Self-Employed
Accounting
For freelancers, contractors, and sole traders. We handle your Self Assessment, keep your tax position clear all year, and make sure you never miss a deadline.
The Difference
Most accounting falls into two camps. We built a third.
Neither DIY spreadsheets nor a once-a-year accountant give founders what they actually need — timely numbers they can act on.
| DIY / Spreadsheets | Traditional Accountant | Reckonwell | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How often your books are updated | Whenever you find time | Once a year, at filing deadline | ✓Daily |
| When you find out about a problem | Usually too late | Months after it happened | ✓Within days |
| Who does the work | You | An accountant you speak to once a year | ✓A dedicated finance team member who knows your business |
| Software | Whatever you can figure out | Varies by firm | ✓Xero / QuickBooks, set up properly from day one |
| HMRC & compliance | You handle it, or scramble each deadline | Filed on time, little else | ✓Filed on time, plus daily bookkeeping so nothing is ever a surprise |
| What it costs you | Your time (the real cost) | Often unpredictable, scope creep | ✓Transparent pricing — see your exact price in 2 minutes |
We're not just another compliance box-tick. We're the finance function most founders wish they had.
