Accountants for consultants
and their companies.
For management, IT and independent consultants who run their own limited company. Accounts, tax, payroll, IR35 and the salary and dividend split — one accountant who actually answers, online across the UK or in person near Oswestry.
What Finstem does for a consultancy company.
Year-end accounts
Statutory accounts prepared from the bookkeeping, reviewed with you, and filed at Companies House on time.
Corporation tax
The computation and the CT600 from the same figures, with the payment date confirmed in writing.
Bookkeeping
Bank feeds reconciled through the year so the numbers are current when a decision needs them.
Tax planning
Pay, dividends and capital spending reviewed before the year end, while they can still change the bill.
Questions from consultants.
Q1I work for several clients — anything to watch?
Mainly VAT and cash flow. Once your turnover nears the VAT threshold, registration matters; Finstem watches the rolling total and handles the registration and returns when the time comes.
Q2Does IR35 apply to me?
It can, where you work like an employee of one client. Finstem reviews your contracts and working practices, helps you understand your position, and handles the tax correctly whichever side of IR35 a contract falls.
Q3I invoice clients overseas. Is that a problem?
No. Overseas sales are common for consultants and have their own VAT treatment. Finstem sets the bookkeeping up to handle them and confirms the position on each return.
Q4What does switching involve?
One email from you. Finstem requests professional clearance and your records, sets up the software and the HMRC authorisations, and confirms every filing date. Two to three weeks.
Online across the UK.
In person if you’re nearby.
Most clients never need to visit. Your records live in cloud accounting software, we talk by phone or video, and you deal with one accountant who replies within one working day. If you’re near Oswestry, meetings in person are there when you want them.
- Works anywhere in the UK — cloud software, online meetings, same-day replies
- Switching from another accountant takes one email
- You deal with the same accountant every time — not a queue
Year-end accounts and the CT600
Accounts and the return prepared from the same figures, reviewed with you, and filed.
VAT across mixed income
Each income stream checked for its VAT treatment when the company is taken on, and again on every return.
Tax planning before the year end
