Accountant for freelancers UK
Aurestone helps UK freelancers and self-employed professionals understand real profit, claim expenses properly, reduce tax legally where possible, and file Self Assessment without last-minute panic.
Who this is for
The problems we see most
Included in your plan
We help you separate income, expenses, tax savings, and real take-home profit so your bank balance stops being the only signal.
Home office and use-of-home costs, software and subscriptions, professional indemnity insurance, training and CPD, travel to client sites, and a fair share of phone and internet — all reviewed so nothing is missed.
You get clear document requests, earlier preparation, and Self Assessment help UK freelancers can understand without jargon.
We help you understand what to set aside, what is due, and how to avoid nasty surprises when the tax bill arrives.
Receipts, software, and records are organised into a routine that supports you through the year instead of only at tax season.
You get clear answers from Aurestone when something changes: new income, a contract, a big expense, or a question about tax.
Tax & MTD responsibilities
Practical experience
Aurestone supports an ongoing caseload of freelance and self-employed clients spanning design, development, writing, marketing, consulting and more. Fluctuating income, mid-year expense questions, and the shift from employed work into self-employment are regular, familiar territory here — not edge cases we're figuring out as we go.
Common questions
Not legally — but most freelancers who use one save more than they pay in fees. We spot allowable expenses you might miss, keep your records clean, and file your return correctly.
Yes. We handle the handover from your previous accountant. You don't need to wait until January or your tax year end.
That's completely normal for freelancers. We'll help you plan for slower months and make sure you're setting aside the right amount for your tax bill.
Common allowable expenses include use of home as an office, software and subscriptions, professional indemnity insurance, equipment, training and CPD, travel to client sites, a fair proportion of phone and internet, and accountancy fees.
You need to register once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000. We'll monitor this and advise you well before you hit the threshold.
It will for many. From April 2026, self-employed freelancers with gross income over £50,000 must keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. That threshold drops to £30,000 from April 2027. We'll tell you when it applies and get your records ready in advance.
