How we help Freelancers with their Accounts

As a freelancer, you're in charge of your own business, but managing your finances can often be overwhelming. Whether you’re a creative professional, a consultant, or a contractor, keeping track of your income, expenses, taxes, and savings can quickly become complex. 

At JP Egan & Company, we provide freelancers with expert accounting services that simplify your finances, maximise your tax savings, and ensure compliance with tax regulations, leaving you to focus on your work.

Advantages of Freelancing:

Freelancing offers flexibility and independence, but it also comes with a unique set of responsibilities. Here’s a look at the key advantages and challenges of being a freelancer:

  • Complete control over your career: As a freelancer, you decide who to work with, which projects to take on, and when to work, giving you the flexibility to manage your time.
  • Potential for higher income: Many freelancers can earn more than salaried employees, particularly if they specialise in high-demand areas.
  • Work-life balance: Freelancing allows for greater work-life balance, especially if you have the flexibility to choose your own hours and work remotely.
  • Tax savings: As a self-employed individual, you can claim business expenses, such as office supplies, software subscriptions, and even a home office, to reduce your taxable income.

Challenges of Freelancing:

  • Irregular income: Freelancers often face fluctuations in income, which means managing cash flow is essential to staying financially stable.
  • Self-employment taxes: Freelancers are responsible for paying their own taxes, including income tax and social insurance contributions, which can be complicated without proper planning.
  • No employee benefits: Unlike traditional employees, freelancers do not have access to benefits like paid sick leave, pension plans, or health insurance unless arranged independently.
  • Limited legal protections: Freelancers don’t have the same legal protections as employees, which can create challenges when negotiating contracts and dealing with clients.
