Accountants for Consultants & Professional Services
Your expertise is your business. We’ll help you make the numbers work.
When your business is built around your knowledge, skills and experience, the finances can look relatively simple from the outside. But as the business develops, decisions about tax, structure, pricing, income and growth can become increasingly important.
At Counted, we work with consultants and professional service businesses, providing straightforward accountancy, tax and financial support that helps you understand where your business stands and where it could go next.
Accountancy that works around your business
You don't need accountancy to become another job. You need the essentials taken care of and clear advice when you need it.
We can support you with:
Annual accounts and tax returns
Corporation Tax
VAT registration and returns
Payroll and workplace pensions
Management accounts and financial reporting
Company secretarial support
Accounting systems and processes
Cash flow and financial planning
Business and financial advice
We'll help you stay on top of your responsibilities while making sure you understand the numbers behind your business.
We understand expertise-led businesses
Consultancy and professional service businesses come in many forms.
You might work independently, operate through a limited company, work with other consultants or subcontractors, employ a small team or be developing a larger consultancy.
Your income might come from individual projects, retainers, longer-term contracts or a mixture of all three.
We'll take the time to understand how your business actually works, rather than trying to fit it into a standard template.
Turning expertise into a sustainable business
Being good at what you do doesn't automatically make running the business straightforward.
Pricing your work, managing irregular income, understanding profitability, planning for tax and deciding when to take on additional people can all become more important as the business develops.
We can help you understand the financial implications of those decisions and give you a clearer picture of what your business needs to generate to support the way you want to work.
Already established?
If your consultancy or professional service business is already established and you're looking for a new accountant, we'll start by understanding how you work and what you need from us.
We'll also help make the transition from your existing accountant as straightforward as possible.
Starting your own consultancy?
Moving into consultancy can mean going from receiving a regular salary to being responsible for everything from pricing and cash flow to tax and record keeping.
We can help you understand your options, choose an appropriate business structure and put the financial foundations in place from the beginning.
Your business has a story. Let's make sure the numbers support it.
