Sole Trader Accounting

Support for Self-Starters

You run the business. We’ll handle the numbers. Whether you’re a creative freelancer, independent consultant, tradesperson or self-employed side-hustler, our sole trader services are designed to take the pressure off and put you in control.

At Collective Concepts Accounting, we know that being a sole trader means doing it all - sales, service, admin and everything in between. That’s why we make your accounts, taxes and bookkeeping one less thing to worry about. We include a planning session between September and March in which we discuss and prepare for the next tax year.


Simple, stress-free, and always tailored to fit the way you work.

  • Core self-assessment tax returns)
  • Income and expense tracking

Whether you’re in your first year of trading or running a six-figure solo business, we’ll make sure you stay compliant, tax-efficient and financially confident.


Clear Accounts = Clear Head


We help you set up clean, simple systems to keep your records in order — so you’re not scrambling through emails and bank statements when tax season hits.


You’ll always know:


  • How much tax you’ll owe — and when to pay it
  • What expenses you can (and can’t) claim
  • How your business is performing month to month
  • Whether you’re ready to grow, invest or go limited


And if you’re not using cloud software yet, we’ll get you set up with the right tools to save time and stay organised.


Not Just Number-Crunchers

Want to know whether to register for VAT? Thinking about hiring your first employee? Wondering if you should set up a limited company? Ask us. We’ll talk you through the pros and cons in plain English, with real numbers.



Going Beyond Compliance

Many sole traders think they “just need someone to do the return.” And yes — we’ll do that. But we’ll also show you how to reduce your tax bill (legally), plan for the future, and build better business habits. If you ever decide to scale, go limited, or add new income streams, we’re ready to support that too.



Fast, Friendly, and Flexible

We know your time is precious — and your workload unpredictable. So we offer flexible communication (email, phone, Zoom), quick turnarounds, and reminders for key deadlines. You do your thing — we’ll keep your accounts ticking along in the background.

Smart advice, simple systems, and year-round support - all designed for sole traders who want more time, less hassle, and total peace of mind.
