While it’s not mandatory to hire an accountant when you’re starting out as a freelancer, having one can make a big difference. A freelance accountant can help you set up your finances properly from day one — tracking income and expenses, managing tax obligations, and ensuring you stay compliant with HMRC rules.

If your workload is small, you can manage basic bookkeeping yourself, but as your freelancing business grows, professional accounting support can save you valuable time, reduce tax errors, and help you plan for future growth.

Yes, OneTeam Accountants offers a fully online service for managing all your taxes and accounts. From bookkeeping and payroll to VAT returns and self-assessments, everything can be handled securely through our cloud-based systems.

You can share documents, review reports, and communicate with your accountant from anywhere — no need for in-person meetings. Our digital process ensures your financial data is accurate, up to date, and compliant with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements.

At OneTeam Accountants, our freelance accounting fees are simple, transparent, and flexible. We offer fixed-price packages based on the level of support you need — whether it’s bookkeeping, tax returns, or full financial management. This means you only pay for the services that fit your freelancing business.

Our fees can be billed monthly or annually, making it easier to manage your budget. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your specific requirements and provide a clear quote — with no hidden charges or surprises.
