Got questions?

Can Crunch help me with accounting for photographers?

Yes. Whether you're shooting weddings, events, portraits, commercial work or a mix of different photography services, Crunch can take care of the financial admin behind your business. Our accounting software for photographers helps you keep your accounts organised, with access to certified accountants when you need them.

Do I need an accountant for my photography business?

Not necessarily, but an accountant for photographers can save you time and help you avoid expensive mistakes. From tracking income and expenses to working out your tax and keeping your accounts in order, the right photography accountant can help take care of the numbers behind your business.

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 and helping make sure you don't miss available tax reliefs. You can also ask your accountant questions about photography business expenses, your tax bill or Self Assessment deadlines.

Can I track my photography business expenses with Crunch?

Absolutely. Photography accounting means keeping track of all the costs involved in running your business, from camera equipment and editing software to travel and studio hire. Add expenses through the Crunch app and snap your receipts as you go, keeping everything together for your accounts and tax return.

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

Yes. Keeping your photography income and expenses up to date gives you a 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.

Can I invoice clients through Crunch?

Absolutely. Send invoices for weddings, shoots, events and other photography work without starting 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 photography accounting?

Absolutely. Send invoices for weddings, shoots, events and other photography work without starting 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 photography accounting?

That's what your accountant is there for. Whether you're unsure if you can claim for photography equipment, how to treat a software subscription, what you'll owe HMRC or how to pay yourself, you can ask a certified accountant and get a clear answer. Our Limited accounting plans include unlimited access to expert support.

Can Crunch help me save tax as a photographer?

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

What expenses can photographers claim?

It depends on how you run your photography business and what the expense is for. Common allowable expenses can include photography equipment, software, professional subscriptions, business insurance, travel and other costs incurred wholly and exclusively for your business. Keeping good records means you can claim what you're entitled to and avoid paying more tax than you need to.

How do I pay myself from my photography business?

If you run your photography business 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 photography accountant can help you understand your options and decide how to pay yourself.
