Freelancer
accountants.
For freelancers who run a limited company, or are weighing up whether to. Accounts, tax, the salary and dividend split and straight answers on whether going limited is worth it — one accountant who answers, online across the UK.
What Finstem does for a freelance 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 freelancers.
Q1Should I be a limited company or stay a sole trader?
It depends on your profit, your clients and your plans. Finstem gives you a straight answer for your situation — a limited company brings tax planning and protection but more admin, and it isn’t right for everyone. Finstem acts for freelancers who trade through a limited company.
Q2I’ve never run a company before. Is it a lot to learn?
No — that’s the point of having an accountant. Finstem sets up the software, handles the accounts, tax and any payroll, and tells you what to put aside and when. You get on with the work.
Q3Do I need to be near you?
No. Finstem works with freelancers across the UK on cloud software, with online meetings and same-person support. If you’re near Oswestry, meetings in person are there when you want them.
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

VAT across mixed income
Each income stream checked for its VAT treatment when the company is taken on, and again on every return.
