Greg engaged Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd as his accountants in 2005. He is an IT Contractor and needed an accountant that would guide him through the accounting process of moving from permanent employment to being a contractor.
Greg was permanently employed 3 years ago. He decided to start contracting as he wanted to earn more money and be in control of his working arrangements. However, he had concerns due to his lack of tax and accounting knowledge. A colleague advised Greg to contact Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd. He had all his questions answered by a consultant and was put at ease immediately. He was provided with clear, relevant recommendations as to which way of working would best suit his needs and ultimately decided to set up a limited company. Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd set up his company, bank account and registration for him, free of charge.
Greg has had a limited company for nearly 3 years now and this has enabled him to take home as much money as legally possible and enjoy his financial independence.
Ravi is a project manager and initially joined an umbrella company but quickly engaged Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd to help him increase his take home pay.
When Ravi first started contracting his agent gave him details of an umbrella company. His first contract was due to start very soon, so he hastily decided to join the umbrella company.
He thought everything was going well until he spoke to a colleague who had her own limited company. She made him aware that he could take home more money if he had his own limited company.
She recommended that he contact a Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd consultant to see if they could help him. He did – and Ravi has been a Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd client for just over 1 year and has seen an increase in his pay of around £250 per week.
The Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd consultant understood Ravi's needs and gave him the most appropriate recommendation. It became apparent to Ravi that an umbrella company had not been the best option for him.
Benjamin is an engineer and was looking for an accountant that would take away the hassle of time-consuming administration so that he could enjoy his free time.
Benjamin has run his own limited company for nearly 7 years. He was fed up with all the time-consuming administration he had to do, so he decided he was going to use an umbrella company; that was until he realised how much money he’d lose due to the higher rate of tax and National Insurance that he would have to pay.
Whilst searching on the internet for a specialist contractor accountant, Benjamin saw Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd's details appear at the top of the listing so he called them and spoke to one of their specialist consultants. He explained his problem and the consultant recommended a solution based on his requirements. Benjamin decided to set up his own limited company with Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd and they took away the hassle of administration.
Benjamin is now pleased that he hired Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd as his accountant as he has a lot more free time and his take home pay has increased. He would not hesitate to recommend Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd’s services to any other freelance contractor.
