Business and Marketing

As a business and marketing professional it’s relatively simple to get a job through an agency, online or by directly applying to a company. Going out on your own might not be something you’ve thought of before but there can be many benefits to be had by freelancing.

One of the biggest attractions is the chance to work for yourself and be your own boss. Most self employed business and marketing professions have higher job satisfaction with a more relaxed lifestyle. You’re able to work when and where you like with total autonomy over the clients that you deal with.

The majority of our clients also note the opportunity to earn more money. As a freelancer, your only real costs are...yourself! Depending on the number of clients you have and the amount you charge for your services, you could end up earning up to twice that of an employee in the same job role.

If you’d like to become a business and marketing freelancer, you’ll need to speak with an accountant about how to apply to become a sole trader and the change in how you pay tax.

Easy Accountancy

Easy Accountancy is the UK’s only national specialist accountancy firm for freelancers, sole traders and small businesses

If you’ve just started out as a freelancer or run a small business, you’ll definitely need a small accountant and there are plenty of options out there! However, most accountants will charge you every time you get in touch with them; for every phone call, email or meeting.

We don’t want our clients to be scared to contact us and potentially lose out on valuable tax saving advice. It's even more important when you first start out as you really need to set your business up in the best way possible. As a start up you’ll probably have loads of questions and will really appreciate the fact you can call your accountant as many times as you like without the fear of racking up large bills.

Our low cost, all-inclusive fixed-fee accountancy service includes unlimited access to your own accountant throughout the year, so you never need to worry about picking up the phone and then receiving a bill afterwards for the privilege, and covers all your business and personal tax affairs needs. All clients additionally receive: 

  • Help to run your business in the most tax efficient way possible
  • Help so you can understand the taxes you need to pay
  • Advice on the best ways to manage your business
  • Updates and reminders so you'll never miss a deadline
  • Help to ensure you maximise your tax allowances
  • Provide proactive tax advice throughout the year
