I highly doubt you'd ask this question without being a successful freelance web developer. So instead of talking to you about skills, I can offer some business finance advice in general: CONTROL YOUR FINANCES!
I've learned a lot from the Easy Numbers blog (http://billysbillings.com/blog) by Billy's Billing. They share financial advice for entrepreneurs – including freelancers. A great way to save money from having to hire an accountant because you'll know what to do for yourself. Best of luck!
I couldn't recommend hiring an accountant enough. They remove a fair amount of stress from what you do and they will save you money. You may have to pay them £80 a month, but that will pay for itself.
I don't normally plug services but there's a guy I've been using in the UK who's great [0]. He gives you a xero account to make things nice and easy.
I'd like to ask, when in your freelance career do you consider appropriate hiring an accountant, at what $ point. Currently the only time I feel the need to do it is by the end of the year to do taxes. I'm surely missing something, some advice on this would be grateful, thx.
