Accountant in Crawley
Tax & Accounting for Crawley Businesses
Crawley RH10-RH11 is a West Sussex town dominated by its proximity to Gatwick Airport, with a major aviation, logistics, business-park and corporate economy, the Manor Royal business district (one of the largest in the South East), and excellent rail and motorway links. The town has a substantial professional, contractor, trades and small-business community, ongoing residential growth, and an active landlord market.
That gives Crawley a varied accounting profile. The Gatwick, aviation, logistics and business-park firms need full company accounting with capital allowances. Contractors need Ltd company structures and IR35 assessment. The self-employed and trades need the right structure and CIS handling. And the landlord market needs Section 24 planning. We work with Crawley clients entirely online, with fixed monthly fees and the same depth of attention as a local firm.
💡 As an HMRC-registered agent we deal directly with HMRC on your behalf, so you never have to spend hours on hold or navigate their website yourself.
Real Client Story
How we saved a Crawley aviation contractor £8,800 a year through proper structure
Client R is a Crawley-based aviation and engineering contractor working through a Ltd company on contracts with airlines, ground-handling and aviation-services clients around Gatwick. The company had been set up without much advice, salary set sub-optimally, no dividend planning, no pension contributions, and no documented IR35 assessment of the contracts.
We reviewed everything. We assessed and documented the IR35 status of each contract (outside, given genuine substitution rights, multiple clients and control over delivery), restructured the remuneration to salary at the NIC-optimal level plus dividends, and set up an employer pension contribution of £24,000 a year to his SIPP, tax-deductible for the company and a highly efficient extraction.
Total outcome: annual tax saving of £8,800 through proper remuneration structuring and pension contributions, a documented IR35 position protecting against challenge, and £24,000 a year going tax-efficiently into his pension.
