Sound familiar?

January sneaks up
Then it's a rush to match every invoice to a payment.
You know your words. We'd like to know your business.
Some copywriters stick to one industry and know it inside out. Others write for anyone who needs a website, a brochure or a newsletter. You might work alone, alongside agencies or straight with business owners.
Whatever your set-up, we'd like to hear how your work comes in and what you want more of. With that in mind, we can keep your finances in order. Our advice will make sense for how you write and earn.
What we do for you
We take care of it all.

Your tax return, done and filed
Every job added up, so you know what you owe and when.
-
Your expenses, sorted
The work side of your laptop, software, phone and working from home.

Your books on Xero
Invoices and payments in one place, so you can see who has paid and who hasn't.
One useful answer
Can I claim for working from home?
If you work from home, you can usually claim part of your home costs, like heating and electricity. We'll work out the fairest way to do it for you.

Quick questions
Can I claim my laptop and software?
If you use them for your work, you can usually claim the business part. We'll keep a record, so you're covered if HMRC ever asks.
Do I need to register as self-employed?
If you take on writing work outside of a job, you may need to. We'll check and sort it for you.
When is the Self Assessment deadline?
For online returns, it's 31 January after the end of the tax year. We'll remind you well before then.
