Accounting Services for Self-employed Professionals

Whether you work in social care, IT, engineering or another industry, if you’re a self-employed professional, you probably provide your expertise to more than one client at a time. The flexibility and variety of working on different projects and with different businesses can be a major draw for many professionals, consultants and freelancers. While working this way can offer great benefits in terms of job satisfaction and financial rewards, keeping on top of the administration involved and ensuring you stay compliant with legislation at all times is not so enticing.

This is where Brookson One comes in. We offer accounting services for self-employed professionals that you can rely on.

How do you want to work?

Identifying the best way of working is often the biggest step on the road to self-employment. Many professionals choose to form their own business, working as a sole trader or setting up their own limited company, but this isn’t right for everyone. Plenty of others decide they’d rather join an umbrella company or get paid directly through a recruitment agency.

Often, making this decision is a question of balancing the risk and responsibilities you’re willing to take on. Some options will have lower operating costs than others, but they may also offer less protection if things go wrong.

Our free guide to choosing your working options is a good place to start. It’s full of useful insights into running your own business, however you decide to go about it, and it also explains how Brookson One can help you stay on top of your accounts.
