Bookkeeping for contractors — minimal admin, maximum take-home, fully compliant
Contracting pays best when the admin is light and the records are right. We keep your company bookkeeping current, your expenses claimed and your salary/dividend split clean — so you keep more and worry less.

What we do for you
Bookkeeping for contractors, handled
- Every expense claimed. We capture the travel, subsistence, equipment and home-office costs contractors are entitled to — nothing left on the table.
- Salary & dividends tracked. Your most efficient salary/dividend mix recorded cleanly, with the paperwork to back it up.
- FreeAgent kept current. Your bookkeeping kept live in FreeAgent, with invoices and bank feeds flowing automatically.
- IR35-aware records. Records kept in a way that supports your IR35 position, should it ever be questioned.
Bookkeeping for contractors, done properly
As a contractor working through a limited company, your bookkeeping decides how much you keep and how exposed you are. Missed expenses cost you take-home, and loose records make IR35 and year-end harder than they need to be.
We keep it tight: every transaction reconciled, every allowable expense claimed, your salary and dividends tracked, and your records kept current on FreeAgent — so your numbers are always right and your admin is close to zero.
The headaches we take off your plate
If any of these are eating your time or worrying you, they’re exactly what we take off your plate.
- Allowable expenses you forget to claim
- The 24-month rule on travel and subsistence
- Keeping salary and dividends cleanly separated
- IR35 status and the records to support it
- Invoices and payments to keep on top of
- Wanting take-home up and admin down
Hand it over, and consider it handled
