Protect My Contractor Income

We Built Our Practice Around Contractor Needs, Not Corporate Clients

Most accountants treat contractors like any other small business, missing the nuances that determine whether you thrive or barely survive. Contract structures, employment status legislation, expense eligibility, and payment timing require specialised knowledge that general practices simply don’t possess. We’ve spent over a decade exclusively serving independent professionals operating through limited companies. This focus means we recognise warning signs in contracts before you sign them, spot expense opportunities other accountants miss, and structure your finances to withstand HMRC scrutiny. When you work with true specialists, you’re not explaining your business model to someone who usually handles retail shops. You’re partnering with advisors who’ve guided thousands of contractors through identical situations and can predict problems before they materialise.
