Why Choose
SW Friendly Accountants
Hi, I’m Beth.
I’ve worked in payroll and tax since leaving school and hold qualifications from CIPP, AAT, and CIPD. Over the years, I’ve supported clients from all walks of life — including those in industries that aren’t always fully understood by traditional accountants.
I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your finances — someone who’s professional, discreet, and never judgmental. My role is to help you feel confident about your money, stay compliant, and find simple, stress-free ways to manage your business.
"Because you deserve an accountant who understands your world - without judgment,
with complete discretion, and with your
success at heart"~ Beth
FAQ'S
Do sex workers need to register as self-employed in the UK?
Yes. Most sex workers and adult content creators in the UK are classed as self-employed and must register with HMRC, submit an annual Self Assessment tax return, and pay Income Tax and National Insurance on their profits.
What expenses can sex workers and adult content creators claim?
Allowable business expenses may include advertising, platform fees, costumes, makeup, photography, website costs, accounting fees, home office costs, travel for work, and professional subscriptions, provided they are wholly and exclusively for business use.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. SW Friendly Accountants provides fully confidential, non-judgmental accounting services. Client data is handled securely in line with UK data protection regulations, and your profession is treated with the same privacy and respect as any other business.
Do OnlyFans and online creators have to pay tax in the UK?
Yes. Income from platforms such as OnlyFans, Fansly, and similar sites is taxable in the UK and must be declared to HMRC through Self Assessment if you are self-employed.
How does Making Tax Digital affect self-employed workers?
From April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax will require many self-employed individuals and landlords to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC using compatible software instead of filing just one annual tax return.
