accurate and up to date throughout the year using cloud software, giving you a clear picture of your finances at all times.
Learn more →VAT Returns
If your turnover exceeds the £90,000 VAT threshold, we handle registration, scheme selection, and quarterly MTD-compliant returns — with no surprise bills.
Learn more →Allowable Expenses Advice
Many sole traders underclaim on expenses. We review what you can legitimately offset — from home office costs to travel, equipment, and professional subscriptions.
Learn more →CIS Returns (Contractors)
If you work in the construction industry as a subcontractor, we handle your CIS deductions and help you reclaim any overpaid tax through your self assessment.
Learn more →Incorporation Advice
As your business grows, there's a point where incorporating as a limited company saves you money. We'll tell you when that point is and handle the transition smoothly.
