Let Bright Ideas Accountancy simplify your finances

You have to juggle many functions as a freelancer – operations, business development, marketing, to name a few – but one that causes more of a headache than most is self-employed bookkeeping. No one wants to do it, but it’s necessary in order to enjoy the financial rewards and flexibility of working for yourself.

But do your finances work for you as well as they could? We understand that you don’t have much time to find out, especially if you’re working a job alongside freelancing. That’s why we’ll help you deal with tax, maximise your take-home pay, and take the related responsibilities off your shoulders.

Our freelancer accounting services include providing tax advice, identifying expenses you can claim for, and filing the tax return. Sole trader or limited company – we cover both bases. You can hand the difficult tasks to us, so you can focus on your passion.

    I'm a new business owner and BI Accountancy has walked me through the minefield of accountancy every step of the way. You are assigned a single point of contact and (in my case) they are very responsive to your questions and incredibly helpful. Recommended.

    They did an excellent job handling all the accounts for my company. The team is professional and efficient, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. A special mention to Millie McGaughey, who always responded quickly and took care of all issues. She was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
