Online accountants vs the high street
Traditional firms around South East 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 Woolwich pays the same as everywhere else.
There's no office to fund in Woolwich 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.

Woolwich 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 Woolwich?
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 Woolwich or anywhere else in South East London.
I searched "freelancer accounting near me" — is this service really local to Woolwich?
Woolwich 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 Woolwich town centre or the edge of South East 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 Woolwich businesses ask us
The first hire brings PAYE registration, Real Time Information submissions every payday, workplace pension auto-enrolment and payslips that must be right. It's all completely manageable — as a monthly routine run by software, not a monthly crisis.
Most HMRC letters are routine — a statement, a code change, a reminder. The rule is simple: never ignore one, and never panic over one. Forwarded to your accountant the day it arrives, almost every letter is a five-minute job.
The best salary-dividend mix moves with each year's thresholds and your other income. Setting it once in April — rather than guessing through the year — is one of the simplest pieces of planning a director can do.
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.
Plenty of people incorporate too early because it "sounds established", then pay for accounts, confirmation statements and payroll they didn't need. The switch pays for itself at the right profit level — the trick is knowing yours.
Status under IR35 turns on the reality of the engagement: control, substitution, mutuality of obligation. Contracts matter, but working practices matter more. A written status assessment for each engagement is cheap insurance.
MTD for Income Tax starts with the £50,000+ income group in April 2026, with lower bands following. Quarterly digital updates sound worse than they are — with software doing the bookkeeping, the quarters largely take care of themselves.
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.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Woolwich, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
