How much does a consultant accountant cost in the UK?

How much does a consultant accountant cost in the UK?

UK accountants for management consultants and independent advisors start from £22/month for sole-trader consultants under the VAT threshold. Limited-company consultants typically pay £55-£200/month including corporation tax, dividend optimisation and director payroll. High-earning consultants (£200k+ fee income) usually pay £150-£400/month with active tax planning and IR35 advisory built in.

How is this different from a contractor accountant?

Significant overlap, but consulting engagements have different IR35 dynamics, more varied revenue recognition (retainers vs milestones vs success fees), and typically higher per-engagement values. A specialist consultant accountant has done this enough times to handle the nuances.

Can you handle multiple revenue streams?

Yes - many UK consultants mix advisory work, NED roles, occasional speaking fees, and book/course income. A specialist will set up clean tracking for each.

What about international clients?

Common for UK consultants. We'll match you with firms experienced in cross-border invoicing, VAT place-of-supply rules, and double taxation treaty considerations.

About the author

Charlie Bailey · Founder, GoConsultant

GoConsultant exists because management consulting has a different shape from typical contracting — multi-client retainers, success fees, deferred income, IR35 decisions per engagement. Charlie Bailey built the matching service after years inside that world, watching consultants pay generic accountants to learn the shape on the job.

If your accountant has never had to recognise revenue across a milestone-billed project with a success kicker, they're going to make mistakes on your accounts. Find one who has.
