GoForma, particularly Jordan Macey from GoForma, have been fantastic from the moment I have been with them. Consistently taking the time to provide the highest standard of advice. They have even continued with their fantastic service when due to financial difficulties I had to pause payment.

Consultant Accountant FAQs

Everything you need to know about consultant accounting. Can't find the answer?

Contact us

  • Whats the best company structure for consultants?

    For most UK consultants, setting up a limited company offers the best combination of tax efficiency, credibility, and control over finances. It allows you to pay yourself through a mix of salary and dividends, potentially reducing your overall tax liability.

    However, in some cases (like short-term contracts or low earnings), operating as a sole trader may be simpler. We’ll help you choose the right structure based on your goals, income, and industry.

  • How does IR35 effect my consulting work?

    IR35 is a set of tax rules that determines whether you're working as a genuine business or effectively as an employee of your client. If you're inside IR35, you may have to pay more tax and National Insurance.

    We offer contract reviews, IR35 assessments, and personalised guidance to help you stay compliant and understand your financial position—whether you work through an umbrella company or your own limited company.

  • Do you help with FreeAgent set up and training?

    Yes – FreeAgent is included at no extra cost with our service, and we’ll help you get up and running from day one. That includes:

    • Full software setup
    • Linking your bank feeds
    • Invoicing and expense tracking walkthroughs
    • Ongoing support from accountants who actually know how to use it

    Whether you’re new to FreeAgent or switching from another tool, we’ll guide you step-by-step.

  • Can I switch to you mid-year?

    Absolutely – and we make it easy. If you're already trading and want to move from another accountant, we’ll:

    • Contact your previous provider
    • Request all the necessary records
    • Handle the transition with zero disruption to your business

    You can switch at any point in the financial year – we’ll ensure nothing is missed and all deadlines are covered.

  • Is your support ongoing or just annual?

    Our support is unlimited and year-round. You’ll get a dedicated accountant you can contact any time – not just when it’s time to file.

    Whether you need advice on a new contract, help with bookkeeping, or clarification on HMRC rules, we're here whenever you need us – by phone, WhatsApp, email, or live chat.
