Specialist FreeAgent Accountant for UK Limited Companies - Gold Partner

Choosing an accountant is a big decision. While any firm can handle your books, our expertise as Accountants of Kent and a FreeAgent Gold Partner allows us to provide proactive, tailored solutions that solve real-world problems. Here are a few examples of how we go beyond basic bookkeeping to deliver tangible value.
 
Scenario 1: The Freelance Graphic Designer Juggling Projects and Paperwork

• The Challenge: A freelance graphic designer uses FreeAgent to invoice clients but struggles to track project profitability and manage expenses correctly. They worry about missing a tax deadline and are unsure if they’re claiming all eligible business costs.

• Our Solution: We connect with their FreeAgent account, conduct a full review, and clean up their categories. We set up an automated expense capture system using the FreeAgent mobile app and create custom project reports. This was done via FreeAgent’s AI-powered Smart Capture feature. During our check-in, we teach them how to use the "Project" feature to track time and expenses against each client, giving them a clear view of which projects are most profitable. We also set up MTD VAT submissions and create a clear tax timeline within FreeAgent so they never miss a deadline.

• The Result: The designer gains complete peace of mind. They save hours each month on admin, confidently submit their tax returns, and can now make informed decisions about their pricing and client base.

 
Scenario 2: The E-commerce Startup with Growing Sales and Complex Stock

• The Challenge: An e-commerce business owner has scaled their sales, but managing inventory and reconciling a high volume of transactions is becoming a full-time job. They are spending more time on admin than on growing their business and are concerned about accurate stock valuation for their year-end accounts.

• Our Solution: We optimize their FreeAgent setup to handle high transaction volumes efficiently. We guide them on best practices for recording sales and expenses and help them integrate any third-party tools where possible. We work closely to ensure their stock valuation is accurate at the financial year-end. We provide regular, in-depth reports using FreeAgent’s advanced features to analyse their best-selling products and identify key performance indicators.

• The Result: The business owner is no longer overwhelmed by admin. They have a streamlined system that keeps their financial data accurate and up-to-date. With our proactive advice, they gain better visibility into their business performance and can make strategic decisions to fuel future growth.

 
Scenario 3: The Contractor Starting Their Own Limited Company

• The Challenge: An IT contractor has just set up their own limited company. They've heard about FreeAgent and know they need to keep accounts, but they have no idea where to start. They are worried about getting payroll, dividends, and corporation tax wrong.

• Our Solution: We provide a comprehensive onboarding process. We handle the initial company setup in FreeAgent and provide a step-by-step video guide tailored to their specific needs. We explain the difference between a salary and a dividend, and we run their monthly payroll for them. We set up a clear schedule for dividend payments and explain what documentation is required. Most importantly, we are always on hand via phone or email to answer any questions.

• The Result: The new contractor feels confident and in control. They know their finances are being managed by experts who understand the nuances of contracting, leaving them free to focus on their client work and enjoy the benefits of being their own boss.
