Accountancy services for media and creative contractors and freelancers
The media and creative sector has exploded over the past decade, and with it, the need for experienced, top quality freelancers and contractors. Tight deadlines, short term projects, flexible teams, specialised skills; the nature of the industry - whether PR, marketing, digital, video or design - makes it ideal for successful contracting.
Our comprehensive service and proactive support mean that whatever your work pressures, you benefit from the peace of mind of knowing your finances are in order and that you are working compliantly. Our free Choices guide explains more about the different options for working as media and creative contractor.
Up-to-date financial information for media and creative professionals
Brookson help you take care of your day-to-day invoicing and bookkeeping tasks, you can get on with your job safe in the knowledge that your accounts are always up to date. The essential financial information you need to run your business - which bills have been paid in and out, how much you can safely take out and, crucially, how much you need to put aside for tax – is all managed on your behalf.
We also oversee your compliance with HM Revenue and Customs obligations, keeping you on the right side of the taxman with our proactive, on-going advice. And in the unlikely event that HMRC does make enquiries, we are by your side throughout with our Tax Promise, providing all the answers and paperwork HMRC need to conclude their enquiries quickly, with the minimum of stress to you.
We are much more than an everyday accountant. Through our partners, we provide a full range of financial services, from tax planning to self-employed pensions. And as we become more familiar with your finances as a media and creative professional, we can provide more specialist insights to make your working life as stress-free as possible. Our services deliver real value to media and creative contractors by giving you the time and space to focus on what is most important – doing a good job and finding more work.
