Accountants for Barristers and Legal Professionals

Working as a barrister, we know you have an eye for fine detail and an appreciation for the importance of getting things just right – but we also know how hard you’re working in any case. As long-term accountants for barristers, we know that fewer than one in five barristers works for a firm rather than being self-employed, and we know just how complex your returns can be, especially as tax legislation continues to evolve.

At ICS Accounting we recognise how important it is for self-employed legal professionals to take the hassle and the time out of keeping on top of your finances – without sacrificing accuracy.

Our all-inclusive accountancy package offers financial and logistical management to support barristers and other legal professionals – and it’s backed by a £400 cashback offer.

As a barrister, you will recognise how important it is to your clients to have an expert handling their legal affairs. As contractor accountants, we can tell you the same is true for your accounts.

You can get digital access to your finances and personal telephone support for just £145 per month ex VAT.

What Can Specialist Barrister Accountants Do for You?

Our packages have a set price but that doesn’t mean the service we offer is one size fits all. Instead, we’ll focus on the most important and relevant aspects to your practice.

You’ll have unlimited access to our cloud-based accounting platform, FreeAgent, allowing you to see the current state of your finances at a glance.

We make sure that you’re assigned an accountant who understands your industry but, just as importantly, one who can focus on you.
