Got questions?
Absolutely. Whether you're an independent recruiter, running a recruitment consultancy or working through a Limited Company, Crunch can take care of the financial admin behind your business. Manage your accounts through our software and get access to certified accountants when you need help with tax, expenses or your company finances.
Not necessarily, but an accountant who understands contracting can save you time and help you avoid expensive mistakes. They can help with things like:
- Keeping track of placement fees and business income.
- Identifying allowable recruitment business expenses.
- Working out your tax and what you should set aside.
- Managing salary, dividends and your take-home pay.
- Keeping your Limited Company accounts and records in order.
- Filing your Corporation Tax and Self Assessment returns.
- Keeping up with VAT, Making Tax Digital and other tax rules.
- Helping you make better financial decisions as your consultancy 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. So you can spend less time wrestling with your tax return and more time winning clients and making placements. You can also ask your accountant questions about expenses, your tax bill or what you owe HMRC.
Absolutely. Record your business expenses through the Crunch app and snap photos of your receipts as you go. Whether it's mileage to a client meeting, travel to a networking event, recruitment software or professional subscriptions, you can keep costs organised and easily accessible. Not sure if you can claim for a specific expense? Our accountants are always there to talk through your questions and help you make sure you're not overpaying on your tax bill.
Yes. Keeping your placement income and expenses up to date gives you a clearer picture of your profit and tax position. If you're running your recruitment consultancy through a Limited Company, our accountants can also help you understand Corporation Tax, salary, dividends and how much you should be setting aside for HMRC.
Of course. Turn a successful placement into an invoice in just a few clicks, with professional, customisable invoices for your recruitment fees. Add a payment button to make getting paid easier, and let automatic chasers handle the awkward follow-up when a client hasn’t paid.
