Accountant for Sole Traders in Hull
Self assessment, bookkeeping, and tax planning for sole traders across Hull and East Yorkshire. Fixed monthly fees. No surprises.
Simple, Affordable Accounting for Sole Traders
Running a business as a sole trader is the simplest structure — but it doesn't mean the tax is simple. You need to file a self assessment each year, keep records of your income and expenses, and manage your own National Insurance contributions. Getting any of these wrong can be costly.
We work with sole traders across every sector in Hull and East Yorkshire — trades, consultants, freelancers, retailers, and service businesses. We handle your self assessment, bookkeeping, and VAT returns, so you can focus on running your business.
Fixed monthly fees, no surprises, and an accountant you can actually call when you have a question.

Questions from Sole Traders
Do I need an accountant as a sole trader?+
You're not legally required to use an accountant, but most sole traders who do save more in tax than they pay in fees. We make sure you're claiming every legitimate expense and filing correctly.
What is the self assessment deadline?+
The online self assessment deadline is 31 January following the end of the tax year. We file well in advance of this deadline so you always know your tax liability early.
What expenses can sole traders claim?+
It depends on your trade, but common expenses include equipment, tools, vehicle costs, home office, phone, professional subscriptions, insurance, and training. We review your specific situation to maximise your claims.
When do I need to register for VAT?+
Once your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold in any 12-month period, you must register. We monitor your threshold and handle registration and quarterly returns.
Should I become a limited company?+
Once your profit consistently exceeds £30,000–£35,000, a limited company typically saves meaningful tax. We'll model both options and give you a clear recommendation.
