Then and Now
In 2002, during a golden (and evergreen) year in the UK, ICS began to support contractors and freelancers with their accountancy, tax and payroll. With the analogue-to-digital tech transition underway, we continued to transform and adapt to the changing regulatory and financial landscapes and to date we proudly support contractors, freelancers and businesses across the UK.
Why Choose Us
Led by our guiding principles of trust, care and compliance, we’ve embraced technology whilst continuing to take a person centred approach. Whether you use our online chat, send an email or pick up the phone, you’ll be speaking to a person who is proud to work for ICS.
Proud to have been named Best Contractor Accountancy in 2024 and 2025 at the prestigious Contracting Awards.
Compliance
Compliance is something that we have to embed across the business. We’ve been FCSA accredited since 2017 and are audited by them annually. In 2025 we became SafeRec certified meaning our payroll and payslips undergo independent, real-time auditing. We’re also an ACCA Approved Employer and CIMA Member in Practice.
Trust, Care, Compliance
ICS Accounting was founded on three main principles:
Trust
Since 2002 we have been trusted by hundreds of recruitment agencies and thousands of contractors, freelancers and small business owners.
Care
We are here to help you enjoy the benefits of working as a contractor or running your own business without worrying about paperwork, administrative tasks and legislation.
Compliance
We ensure our solutions remain fully compliant with all current legislation.
