Why Software Developers Need A Specialist Accountant

Many developers work through limited companies or umbrella structures, and each option carries very different tax implications. Understanding your IR35 status is essential, since getting it wrong can lead to unexpected tax bills further down the line. Day rate contracts and multiple clients also make record-keeping more complex than most general accountants are used to. On top of this, developers often claim for equipment, software licences and home office costs, all of which need to be tracked correctly. A specialist accountant keeps you compliant while helping you keep more of what you earn, rather than leaving money on the table.

Accounting Services For Developers

Our accountancy package is designed specifically around contract-based tech work. Instead of generic advice, you get support that’s built for the way developers actually operate, including:

  • IR35 status reviews and contract assessments
  • Limited company formation and set-up
  • Corporation tax returns and annual accounts
  • Expense guidance for equipment and software subscriptions
  • Unlimited access to FreeAgent cloud accounting

Every service is included in one simple, fixed monthly fee, so there are never any surprise bills waiting for you at year end.
