Recommended Posts

Hi all


Can you recommend a great accountant that can help me set up as a self employee, working from home. Having been PAYE for the last 15 years I've been offered full time freelance work and need to know what I need to do to make the most of my money.


- How I set myself up

- What I need to set aside for the taxman +NI

- what I can claim for etc.


Can you suggest anyone?


Really appreciate this x

Ryedalema,


I work from offices on Upland Road. You can read testimonials, recommendations and endorsements on my linked in profile

I provide accountancy services and related tax advice to the self employed and the initial meeting is free.

Hi Ryedalema,


Like you I was PAYE for many years before going freelance.


Have you tried the HMRC free half day sessions for the newly self employed? And lots of resources on line. It's pretty basic, but I found them useful. It's not the most exciting afternoons I've ever spent, but useful.

Also, WHSmith do a pack you can download or buy from the shop in Rye Lane.


My accounts seem to be fairly straightforward so I've not used an accountant, though I probably should work out the time I spent doing accounts vs paying someone to do it.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
