Contractors and Freelance Services


We help make it simple...

For many contractors and freelancers time is of the essence. Therefore the less time you spend worrying about your accounts the better – for you and your business. At Carpenter Box we have the expertise and skill to help with the financial and legal aspects of starting and successfully managing your freelance business. Our experience in the sector means we understand the challenges you face and can provide proactive and timely advice enabling you to focus on taking the business forward.


Specialist knowledge…

Our team of specialists are PCG accredited, meaning we adhere to strict guidelines put in place by your professional association. This demonstrates that we are more than able to meet the technical needs of freelance consultants and contractors, we keep up-to-date with any rulings or legislative changes that could affect you and your business, and are dedicated to providing a quality service with specialist knowledge. Our services include:

  • Help with setting up a limited company - We can manage your firm's day-to-day administrative tasks such as payroll, VAT and expenses claims
  • Year-end accounts and tax returns - along with your personal tax return if needed
  • Self-employment services - where there are advantages in being self-employed we will help you set-up & advise on National Insurance
  • IR35 status reviews - The IR35 regulations brought in the notion of "deemed employment", which is a situation in which PAYE tax must be applied even if you are being paid for the work via your own limited company. We will look at your contracts to help you understand your IR35 employment status
  • Wealth management - CBWM offer independent financial advice. Our specialist expertise in tax strategy combined with leading market insight, means that the service we offer is unique
