06 Apr Accountants for Adult Workers: finding a camgirl accountant
Let’s be honest, finding a camgirl accountant isn’t one of the most exciting parts of your job, but it’s certainly one of the most important. In any industry where someone pays for a product or service, accounts must be kept. Adult work is no different. You must first decide what you need an accountant for. If you’re numbers savvy and only need some help filing, great. But you may also have struggled in class and really just need long-term support. You can find something for all your needs. Perhaps you need them to walk you through tax returns. Or maybe you need help with your annual filing for the first time. Yes, you do get a level of tax free earnings from HMRC (up to £12,500), but you still must file a tax return. Whether you’ve earnt £50 or £5,000 It’s a mistake we’ve all made, and if you don’t do it you could incur some hefty fines. To ensure you don’t fall into this trap, we’d recommend seeking the help of an accountant.
Understanding Accountants
Yes, it sounds terrifying. Trust us, they’re not all scary men in suits. Let us assuage that fear right away. All you need to know is that there are definitely some sex-work friendly accountants out there. Finding a camgirl accountant is a learning curve, however. The accountancy trade is full of legal material, jargon, and worst of all, acronyms. There are different types of accountant, the main two are ‘Chartered’ and ‘Certified’. To be honest, the difference between them isn’t massive, most of them can do the job you need them to. However, it is understandable that you may want to look for someone who has a UK recognised qualification. If you’re having a hard time choosing, Chartered is the way to go. There are also accounting technicians and other allied professions, but they are not qualified by the same bodies as the aforementioned.
Looking for someone who is a little more experienced? Look for an F in the letters next to their name. It means they’ve taken a few more exams than the rest. Although, not all ‘accountants’ are Accountants. One warning sign is if a potential accountant simply calls themselves ‘Accountant’ and has nothing to show for it. You wouldn’t call yourself a nurse if you weren’t a nurse… Unless you were a sexy nurse… Anyway, it doesn’t matter.
When you’re thinking of finding a camgirl accountant you should keep in mind that often the best services come at higher prices. If there’s something worth investing in, it’s this. You are well within your right to ask your potential new accountant to show their qualifications.
Finding your Accountant
There are actually a surprising number of adult-friendly accountants online. There are a few which cover things like polyamorous families too! These providers are usually very open and easy to talk to. A quick Google search should do the trick. That being said, a good way to find your accountant is to ask around. Get in touch with some of your SW friends and ask who they use. Even better if you’re based somewhere that’s not the UK or US, you’ll likely find someone in your home country. What’s better than a personal recommendation? That way you know you’re likely to be working with someone you can trust.
There is generally quite a good gender split in the accountancy world, especially those who operate freelance. So if you have concerns about finding a camgirl accountant who may be male, chances are you’ll be able to find someone you feel comfortable working with. There are a few accountants out there who have experience in this world, too.
Working with your Accountant
One of the biggest worries with finding a camgirl accountant is the on-going relationship. You’ve got to remember, this accountant is working for you. You must never feel ashamed or scared to ask a query relating to your business.
Once you start to work with your accountant, it’s best to sit down and run through everything with them. When will you touch base, what is within their remit, payment schedule, etc. We’d recommend talking to your accountant more often if you’re lucky enough to rake in the big bucks with your work. Generally, you’ll find that accountants have an hourly rate. Yes, some of them look expensive, but would you rather pay someone £100/hr who can do it in one, or £50/hr which’ll take them four? Remember to ask them for clarity around their rates, too. You’ll want to get your quotes inclusive of VAT, especially if you’re VAT-registered. Otherwise you may end up with a much bigger bill than expected.
You should already be keeping receipts for ‘work-related costs’ and ‘educational materials’. Providing your accountant is sex-worker friendly, they’ll be able to help you with this. One thing to note is that you can get tax-relief on your accountancy costs. So, when you’re discussing filing your tax before the end of the year, make sure you double check this is being done for you. It’s also worth noting that if you have other side-hustles, an Etsy, for example, you should mention this to your accountant to help with. Kill two birds with one stone. Although they’re two separate businesses, they’re still connected to your personal details.
