Are you unhappy with the service you're getting from your accountant?

Traditional accountancy firms often support a wide range of businesses, but may not specialise in your circumstances or industry.
Online accountancy services can offer convenience, but some contractors miss the reassurance of having direct access to a dedicated accountant.
Even specialist providers aren't always the right fit. Often communication is not tailored, not proactive, service levels don’t meet expectations and clients look for a more relationship focused accountant.
We'll discuss your company structure, current accountant arrangement and your ongoing requirements.
We will fully liaise with your current accountant, HMRC and Companies House, meaning minimal hassle or work required for you
We'll request professional clearance and transfer of records directly from your existing accountant.
Once records are transferred, your dedicated accountant will get you fully up to date.
If you're a limited company contractor working outside of IR35 or a freelancer, trading through your own limited company could be a great option. Our video gives a quick overview of your responsibilities as a director and how our tailored accountancy services can support you. If a sole trader or partnership is a better fit, our tax team can guide you on everything from record-keeping to submitting tax returns.
Your records remain your property throughout the transfer process. PayStream will obtain statutory accounts, corporation tax records, VAT history, payroll information, Companies House filings and relevant HMRC correspondence. Our aim is a seamless handover with minimal disruption.
