We help make it simple...

Contractors and Freelance ServicesFor 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. Here at Carpenter Box, we work hard to make your life easier. Our aim is to provide simple accounting - we remove the worry, so you have more time to do the things that are important (a smaller tax bill would be nice too!)

We offer the simplicity of an online accountancy system combined with the client care & expertise of a full-service firm.


Specialist knowledge…

At Carpenter Box we have the expertise to help with the financial and legal aspects of starting and successfully managing your freelance business. Our team is especially knowledgeable in providing tax solutions - from helping make your tax payments smaller to sorting out VAT when working abroad.

We offer a great service, which we think is pretty unique:

  • Excellent client care - always someone here to answer your calls and emails instantly
  • Simple online accounting package - FreeAgent - which our clients love! It enables you to see how well you are performing, produce invoices and chase outstanding debtors
