Every filing date that applies to you goes in our diary the day you join — and we chase the records, not the other way round.

Online accountants vs the high street
Traditional firms around East London still run on hourly billing, office appointments and fees you discover after the work. We built the opposite: written fixed fees agreed up front, unlimited questions inside the price, and a fully online workflow — no premises anywhere, so no premises priced into your fee in Stratford City.
There's no office to fund in Stratford City 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.

The same service in Stratford City as anywhere — by design

London clients in Stratford City tend to arrive with more moving parts — employment plus side income, shares, property. That's fine: the fixed quote covers your actual situation, agreed before we start, however many supplementary pages it needs.

Stratford City 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 Stratford City?
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 Stratford City or anywhere else in East London.
I searched "contractor accounting near me" — is this service really local to Stratford City?
Stratford City 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 Stratford City town centre or the edge of East 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 Stratford City clients ask about most
HMRC runs nudge-letter campaigns to crypto holders based on exchange data. If there are undeclared gains in past years, a voluntary disclosure is dramatically cheaper than waiting for the letter — penalties are scaled to cooperation.
If your last Self Assessment bill was over £1,000, HMRC usually asks for next year's tax in advance — half on 31 January, half on 31 July. It's the number-one cause of "why is my bill double?" calls, and it's manageable: if your income has dropped, the payments can be reduced with a claim.
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.
The best time to switch is after a filing, but it works at any point in the year. What matters is not letting a looming deadline stop you: a new firm can usually pick up an in-flight year faster than you'd think.
The tax-free dividend allowance is down to £500, so almost any director taking dividends now pays some dividend tax — and needs a Self Assessment return to report it. The classic small-salary-plus-dividends strategy still works; it just needs actual planning rather than folklore.
Selling online, freelancing on the side, renting out equipment — each can be a "trade" in HMRC's eyes once it's done with a profit motive. The good news: registering is straightforward, expenses become claimable, and done early it's a non-event.
Some businesses register for VAT before they must — reclaiming input VAT can be worth it if your customers are VAT-registered themselves. Others should stay below deliberately. It's a real decision with real numbers, not a formality.
Limited companies in CIS reclaim differently to sole traders — through payroll or the company tax return rather than Self Assessment. Plenty of construction companies sit on refundable deductions without realising; a quick review of the CIS position often pays for itself immediately.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Stratford City, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
