Why financially irresponsible? Many companies have irregular income. There are also plenty of good companies with regular income as well so not much of a test. And indications of running a company don't mean anything IR35 wise really. It did when the old Business Entity Tests were about but not really since.

read further back - I was referring to deliberately holding back submitting invoices to get a fun ‘payday’ by submitting months worth at once. That’s invoking at least some risk

Not even then because a IR35 tribunal would look at the contract and see how contrived it was when the contract says payment on Friday for a timesheet sent on Tuesday

That's why I said might. Even so, the chances of being investigated are slim to none.
