How we support IT professionals in Cardiff and beyond
If you work in tech as a contractor, freelancer or consultant, you need an accountant who understands how your income works. We specialise in serving IT professionals across South Wales, handling everything from bookkeeping and VAT returns to tax planning and company accounts. Whether you're contracting through a limited company or just starting out as a sole trader, we make sure your finances are organised, compliant and optimised.
Most of our IT clients come to us because they're spending too much time on admin or worrying they're paying more tax than they need to. We set you up with cloud accounting software that automates your record-keeping, then take care of monthly bookkeeping, payroll, tax returns and statutory filings. You get real-time visibility into your finances without the manual data entry, and we're always on hand to answer questions about contracts, expenses or tax-efficient salary and dividend splits.
We help you structure your business so you keep more of what you earn, without taking unnecessary risks.

What's included in our IT accountancy service
Our fixed-fee packages cover bookkeeping, payroll processing, VAT returns, corporation tax returns and annual accounts preparation. We also provide tax planning advice throughout the year, help with cashflow forecasting and support if you're switching from another accountant or moving from sole trader to limited company. Cloud accounting software integration is included, with full training so you're comfortable using it from day one.
IR35 is a major concern for many IT contractors, and we help you understand where you stand. While we don't provide legal contract reviews, we can advise on your working practices, guide you through the off-payroll rules and ensure your tax affairs reflect your actual status. If HMRC ever queries your returns, we'll be there to respond on your behalf.
Why IT professionals in Cardiff choose us
We've worked with developers, consultants, project managers and IT support professionals for nearly a decade. That means we understand variable income, contract gaps, home office expenses and the tax reliefs available to tech businesses. We know the questions to ask and the pitfalls to avoid, whether you're billing through an agency or working directly with clients.
Being based in Cardiff, we support businesses across South Wales and beyond. Most of our communication happens via email, phone and video call, so it doesn't matter if you're working from home in Penarth, on-site in Newport or consulting remotely for a London client. We're always easy to reach and quick to respond.
Cash flow can be unpredictable when you're contracting, especially between assignments. We help you forecast tax bills, plan for Corporation Tax and VAT payments, and set aside the right amount each month so there are no nasty surprises. You'll always know what you owe and when it's due.
If you've been managing your own books or using a generalist accountant who doesn't quite get IT contracting, switching to us is straightforward. We handle all the admin, liaise with HMRC and your previous accountant if needed, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. You'll have one main point of contact who understands your business and keeps everything running smoothly in the background.
