EMPOWERING
contractors with financial clarity
Contracting is a lifestyle choice and a specialist business model, and you need an accountant who understands the nuances and knows where you will need their support. You also need your accountant to be familiar with the complex legislation that affects the contracting industry and keep up to date with the fast pace of change. In other words, you need a specialist contractor accountant who can give you and your contracting business the time and attention you deserve.
As a client of Companion Accountancy, you’ll be supported by a dedicated specialist accountant from our contracting team. Your accountant wants to understand your business and will focus on the details to benefit you and your success. We know that one package may not suit everybody, so we offer three different fixed-fee packages.
