Are you a contracting workaholic? Let us handle the accounting jobs for you!

Workaholics Day fell on Sunday 5th July, and if you're the sort who genuinely loves what you do, we think it deserves a mention. 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. That drive is exactly what makes a great independent contractor in Ireland so worth having.

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.

The job list you never signed up for

When you decided to contract, you signed up to do the work you're great at. You didn't sign up to become a part time bookkeeper, tax adviser and compliance officer on the side. Yet without the right accountants for contractors behind you, that's exactly what tends to land on your plate:

• Submitting invoices to your client and keeping on top of what you're owed
• Managing the tax payments due to Revenue, on time and in full
• Making sure you're maximising your contract pay
• Keeping proper records of your business expenses
• Staying fully compliant with all your obligations

On their own, none of these are a big deal. Add them all together though, and they quietly swallow up your evenings and weekends.

Don't add accounting to your list. Leave it with us.

At Icon Accounting, we think our contractors should be free to do what they do best. That's the whole idea behind our fully managed contractor accounting service. It's designed to take the accounting side of contracting completely off your hands. We look after your invoicing, your tax, your expenses and your compliance, so you can put your energy into your contract instead of your paperwork.

As we always say, you do your job and we'll do the rest. You focus on delivering your services into your project, and we take care of everything from an accounting point of view. It really is that simple, and it means the one job you never need to write on your list is “sort out the accounts.”
