Accountants in Salford

For people paid by the project

A huge share of Salford’s workforce now invoices rather than clocks in. Freelancers in production, design and digital around MediaCity, contractors on day rates, and small agencies juggling retainers. Income that arrives unevenly needs an accountant who keeps the tax picture current all year, not one who surfaces every January.

We keep your figures live, tell you what to set aside each month, and make sure the right structure is in place, sole trader or limited company, so you keep more of what you bill.

Limited company or sole trader?

The eternal contractor question, and the answer moves with your day rate, your contracts and the off payroll working rules on each engagement. We look at what you actually have lined up and give you a straight recommendation, then handle the company formation, the accounts and Corporation Tax, the director’s own tax return, and a director payroll that takes salary and dividends in the most sensible mix.

Landlords at the Quays and beyond

Salford’s new build blocks have made a lot of accidental and deliberate landlords. Service charges, mortgage interest relief, furnished lets and the question of holding property in a company all land differently than people expect. Our landlord service and landlord tax guides keep it clean, whether it is one flat or a portfolio.

Also in the toolkit

Self Assessment for sole traders and side incomes, VAT once fees pass the threshold or when registering early makes sense, bookkeeping in cloud software you can see too, and tax planning before year end rather than after it, when it is too late to matter.
