Yes. Whether you're a self-employed electrician working on domestic jobs, taking on commercial work, or running a larger electrical business, Crunch can help you manage the financial side without adding more paperwork to your day. You can manage your accounts through smart software, whether at a desk or on the go with our handy app. Then we have a certified accountant there when you need to speak to an expert.

Not necessarily, but having an accountant as an electrician can make your life a lot easier. They can take care of the bookkeeping, tax and financial admin that comes with running an electrical business. A trade accountant can help with:

• Tracking income and expenses from different electrical jobs and projects.
• Identifying allowable business expenses, including tools, equipment, materials, fuel and vehicle costs.
• Calculating your tax and helping you plan for your tax bill.
• Preparing and filing your Self Assessment tax return.
• Managing CIS if you work with subcontractors.
• Understanding VAT and your VAT responsibilities.
• Advising on the best structure for your electrical business as it grows.

Of course. Our dedicated Self Assessment service means a certified accountant can prepare and file your tax return for you. Most of our accounting plans also include a Self Assessment tax return, giving you expert oversight to help avoid costly mistakes and make sure you don't miss available tax reliefs. You can also ask your accountant questions about expenses, your tax bill or Self Assessment deadlines.

Absolutely. Record expenses through the Crunch app and snap photos of your receipts as you go, whether you've bought testing equipment, replaced a power tool or filled up the van. Everything stays together, rather than leaving you with a pile of receipts to sort through later.
