Accountancy & Tax

[friendly accountant]

This is a genuine advert aimed at ladies who need help or assistance with everything from basic book keeping to more complicated tax matters. Our moto is straight forward talking with no bull or “going round the houses”.

I am are a professional regulated accountant who is very discreet and understand the issues working in the adult entertainment industry.

I have been in the accounting industry for over 20 years so have a wealth of experience in dealing with all aspects of the financial affairs of clients. A considerable amount of my client base works in the adult industry. Ranging from book keeping services through to tax calculations and more; we can do it all for you.

Apart from the initial identification (which is a legal requirement), I can do everything after that by email or phone call. No need to take time out from your working schedule to meet with us on a regular basis. I am are always at the end of the phone or email if you need advice or help.

Our fee structure is simple, good value for money and for the vast majority of clients will be on a fixed monthly amount - saving you the worry about paying an annual bill. Our fees are totally tax deductible and we usually save you more money than we cost.

I make it very simple and straight forward for you on a monthly basis. Yes - some ladies decide to do it themselves; it's not always that complicated. Other ladies like to just forget about it and give it to someone else to do.

I will keep you safe and legal within the tax system, but also minimise the tax you pay.

No one likes paying it, but unfortunately the tax man has various ways and means of finding people who avoid tax. Do not become another one of the taxman's successful statistics - if you are not in the tax system, there is a strong chance that the tax man will eventually find you and the penalties can be nasty. Beat him at his own game by employing us to handle your financial affairs. None of our clients have ever been investigated! (Apologies for the directness; but it does happen!)

We have heard recently of a number of escorts that have taken bookings via a certain site only to find that the guy was an investigations officer with HMRC.

Remember - Al Capone - they caught him on tax evasion!

You also need to think about the future; if you are not in the tax system then how do you explain that nice big deposit you have saved up for your ideal house? Trying to be clever now could cost you a lot more in the future than you have saved.

Discretion is the name of the game for ALL of my clients (irrespective of what they do).

I have a business website and can produce all necessary qualifications and insurances.

Please feel free to get on touch for an initial no obligation discussion to see how we can help you.

We are human and treat all of our clients how we like to be treated.

My initial contact details are: friendly_accountant@hotmail.co.uk

Once we have had an initial email discussion or telephone chat and agree that we want to move forward to a meeting, then I am happy to provide my full contact details etc as well as business name etc. I have absolutely nothing to hide; experience has taught all of us to be careful on public message boards! I will happily come to you for a no obligation discussion. After that, all future dealings can be done via telephone or email.

Hi
I am in the US - so although you sound great, cant use you

but do have a question - sometimes online when I buy services (like a UK toll free number) I am charged VAT - but I thought I could get that refunded or not be taxed - am I correct?

I would like a copy of the list that states what can be claimed for on expenses if anyone has got one. I'm pretty sure I am claiming the right stuff, but you never know what you might be missing and it all counts, plus terminology for describing things.

[abcdef]

oh god i have never claimed any expenses

[friendly accountant]

Various PM's sent to you all

oh god i have never claimed any expenses

[MichelleSins]

oh god i have never claimed any expenses

OMG!! Think of all those travel expenses and hotels etc when you are on Tour hun!! x

I used to run my own business and basically keep all of your receipts for anything you do with your business. Hotels, Travel, Magazines, Clothes, Cameras. As long as you have the receipt and you can justify it as a legit business expense then it can go in.

The other bit of advice I was given a long time ago was that if the tax man comes around always agree with him about the small things and he may miss the big ones :-)

Just thought I would post some useful (or boring depending upon your point of view) thoughts and bits of information:

The title accountant is NOT a protected title; therefore anybody can call themselves accountants.

Not all accountants are equal; one working for a local council will have very different knowledge to one who runs their own accountancy practice and deals with sole traders through to large Ltd Companies.

A "proper regulated" accountant will have undergone extensive training and exams and must hold a practising certificate from their institute. This means they have PI insurance and have proved to their institute that they will adhere to the institutes strict code of conduct when dealing with clients.

This means they will issue you an engagement letter etc outlining what to expect and where to complain.

A "proper regulated accountant" will have no trouble proving their credentials when asked by a client.

Tax law is the same for all taxpayers - irrespective of what the tax payer does for a living.

These are all issues that I have come across (from clients who have been badly advised in the past by "so called accountants") and thought it worth sharing them.

I hate "professionals" who aren't professional and I am proud of my qualifications. and the service I give.

I get the same being an Engineer. It winds me up that I have 6 years training and many years of experience but an 18 year old straight out of school can be employed in his first job with no qualification and be called an engineer!
