How our contractor accounting services will help you

Expert support from contractor accountants

We understand the stresses that come with contractor accounting, and it’s our priority to make sure that you get professional advice that’s tailored to your business.

As specialist online accountants for contractors, we’ll provide you with the bookkeeping platform, FreeAgent, for free.

We also guarantee a highly personalised 1-to-1 support service through our dedicated Account Managers. That’s just a few of the ways we help contractors like yourself to get more from their finances.

Thorough, accurate and consistent finance management

Managing contractor finances can be complicated work, we get that. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Our accountants provide industry knowledge and first-class accounting for contractors.

As a 100% cloud-based practice, we offer 24/7 mobile access to your accounts. This allows us to deliver quick and reliable contractor bookkeeping and accounting services.

Alongside these, our packages provide unlimited face-to-face meetings and regular bookkeeping health checks – all designed to simplify things.

We’re reliable accountants for contractors in the UK with a proven track record of improving our clients’ finance management…

  • After trying two other accountancy firms, which made my start in running a business MORE difficult than it needed to be, I am very pleased with the advice and support provided by BI Accountancy. I get very prompt responses to queries, with good explanations, that I have confidence in.

    Kate FarleyContinuous Delivery Ltd.

  • Michael and the BI team initially restructured my Freeagent account to get things in order. They also taught me how to properly utilise the software. Since then they have been responsive and proactive. Can’t recommend them enough.
