Got questions?

Can Crunch help me if I'm an IT consultant?

Yes. Whether you're working independently, juggling several clients, or running your own Limited Company IT consultancy, Crunch can take care of the financial admin behind the scenes. Keep your accounts organised with our software and get access to certified accountants when you need them, so you can spend less time on spreadsheets and more time doing the work your clients actually pay you for.

Do I need an accountant as an IT consultant?

Not necessarily, but an accountant who understands IT consultancy can save you time and help you avoid expensive mistakes. They can help with things like:

  • Tracking income from different clients and projects.
  • Working out your tax and what you should set aside.
  • Identifying allowable business expenses.
  • Keeping your Limited Company accounts and records in order.
  • Filing your Corporation Tax and Self Assessment returns.
  • Understanding VAT and Making Tax Digital.
  • Keeping track of software, hardware and other business costs.
  • Helping you make better financial decisions as your IT consultancy grows.
Can Crunch do my Self Assessment?

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 IT consultancy expenses, your tax bill or Self Assessment deadlines.

Can I track my IT consultancy expenses with Crunch?

Absolutely. Your expenses don't have to become another project. Add them through the Crunch app and snap your receipts as you go, whether you're paying for hosting, replacing a monitor, upgrading your kit or travelling to a client. Everything stays together, ready when you need it.

Can Crunch help me keep track of what I owe in tax?

Yes. Keeping your IT consultancy income and expenses up to date gives you a much clearer picture of your profit and tax position. That means less guesswork when it comes to putting money aside for HMRC. If you're running a Limited Company, your accountant can also help you understand Corporation Tax, salary and dividends.

Can I invoice clients through Crunch?

Absolutely. Send invoices for your IT projects, day rates or ongoing support without building them from scratch every time. Add a payment button so clients can pay online, and let automatic chasers handle the awkward follow-up when an invoice goes unpaid.

What if I have a question about my IT consultancy finances?

Absolutely. Send invoices for your IT projects, day rates or ongoing support without building them from scratch every time. Add a payment button so clients can pay online, and let automatic chasers handle the awkward follow-up when an invoice goes unpaid.

What if I have a question about my IT consultancy finances?

You can speak to a certified accountant whenever you need help. Whether you're wondering if you can claim for a new monitor, how a software subscription should be treated, what your tax bill might look like or how to pay yourself from your Limited Company, you don't have to disappear down a Google rabbit hole to find the answer. Our Limited accounting plans include unlimited access to experts.

Can Crunch help me save tax as an IT consultant?

Absolutely. Our Tax Optimiser helps identify potential tax savings based on your business, including allowable expenses, tax allowances and other opportunities to make your finances more tax-efficient. Limited Company customers see nearly £3,000 in suggested savings on average from these calls.
