Yes. Whether you're working independently, juggling several clients, or running your own Limited Company 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 focusing on your clients.

Not necessarily, but an accountant 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 your business costs.
• 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. You can also ask your accountant questions about your consultancy expenses, tax bill or Self Assessment deadlines.

Absolutely. Your expenses don't have to become another job on the to-do list. Add them through the Crunch app and snap your receipts as you go, whether you're travelling to meet a client, paying for professional subscriptions or covering other business costs. Everything stays together, ready when you need it.

Yes. Keeping your 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. Including how to take the most tax-efficient salary for your situation.

Absolutely. Send invoices for your consultancy work 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.

That's what your accountant is there for. Whether you're unsure what you can claim as an expense, how to pay yourself, what you'll owe HMRC or whether VAT applies to your work, you can ask a certified accountant and get a clear answer. Our Limited accounting plans give you unlimited access to expert support, so you don't have to figure it all out yourself.

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.

It depends on what you need to run your consultancy. Common allowable expenses can include professional subscriptions, software, business insurance, travel and other costs incurred wholly and exclusively for your business. Keeping track of them means you can claim what you're entitled to and avoid paying more tax than you need to.

If you run your consultancy through a Limited Company, there are a few ways to take money out of the business, including salary and dividends. The most tax-efficient approach depends on your circumstances. A Crunch accountant can help you understand your options and decide how to pay yourself.
