Why Accountants Are Essential To Your Freelance Success
As a budget-conscious freelancer you may be put off by the cost of hiring a professional accountant. You might see financial management as one of the tasks that fall within your freelance workload. However, you have the opportunity to relieve some of the pressure, saving time and money for investment in the growth of your freelance business in hiring an accountant. Keep on reading as we highlight the reasons why it makes perfect sense to outsource your financial duties.
Saving You Time
From initial registration with HMRC, to the processing of monthly accounts, there are a variety of financial duties that can consume your freelance time. However, you could free yourself up to focus on what you do best if you enlist the support of a dedicated accountant. This could well result in the increase of your freelance earnings, so that you have more to spend on the activities that you enjoy.
You may be understandably concerned about the introduction of Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax, which is scheduled for 6 April 2023. The roll-out of this initative will mean that there’s even more pressure to submit your accounts electronically to HMRC each quarter. So it really does make sense to hire an accountant for peace of mind when the MTD becomes compulsory. The good news is that Appleleaf Accountancy can take all this work off your hands.
Easing the Freelance Burden
Given the ever-changing HMRC rules and costly impacts of failing to meet your financial obligations it’s little wonder that the management of freelance finances can have an anxiety-inducing effect. However, you can have confidence in the accountants when it comes to the avoidance of costly mistakes and correct calculation of your financial obligations. At Appleleaf Accountancy we can support you in everything from the preparation of accounts to tax planning and IR35 management.
