Contractor accountants
for limited companies.
Online across the UK, or in person if you’re near Oswestry. Accounts, tax, payroll and IR35 for contractors and consultants who run their own limited company — one accountant who actually answers, and a fixed monthly fee agreed up front.
What Finstem does for a contractor 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 contractors.
Q1Do I need to be near you?
No. Finstem works with contractors across the UK on cloud accounting software, with video calls and same-person support. If you’re near Oswestry we can meet in person, but nothing about the service depends on it.
Q2Can you handle IR35?
Yes. Finstem reviews your contracts and working practices, helps you understand your IR35 position, and keeps the evidence in order. Where a contract falls inside IR35, the payroll and tax are handled correctly too.
Q3I’m leaving an online accountant I can never get hold of. Is switching a hassle?
No. One email from you. Finstem requests professional clearance and your records, sets up the software and HMRC authorisations, and confirms every filing date — usually within two to three weeks. And you deal with the same person every time.
Q4How should I pay myself — salary or dividends?
It depends on your company’s profit and your own circumstances. Finstem reviews the salary and dividend split with you before the year end, while it can still change the tax, and confirms the figures in writing.
Online across the UK.
In person if you’re nearby.
Most contractors 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 — the personal service most online providers can’t offer. 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
Pay, dividends and capital spending reviewed while they can still change the bill.

“Always available when you need him, advice is really good. Helped my start-up business perfectly — wouldn’t have been able to do half the stuff if he wasn’t so attentive and helpful.”
