Hello, am new here and just getting started with contracting. Have a few questions, would appreciate any thoughts:
1. How do you organise all the paperwork? Can anyone recommend a way to file letters, HMRC forms, expenses, receipts, etc that works for them? Also, what method of organising files on your computer works well?
2. How well do you separate your personal communication from your work-related communication e.g. separate email address, separate mobile number, etc?
3. Other than your main contract, do any of you have any side business activities that maybe you do over the weekend or spare time? Would love to know how many do this, or would like to do this? Also, specifically I'm curious if your accountant handles the other businesses (I'm with one of the big contractor accountants, and I dont think they do handle anything other than your main contract).
Many thanks in advance.
