Gorilla Accounting is a forward-thinking, technology-driven solution to all your accountancy needs. We specialise in the delivery of accounting services for the self-employed including contractors, freelancers and small business owners.
Gorilla Accounting was founded in 2015 after a group of specialist accountants, with decades of experience between them, decided that accounting shouldn’t be a laborious process packed with incomprehensible jargon, extortionate charges, hidden fees and an accountant that’s never to be seen.
Gorilla’s founders have strong backgrounds in accountancy and corporate finance with vast experience in the small business and start up environments. We were once a startup ourselves and we understand the challenges that small business owners can face, including finding the right accountant in a saturated industry.

Our accountancy packages are tailored for the self-employed and small business owners and our accountants have vast experience across a wide range of sectors. When you appoint Gorilla, you’ll work with your own dedicated accountant who will be on hand to offer you unlimited support and advice.
Our fees are transparent with no hidden surprises and for a great value fixed monthly fee, all your accounting needs will be taken care of. Our service includes preparation and submission of financial statements, corporation tax returns, quarterly VAT returns and preparation and submission of one basic self-assessment tax return.

If you’re a sole trader, the calculator can give you an indication of how much your take home pay could increase if you incorporate and split your remuneration between a combination of salary and draw the rest down as dividends.
IR35 is a UK tax initiative designed to reduce tax avoidance by tackling disguised employment. The aim is to prevent employers from engaging employees on a contract basis to avoid providing employment benefits and paying Employers National Insurance Contributions.
It’s important to correctly establish whether you are operating inside or outside IR35 to ensure you pay the correct amount of tax on your income and to avoid penalties from HMRC. Gorilla have partnered with IR35 specialists Qdos who can help you successfully navigate the complex IR35 rules by reviewing your contract and working practices to provide an opinion on your IR35 status and to help ensure you remain compliant.
