    We know how oil & gas contracting works

    Drilling, subsea, wells, HSE, commissioning, marine crew or wind-farm work — if you contract in the energy sector on a day rate through your own limited company, your accounting has quirks most accountants never see: rotations, agency and operator chains, overseas stints and long stretches where you can’t get to paperwork.

    We work with oil & gas and offshore contractors on UK and international assignments. Your company stays compliant and tax-efficient whether you’re on shift in the North Sea or on your weeks off at home. We also work with engineering contractors across rail, civil and renewables.

    Questions

    Oil & gas contractor accounting FAQs

    Do you work with offshore contractors on rotation?
    Yes. Many of our oil & gas clients work rotations — 2/2, 3/3 or ad hoc trips. FreeAgent makes it easy to keep on top of invoices and expenses from anywhere, and your dedicated accountant handles the rest while you’re away.
    I take contracts overseas — Norway, the Middle East, further afield. Can you help?
    We can. Overseas assignments affect your residence position and how your income is taxed, and the rules differ by country and contract. Talk to us before you sign and we’ll make sure nothing is missed.
    Is my oil & gas contract caught by IR35?
    It depends on the contract and your working practices. Our complimentary IR35 service includes unlimited contract reviews and a yearly assessment of your working practices, included in your monthly fee.
    Do you act for energy companies?
    Our specialism is individual contractors working through their own limited companies in the energy sector — not energy suppliers or operators. If you’re a contractor in oil & gas, offshore or renewables, you’re exactly who we work with.
    Can you help me switch from my current accountant?
    Yes, and it’s free. Give us your current accountant’s details and we’ll contact them to initiate the transfer and handle it for you.
    What does it cost?
    Our core limited company service is £159+VAT per month on a 30-day rolling basis. Some specialist or one-off work may sit outside the monthly fee — we’ll always be clear on any extra costs up front. See full pricing →
