Control Your Accounts with Gorilla

Gorilla Accounting is a technology driven, accountancy solution. We specialise in the delivery of services for freelancers, contractors and small businesses.

Gorilla Accounting was born after a group of specialist accountants with decades of experience amongst them, decided that accounting shouldn’t be a laborious process packed with incomprehensible jargon, extortionate charges and a personal accountant that’s never to be seen.

Limited Company Formation

When becoming a contractor, there will be several ways that you can choose to operate. One possible route that should be considered would be to work as a limited company director. If you are looking to be contracting for over three months and are earning more than 25,000 annually then a limited company may be more suitable as you will benefit most from the tax planning opportunities available. We can offer guidance which will help towards setting up a limited company which you can take a look at on our website.

I worked with them to setup my company, run my company, and at the end, close down my... company. Really responsive, amazing communication, incredibly patient when I wanted to understand how taxes work in detail. Working with other contractors I could see how different other places were, up to the point of finding myself helping out with the first VATs and things like that because, no, accountants so helpful and responsive are not the norm! If I ever open a company again, I will come back, no doubtread more

Having a direct line to your accountant for any questions or clarifications was exactly what you look for in a accountant. Nathan was always available knowledgeable and assisted me in anyway he could. Highly recommend and did recommend many others to Gorilla during my use of the service.read more

Having been with Gorilla for the past two years, overall I can say they have been great, especially... compared to my previous accountant whom I was with for 6 years. My accountant Emily has been highly professional and patient throughout, and responded to all queries and questions very quickly. I'd recommend to any contractor, especially with FreeAgent bundled in, which is a brilliant piece of software.read more

Gorilla Accounting has been exceptional from start to finish. Thoroughly recommended for those who... haven't worked as a contractor before (as was the case for me), their staff are always responsive, helpful and professional yet friendly. Couldn't have asked for better accountants! Thank you Daniel for all your help!read more

Compared to my previous accountant, working with Gorilla has been a completely different... experience. Gorilla use industry leading tools which provides them with the perfect platform to provide an excellent service. With Gorilla, I never had to worry - all returns and accounts were completed accurately, and on time. I never had to chase anything! Any questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly. Sadly, new ways of working mean that I've had to close my company and no longer need the services of an accountant. However, even then Gorilla did a brilliant job at helping me to close the company. Thanks again Katie and Hannah. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you!read more
