Working in the aviation industry is full of unique financial challenges, particularly for pilots working on a self-employed basis or through their own limited company.

There has been a significant increase in demand for airline pilot contractors over recent years as more and more private and commercial airlines look to take on independent contract pilots.

Equally, there are a number of pilots who prefer to operate as contractors until they find an employer that they're happy to commit to over the long term.

Managing your finances in this demanding environment can be tricky business, particularly whilst trying to establish a growing client base and relationship building with partners.

At Gorilla Accounting, our expertise has seen us working with pilots from across the UK, from the initial business incorporation and bank account creation to preparing annual tax returns and HMRC records checks.

Unlimited access to your Dedicated Accountant

Once you've completed the initial steps of registering with Gorilla Accounting, you'll be allocated a dedicated personal accountant who will work with you to understand each independent facet of your business.

Unlike other similar online accountancy services for pilots, you'll have a direct dial telephone number that you can use to reach out to your accountant throughout the week. This unlimited service falls in line with our transparent structure so you'll never be charged additional fees for advice.

As a 360 degree accountancy service, we can help with:

• Incorporating your business with Companies House
• VAT returns
• Business bank account creation
• Corporation Tax returns
• Payroll (where needed for up to two employees)
• Dividend documentation
• Tax planning advice
• Reminder services for deadlines and payments
• Quarterly review of bookkeeping data
