Established in 2002, ICS has been supporting contractors, freelancers and small business owners across the UK for over 20 years. Our ethos of trust, care and compliance enable you to focus on your job without the task of endless paperwork, ensuring you are operating compliantly.
Umbrella Solution
The ICS Umbrella solution provides an employment solution for independent workers, taking the stress out of contracting. ICS Umbrella will process your pay either weekly or monthly, paying relevant Tax and NI liabilities to HMRC and the rest to yourself, ensuring you’re paid accurately and on time. As an employee of ICS Umbrella, you will receive full employment rights including holiday pay and statutory sick pay, and access to our extensive benefits portal featuring huge discounts on the high street and online shopping. In addition, employees gain access to our wellbeing portal – providing education, support and tools to be the best version of yourself at home and at work.

Our team of accountants get to know your business goals and are there to support you in achieving them. You’ll have a dedicated personal accountant who is just an email or phone call away whenever you need them, offering jargon-free advice to help you stay in control of your money. To give you further clarity we provide FreeAgent cloud accounting software which allows you and your accountant to work together in real-time, reducing paperwork and saving time. As a freelancer or contractor we know how precious your time is. Put your trust in ICS Accounting for a service you can rely on, and free up time for yourself or to build your business.
Self-Employment & CIS (Construction Industry Scheme)
We introduced the ICS CIS Arrangement to help contractors that wish to provide services within the Construction Industry Scheme. By engaging with us as a self-employed individual or sub-contractor, you can benefit from having a dedicated account manager working with you, access to fully qualified in-house accountants and discounted self-assessment, without the burden of endless paperwork.

Our PEO Solution provides an umbrella alternative employment solution for recruitment agencies or end clients by employing a contractor directly, taking care of the employer responsibilities such as employment rights and payroll payments to HMRC pension contributions. Workers gain full employment rights including holiday pay and sick pay, and access to our extensive benefits portal featuring huge discounts on the high street and online shopping. In addition, employees gain access to our wellbeing portal – providing education, support and tools to be the best version of themselves at home and at work.
