Online accountants vs the high street
Traditional firms around Central London still run on hourly billing, office appointments and fees you discover after the work. Our model inverts that: the fee is fixed and written down before work begins, questions are part of the service rather than billable events, and everything happens online — the reason Castle Baynard pays the same as everywhere else.
There's no office to fund in Castle Baynard and no office to visit: records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, approvals happen on your phone, and filings go to HMRC and Companies House electronically. You get the same qualified work — minus the overheads, the travel and the surprises on the invoice.

Castle Baynard contractor accountants FAQs
How does IR35 affect me?
If a contract is 'inside IR35', tax is broadly like employment; outside, you keep the company's flexibility on salary and dividends. Since the off-payroll rules, medium and large clients determine status — but the risk and planning still land on you. We review contracts and working practices so you know where each engagement stands.
What's the most tax-efficient way to pay myself?
Typically a modest salary (keeping NI credits) plus dividends from post-tax profits, reviewed each April as thresholds move. It depends on your other income and pension plans — the review is included in every package.
Can I switch accountants mid-contract?
Yes, any time. We handle professional clearance with your current accountant and take over the records — most switches complete within two weeks with nothing for your agency or client to notice.
Do I need to visit an office in Castle Baynard?
No — there's nothing to visit and nothing to print. We're an online firm: records go through our secure portal or WhatsApp, and everything is filed electronically. It works the same whether you're in Castle Baynard or anywhere else in Central London.
I searched "contractor accounting near me" — is this service really local to Castle Baynard?
Castle Baynard is fully covered, yes. The work is done online, which in practice means more local than an office: same-day replies instead of appointment slots, and the same published fixed fee whether you're in Castle Baynard town centre or the edge of Central London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my contractor accounting?
Bohzo Accountants — a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, a registered UK company (No. 15031604). You get a named contact, a fixed fee in writing, and nothing is filed until you've reviewed and approved it.
How do your fixed fees work?
You tell us your situation, we quote one fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that price never changes mid-job. If your case is unusually complex we'll say so up front and agree a different fixed price — but the fee is always agreed before we begin, never after.
Tax notes our Castle Baynard clients ask about most
HMRC requires records to be kept for at least five years after the filing deadline for the self-employed. Digital copies count. A cloud folder or app now beats a carrier bag of paper every time — for you and for any future enquiry.
The £90,000 VAT threshold is measured over any 12-month rolling window, so a strong few months can tip you over mid-year. There's a 30-day window to register once you cross it; miss that and HMRC can backdate the liability to when you should have registered.
CIS deduction statements go missing constantly — contractors change, emails vanish. HMRC's records can fill some gaps, but the fastest refunds belong to subcontractors who keep every monthly statement. If you're in construction around Castle Baynard, that one habit is worth real money.
Can't pay the bill by the deadline? File anyway. Filing and payment are penalised separately, and HMRC's Time to Pay arrangements can spread the bill — but only once the return is in. Not filing because you can't pay turns one problem into two.
A limited company juggles two regulators: Companies House wants accounts within nine months of year end, HMRC wants corporation tax paid at nine months and a day. Same starting point, different documents — and late filing penalties at Companies House escalate automatically and are rarely cancelled.
First-year traders around Castle Baynard tend to make the same three mistakes: registering late, mixing business and personal spending in one account, and saving nothing for the first tax bill. All three are avoidable in an afternoon of setup.
Filing early doesn't mean paying early: submit a return in May and the tax is still not due until the usual dates. Early filing buys certainty, refund speed and time to arrange payment — it costs nothing.
If you contract through your own limited company, IR35 asks whether you'd be an employee without it. For medium and large clients, the status decision is theirs; for small clients, it's still yours — and getting it wrong in either direction costs money.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Castle Baynard, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
