Why not just use a general accountant?

Generalist accountants often miss key opportunities. You might:

  • Overpay on tax because your accountant doesn’t know your sector

  • Miss out on valuable tax deductible expenses

  • Get poor advice around IR35, VAT, or working overseas

We work only with contractors and consultants, so we know exactly where the traps are, and how to help you avoid them.
