Accounting Built Around How You Actually Work
A start-up founder, a contractor, and an online seller each face different deadlines, different HMRC rules, and different questions. Protax structures its support around the sector you work in, rather than offering the same generic service to everyone.
Below are the sectors we support most often. Fixed fees are agreed based on your specific services and circumstances, not a generic sector rate.
What is sector-specific accounting? It means an accountant tailors your record-keeping, tax planning, and deadline management to the rules that actually apply to your business type, for example IR35 for contractors, or overseas VAT thresholds for online sellers, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Understand your circumstances
We start by understanding your business structure, income sources, and any sector-specific obligations before recommending anything.
Agree a fixed fee
Once we understand the scope of work, we agree a fixed fee before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Ongoing, sector-aware support
Your point of contact stays familiar with the deadlines and rules relevant to your sector throughout the year, not just at filing time.

Sector Support FAQs
Do you only work with limited companies?
No. Protax works with sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies. The right structure depends on your circumstances, and we can advise on this as part of our support.
What if my sector is not listed on this page?
This page covers the sectors we support most often, but we work with a wide range of businesses and individuals. If you cannot see your sector, get in touch and we will confirm whether we are a good fit.
Do your fees vary by sector?
Fees are based on the services you need and the complexity of your affairs rather than your sector alone. We agree a fixed fee before any work begins.
Can you support businesses that span more than one sector?
Yes. Many clients have overlapping circumstances, such as a contractor who also lets a property, and we structure our support around the whole picture rather than a single label.
