Conversation Costs Nothing, But
Could Change Everything
Every great business story starts with a single conversation. That chat is absolutely free—and may be the moment that changes your business’s future. Book a free call—no pressure, just possibilities.
Running a contracting business in the UK is challenging. There are endless deadlines, CIS compliance, IR35 worries, invoicing, expenses, VAT traps, payroll for subbies or site staff, and constant pressure to find your next job—all while making sure you keep as much of your hard-earned income as possible. At Swift Accountants, we turn financial complexity into simplicity and stress into certainty—making your accounts your competitive advantage.
As expert accountants for contractors, we prepare, review, and file your annual accounts and tax returns—CIS, self-assessment, or limited company. Every claimable expense, mileage, capital allowance, and relief is maximised—so you pay only what you legally must and not a penny more.
We handle all CIS registrations, monthly CIS returns, and tax reclaim for contractors and subcontractors—ensuring you get every allowable deduction and avoid costly HMRC penalties. If IR35 applies to your contract, we advise on the best structure, calculate the most tax-efficient route, and handle all compliance so you never get caught out.
We manage everything for you—from VAT registration and advice on the best VAT scheme (flat rate, standard, or cash accounting) to quarterly returns and MTD compliance. Every possible reclaim is made—no VAT stress or risk of penalties.
Whether you hire other contractors, subbies, or have site staff, we manage all payroll, PAYE, RTI, holiday pay, and CIS payments—accurately, on time, and always 100% HMRC compliant. No more disputes, missed paydays, or late penalties.
Enjoy live, cloud-based bookkeeping with Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent—plus instant receipt capture and automatic bank feeds. Always know your profits, cashflow, and tax position at a glance—no more spreadsheets, no more guessing.
We provide proactive tax planning year-round—advising you on mileage claims, travel, tools, PPE, insurances, home office expenses, R&D, and the best structure for your work (sole trader, limited company, or umbrella). We make sure every tax break is yours, and every expense is claimed.
Need a business loan, want to buy a van, or grow your team? We help with business plans, cashflow forecasting, funding applications, and strategic reviews—so your contracting business stays strong and competitive, no matter the market.
No more “brown envelope” dread. We handle all HMRC letters, calls, and queries, including CIS and IR35 investigations. We represent and defend you, so you never have to deal with HMRC alone.
Switching to Swift Accountants is easy, fast, and fully managed. We liaise with your previous accountant, transfer all records, set up your digital systems, and provide all the training and support you need—so you can get back to work, stress-free.
You get a dedicated accountant for contractors—always ready with practical, plain-English advice. No extra fees for questions, no confusing language, and never a call centre—just honest support, whenever you need it.

Clear Answers, Confident Decisions
A: Contractors face unique challenges—like CIS compliance, IR35 rules, invoicing, VAT, and maximising allowable expenses. Specialist accountants for contractors help you save tax, avoid penalties, stay compliant, and free up your time to focus on your contracts.
A: We offer comprehensive services for contractors: annual accounts, CIS returns, VAT, payroll, tax planning, IR35 advice, invoicing, expenses, self-assessment, real-time bookkeeping, and unlimited support—all tailored for your contracting business.
A: CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) is HMRC’s system for handling tax on payments to subcontractors in construction. If you’re a contractor or subcontractor in construction, you likely need to register. Our experts manage all CIS registrations, monthly returns, and tax reclaims for you.
A: IR35 determines whether you should be treated as an employee or self-employed for tax. Our contractor accountants review your contracts, assess IR35 status, advise on the best business structure, and ensure full compliance—so you avoid HMRC investigations and penalties.
A: Contractors can claim expenses such as tools, travel, vehicle costs, insurance, training, PPE, mobile phone, professional fees, home office, and subsistence—if they are wholly and exclusively for business. We’ll make sure you claim every allowable expense and keep more of your earnings.
A: Both options have pros and cons. A limited company can be more tax-efficient and protect your personal assets, while self-employment is simpler. We’ll assess your contracts and goals to advise on the best setup for you—and handle all registrations and ongoing compliance.
A: If your turnover exceeds £90,000 (current VAT threshold), you must register. We help you choose the right scheme (flat rate, standard, cash accounting), handle quarterly returns, and make sure every allowable VAT reclaim is made.
A: Our contractor portal lets you generate, send, and track invoices in seconds, upload receipts, and manage payments—making cashflow easy and paperwork hassle-free.
A: You get specialist contractor accountants, fixed monthly fees, unlimited support, a 24/7 online portal, proactive tax planning, CIS & IR35 expertise, and peace of mind knowing your finances are fully taken care of.
A: Switching is seamless and free. We handle all the admin, contact your previous accountant, transfer your records, and set up your digital systems—so you never lose a day’s work.
A: With Swift Accountants, support really is unlimited. Call, message, or email your dedicated accountant as often as you need—no hidden fees or call centre runarounds.
