For social media managers

Tax help for social media managers.

You look after everyone else's feeds. We'll look after your tax return, your expenses and your deadlines.

Sound familiar?

Lots of clients, lots of invoices

Retainers, one-off jobs and payments landing at different times.

"Can I claim that?"

Your phone, laptop, apps and scheduling tools. What counts?

January always sneaks up

Then it's a scramble for receipts and bank statements.

Your business is more than what you do.

There's no single way to run a social media business. You might be managing everything yourself, working with freelancers or building an agency of your own. It's an industry that's constantly evolving, and every business within it is a little different.

We take a genuine interest in the people and businesses we work with. We want to understand how yours operates, what matters to you and where you'd like to take it. That way, we're not just looking after your accounts and tax returns. We're giving you practical, straightforward advice that makes sense for your business and where you're heading.

What we do for you

We take care of it all.

  • Your tax return, done and filed

    You'll know what you owe and when, well before the deadline.

  • Your expenses, sorted

    The work side of your phone, laptop, software and working from home.

  • Your books on Xero

    Invoices and payments in one place, set up and kept tidy.

One useful answer

Can I claim my phone and laptop?

If you use them for your work, you can usually claim the business part of the cost. We work out what's fair and keep a record, so you're covered if HMRC ever asks.

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.

Do I need to register as self-employed?

If you're earning from social media work outside of a job, you may need to. We'll check and sort it for you.

Should I be a sole trader or a limited company?

It depends on how much you earn and your plans. We'll talk it through with you.
