Why Use a Specialist
Contractor Accountant?
A generalist accountant can file your return. A specialist contractor accountant saves you thousands.
IR35 Expertise That Stands Up to HMRC
Generalists rarely understand IR35 nuances. We assess every contract and provide written determinations that stand up to HMRC scrutiny — and support you through status disagreement processes with end clients.
£3,000–£8,000 More Take-Home Pay Per Year
We optimise your salary and dividend structure specifically for contractor income patterns. The typical contractor saves thousands per year versus a generalist setup — often paying for our fees many times over.
Every Contractor Expense Identified
Home office, equipment, training, professional indemnity, travel between contracts, accountancy fees, phone, broadband — we know every allowable expense for limited company contractors and make sure you claim them all.

What UK Contractors Say
About GoForma
Real feedback from IT contractors, consultants, and freelancers who switched to specialist support.
GoForma's IR35 assessment gave me complete confidence on a new contract. They identified the key risk areas and helped me restructure the engagement terms. Saved me a potential five-figure tax bill.
Switched from a high street accountant and immediately saw the difference. My take-home pay increased by over four thousand pounds in the first year just from better dividend planning.
They handle everything — accounts, tax, VAT, expenses. I just do my work and send invoices. Best decision I made when starting contracting.
