Comprehensive Accounting Services for Self-Employed Professionals


Our accounting services for self-employed individuals cover all aspects of financial management, designed to make your self-employment journey as seamless as possible. Our core services include:


  • Self-Assessment Tax Return Filing: Filing a self-assessment tax return is a fundamental obligation for the self-employed. We handle the entire process for you, from preparing your tax return to submitting it to HMRC on time, ensuring compliance and accuracy. Our tax experts also guide you on allowable expenses, helping you minimise your tax liability.

  • Business Registration and Setup: Starting as self-employed? We assist with business registration, guiding you through HMRC registration and VAT (if applicable). Whether you're a sole trader or setting up as a partnership, we help you make the right decisions regarding your business structure, ensuring it aligns with your financial goals.

  • Expense Management and Deductions: Self-employed individuals often have many allowable expenses. We help you track and claim these expenses, from travel and advertising to home office costs and equipment purchases. Our goal is to optimise your deductions, so you keep more of your hard-earned money.

  • Bookkeeping and Records Management: Keeping accurate records is essential for the self-employed. We offer comprehensive bookkeeping services, ensuring all income, expenses, and invoices are properly recorded. Our digital tools allow you to easily manage and track your finances, reducing paperwork and providing real-time access to your financial data.

Tax Efficiency and Planning for Self-Employed


Effective tax planning is essential to keeping more of your income. Our tax services for the self-employed are designed to optimise your tax position and ensure full compliance with HMRC:


  • Tax Deduction Strategies: Our accountants identify all eligible deductions, including business travel, insurance, software subscriptions, and use of home as an office. By maximising deductions, we reduce your taxable income, allowing you to retain more revenue.

  • National Insurance and PAYE Guidance: Understanding National Insurance (NI) contributions and PAYE requirements can be complex. We advise you on your NI obligations, helping you set up regular payments and avoid penalties. For those with additional employees, we offer PAYE setup and management.

  • Quarterly Tax Payments and Budgeting: Many self-employed individuals must make tax payments twice a year through payments on account. We help you budget and prepare for these quarterly payments, ensuring you have adequate funds set aside, so tax season is stress-free.

  • Making Tax Digital (MTD) Compliance: As the UK tax system moves to digital, we assist self-employed professionals in adopting digital accounting solutions that comply with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital requirements. Our digital tools make it easy to maintain accurate records, helping you stay compliant and organised.


Financial Planning and Growth Support for Self-Employed Professionals


Being self-employed means your financial world can change quickly. At Griffith Accountants, we provide strategic planning and advisory services tailored to freelancers, contractors, and sole traders, helping you plan for growth and financial stability.


  • Cash Flow Management and Budgeting: Cash flow can fluctuate for the self-employed, especially in industries with seasonal demand. We help you create cash flow forecasts, develop budgets, and set aside emergency funds, ensuring your business remains resilient and financially stable.

  • Retirement and Pension Planning: Self-employed individuals often overlook retirement planning. We provide guidance on setting up self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs) and other pension options, ensuring you’re prepared for the future while benefiting from potential tax reliefs.

  • Business Expansion and Investment Advice: For those looking to expand, we offer advice on investments, financing, and budgeting for growth. Our team helps you plan for increased expenses, additional resources, or new revenue streams, ensuring your business grows sustainably.

  • Support for Additional Income Sources: Many self-employed individuals have multiple income streams, from freelance gigs to part-time work or property income. We help you manage and report all income sources, ensuring each is accounted for in your tax returns.
