We work the other way round: one fixed fee agreed in writing before anything starts, every question included, and the whole engagement handled online — which is exactly why we can serve New Southgate at fees a walk-in office can't match.

New Southgate freelancer accountants FAQs
How much should I set aside for tax?
A useful rule of thumb is 25–30% of profit for basic-rate sole traders (income tax plus Class 4 NI), more if you're into higher rate. We replace the rule of thumb with your actual number, updated quarterly.
Can I claim my home office?
Yes — either HMRC's flat rate or a calculated share of household costs based on rooms and hours worked. For most full-time freelancers the calculated method claims meaningfully more; we work out which wins for you.
Should I go limited?
Usually worth considering from around £30,000–£40,000 profit, or earlier if clients require it or liability matters. Our Ltd vs sole trader calculator gives a first estimate, and the starter session works through your specific situation.
Do I need to visit an office in New Southgate?
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 New Southgate or anywhere else in North London.
I searched "freelancer accounting near me" — is this service really local to New Southgate?
New Southgate 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 New Southgate town centre or the edge of North London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my freelancer 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 New Southgate clients ask about most
Every year a wave of returns gets filed in the final days of January. It works, but it's the most expensive way to do it: no time to check for missed reliefs, and any tax due lands as one surprise. Sending your records early — even unsorted — is the single best gift you can give your January self.
Timing disposals across tax years, using losses properly, and the spousal transfer rules can all legitimately reduce capital gains bills — but only before the sale. CGT planning after completion is just arithmetic.
Dividends can only be paid from accumulated profits, and paperwork matters: board minutes and dividend vouchers, dated correctly. "Illegal dividends" isn't dramatic language — overdrawn payments can be reclassified, with tax consequences, if the profits weren't there.
First-year traders around New Southgate 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.
Incorporation isn't a milestone, it's a calculation: corporation tax versus income tax and NICs, dividend taxation, what you need to draw versus what can stay in the company, and whether limited liability matters for your work. For some New Southgate businesses it saves thousands; for others it's pure extra paperwork.
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.
Selling a rental property triggers capital gains tax with a tight reporting window — UK residential sales must be reported and the tax paid within 60 days of completion. It's one of the easiest deadlines in the whole system to miss, and one of the most penalised.
People stay with the wrong accountant for years because switching feels disruptive. In practice the profession has a standard handover process — clearance letters, copies of prior returns and working papers — and the new firm drives it, not you.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in New Southgate, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
