IT & Software Contractors

Accounting for IT & software contractors.

Contracting through your own personal service company brings a specific set of questions that a generalist accountant often can't answer well — IR35 status, how to extract income tax-efficiently, what counts as a genuine business expense. Buzz works with PSC contractors who want an accountant that already understands the structure they're operating under.

IR35 got you worried? You're not alone

Whether an engagement sits inside or outside IR35 has a direct, material effect on what a contract is actually worth to you, and getting the status wrong isn't just a paperwork problem — it can mean an unexpected tax bill landing well after the work's done. We help contractors stay compliant, understand what each engagement's status actually means, and extract income in a way that's correct and tax-efficient rather than guessed at.

What contractors need from an accountant

Support built around how PSC contracting actually works

IR35 awareness

Practical understanding of what inside and outside status means for you, so you're not navigating it alone. Read our plain-English guide to IR35 for the full picture.

PSC structure handled properly

Year-end accounts, Corporation Tax and Companies House filings for your personal service company, kept on top of properly.

Tax-efficient extraction

Practical guidance on drawing income from your company in a way that's compliant and doesn't leave money on the table.

VAT and Self Assessment

VAT returns and your personal Self Assessment handled alongside your company accounts, so nothing falls between the two.

A dedicated accountant

Someone who understands contracting and can talk through a specific engagement, not just generic small business advice.

One fixed monthly fee

No hidden extras and no surprise bills between contracts — support included as standard.

FreeAgent included

Clean records, ready if a status determination is ever questioned

FreeAgent is included as part of your package, worth up to £330 a year, giving you a clear, organised record of income and expenses. Keeping proper records is part of what "compliant" actually looks like day to day, not just how the contract is worded.
