South Bermondsey 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 South Bermondsey?
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 South Bermondsey or anywhere else in South London.
I searched "freelancer accounting near me" — is this service really local to South Bermondsey?
South Bermondsey 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 South Bermondsey town centre or the edge of South 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.
From our inbox: what South Bermondsey businesses ask us
The honest answer changes with your profits. At lower profits, sole trader simplicity usually wins; as profits grow, a limited company's mix of salary and dividends, corporation tax rates and liability protection starts earning its extra admin. We run the actual numbers before recommending either.
HMRC receives data directly from online platforms about sellers' income. If a side hustle has grown past the £1,000 trading allowance, coming forward first is always cheaper than being written to — penalties scale with how the disclosure starts.
The first tax bill is the hardest because it can arrive with payments on account attached — up to 150% of the year's tax in one go. New businesses that save a quarter to a third of profits from day one never feel it.
Changing accountant mid-year is routine: you authorise the new firm, we write a professional clearance letter to the old one, records transfer, and HMRC authorisation moves online. Clients are usually surprised the whole thing needs almost nothing from them.
If you're a sole trader or landlord anywhere near the £50,000 income mark, Making Tax Digital will change your filing rhythm from 2026: four digital updates a year plus a final declaration. Clients who move their records to software early find the transition a non-event.
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.
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.
Compare accountants on the things that bite later: is the fee fixed and written down, what exactly is included, who does the work, how fast do they answer in January. Proximity to South Bermondsey stopped being the differentiator the day filings went electronic.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in South Bermondsey, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
