Accountants for Lorry/HGV Drivers (UK)

Please note that we only work with UK residents.

As a HGV driver you understand the importance of planning and logistics, and when it comes to doing your taxes, that knowledge will definitely come in handy. Your days are often long and tiring, with time spent on planning, loading and unloading, taking inventory and more, so finding the time and energy to keep on top of your finances can be a daunting thought.

Further to this, if you’re just starting out as a HGV driver, weighing up the pros and cons of working under an umbrella company or setting up as a limited company can be a minefield to navigate. At Dead Simple Accounting, we understand the challenges and unique requirements HGV Drivers face when it comes to their accounting.

At Dead Simple Accounting we’re true to our name, and can guide you through the entire process, ensuring you’re claiming back anything that you’re rightfully owed.

It’s likely that your glove box is filled with receipts of potential expenses, and if you don’t work for a company or umbrella company that sorts this for you, you could be missing out on a considerable amount.
