Contracting info, Limited Company Solutions & Setup
As your contracting career develops, it's well worth reviewing whether your current company solution is still the right fit. Circumstances change, and the setup that suited you at the start of your journey might not be the one that helps you take home the most from your contract today.

Thinking about processing a spouse to your company payroll? It's one of the questions we're asked most often by contractors operating through their own Personal Limited Company, and it's a good one to ask. Done properly, employing a family member can be a genuinely tax efficient way to reward work that's actually being done for the business.

Contracting tends to attract driven people. You take on a role because you want to deliver, do a brilliant job, and go again on the next challenge. Here's what we've learned over the last 18 years of looking after contractors in Ireland, though. Your days are full and your lives are busy, and for the length of every contract your focus is on one thing: delivering your services into the project in front of you. The last thing you want after all that is to come home and start doing your own accounts.
Wealth Management & Financial Planning
One of the most common questions we hear at Icon Wealth Management from contractors and umbrella company directors is some version of this: “I have some life cover. Am I sorted?” The short answer is: probably not entirely. Life cover and income protection are two very different things, and most contractors need both, but for different reasons, at different times, and in different amounts.

We've reached the halfway point of the year, and if you're like most contractors, the last six months have flown by. Between contracts, deadlines and the day-to-day of running your own business, it's easy to put your own finances on the long finger. But the middle of the year is the ideal time to pause, take stock, and make sure everything is still working as hard as it should be for you.

Ireland's new auto-enrolment pension scheme, My Future Fund, began at the start of this year, and if you are a contractor who met the eligibility criteria, you may have been enrolled in January without lifting a finger. Now, you are approaching the point where you can choose to step back from the scheme if it is not the right fit for you. Here’s the options available to you.
