Professional Services Accountants

Professional services

Your time is billable. Your accountant's should be too.

Professional services firms have a specific set of accounting needs: tracking billable hours, managing WIP (work in progress), optimising director salary/dividend mix, and for many, navigating IR35. What they don't need is an accountant who bills by the 6-minute unit.

We work with consultancies, marketing agencies, IT contractors, coaches and creative studios across the East Midlands. One fixed monthly fee covers absolutely everything, including the quick phone calls when something comes up mid-project.

Sound familiar?

Most businesses don't have an accountant.
They have a filing service.

If any of these ring true, you're not getting what you should be.

01

You only hear from them at year-end

No check-ins, no planning, no conversation. Just a bill and a set of accounts you don't fully understand.

02

You're never sure where you stand

Your numbers are months out of date. You're making decisions based on gut feel, not real figures.

03

Surprise invoices keep landing

An email here, a phone call there — and suddenly your bill is twice what you expected. No one told you.

Common questions

Things people ask us.

How is this different from a general limited company service?

Honestly, the underlying service is the same — we use the same fixed-fee model and the same proactive approach. What's different is we understand the cash flow pattern of a project-based business (feast and famine), and we help you plan for it.

Do you work with IT contractors specifically?

Yes. IT contractors are a big part of our client base. We handle IR35 assessments, expense optimisation, pension contributions, and everything else that makes the difference between paying 20% effective tax and 45%.

Can you help me set up a pension as a company director?

Yes. Employer pension contributions are one of the most underused tax-efficient strategies for limited company directors. We can introduce you to IFAs we trust, and handle the accounting side.
