Accounting Built for IT Consultants
IT consultants face accounting challenges that general accountants rarely handle. IR35 compliance, PSC management, salary and dividend optimisation, contract status determinations and allowable expense claims all demand advisors who know how IT contractors invoice and retain more income.
ABM Chartered Accountants works with freelance IT consultants, PSC directors, technology contractors and interim IT professionals across England, delivering structured financial support for IT businesses and individual consultants. Every IR35 review, tax return and company filing is handled accurately.
Helping IT Consultants Optimise Their Tax Position
IT consultants need more than basic compliance. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares PSC accounts, IR35 contract reviews, salary and dividend strategies, VAT returns and tax planning, giving IT consultants clear visibility over take-home pay, corporation tax and available reliefs.
Whether you operate through a PSC, work via an umbrella, freelance as a sole trader or manage multiple contracts, our ICAEW and ACCA qualified team adapts to your setup, keeping individual consultants and businesses covered on IR35 and tax.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions IT consultants, PSC directors and technology contractors ask about specialist accounting for the sector.
How does IR35 affect IT consultants?
IR35 determines whether your contract is treated as employment for tax. If inside, tax is deducted at source. If outside, you retain PSC advantages including salary and dividend planning.
Should I use a PSC or umbrella?
PSCs offer greater tax efficiency for outside-IR35 contracts through salary and dividend splits. Umbrella companies suit inside-IR35 engagements where PSC advantages are limited. Many IT consultants switch between both.
What expenses can IT consultants claim?
IT consultants claim travel to temporary workplaces, equipment, software, training, BCS subscriptions, professional indemnity insurance and home office costs. Claims depend on IR35 status and contract terms.
How is salary and dividend optimised?
Your accountant sets a tax-efficient salary and extracts remaining profits as dividends, which carry lower National Insurance. The optimal split depends on annual profit, other income and personal allowances.
Is VAT flat rate scheme suitable?
Often, yes. IT consultants with low material costs benefit from the flat rate scheme, paying a fixed VAT percentage to HMRC. The applicable rate depends on business type.
Can ABM support IT consultants nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves IT consultants and contractors across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to PSC directors, freelancers and interim IT professionals.
