As an independent contractor, I had decided that the use of an Umbrella Company was no longer the best option and needed to set up a Limited Company to administer my freelancing activity. Kathryn provided advice and guidance from setting up the business on “day one”, and throughout the company’s seven years of trading. My day to day bookkeeping was managed through an easy-to-use web portal which simply required me to enter invoices, payments and expense items etc. Kathryn looked after the Accounts preparation, submissions, VAT returns and Payroll. She also helped in the preparation of my own Self Assessment and with personal Tax Advice. This has continued until earlier this year when the Company ceased trading following my decision to accept a permanent position. Kathryn has continued to help with the winding up of the company. I am no longer trading and have taken up permanent employment instead. The company traded successfully for seven years and I am satisfied with what was achieved with the help and advice of Kathryn and her colleagues.
