Freelance & Contractor FAQs

What does a freelance accountant do?

A freelance accountant helps contractors and self-employed professionals manage their finances – handling tax returns, bookkeeping, VAT, and company accounts. At Streets, we offer tailored services for freelancers and limited company directors, making sure you stay compliant and tax-efficient while focusing on your work.
Freelance accountants typically charge based on their experience, services offered, and client needs. Rates can vary from £25 to £75+ per hour or fixed monthly packages. Streets offer flexible, transparent pricing options for freelancers – designed to suit your stage of business.

If you’re offering freelance accounting services, your rates should reflect your qualifications, experience, and the complexity of the work. Research market rates, consider your niche (e.g. contractor accounting), and ensure your fees cover your time, overheads, and value. Streets can also offer support if you’re starting out and need financial advice for your own freelance practice. 

Absolutely – freelance accounting offers flexibility, independence, and strong demand across sectors. However, it comes with responsibilities like tax compliance, client management, and financial planning. Streets support freelance accountants and contractor clients alike, ensuring your business is structured properly and runs smoothly.
