What We Offer
Three services.
One clear focus.
Foldmark offers accounting support built specifically for self-employed work. Each service has a defined scope, a transparent price, and the same careful approach applied consistently throughout.
Defined scope
Each service has a clear description of what's included. No vague packages or unanticipated add-ons.
Transparent pricing
Prices are stated clearly. You know the full cost before any work begins — no estimates that shift later.
Built for self-employment
All three services are designed specifically around freelance and contractor income patterns — not adapted from general small-business templates.

Freelancers
Writers, designers, developers, consultants, and other independent professionals with variable project income and multiple client engagements throughout the year.
Independent contractors
Sole traders and 1099 contractors who receive payments without withholding and need to manage their own quarterly payment obligations and annual filings.
Self-employed professionals
Coaches, therapists, educators, tradespeople, and others operating as sole proprietors who want organised accounts and clear annual returns without managing it themselves.
