Welcome to Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd!
Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd specialises in providing accountancy services for contractors and freelancers in the UK.
Our journey started in 1998 when John Payne, an IT Contractor at the time, grew frustrated at the lack of contractor-focused financial services. As a result, he and his wife Louise set up Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd – one of the UK’s first contractor accountants. Over 25 years’ later, Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd has earned a reputation as one of the leading contractor accountants in the marketplace. This is thanks to our dedication to customer service and our commitment to compliance.
Since the day we launched, we’ve introduced new services to help business owners, including SME accountancy, CIS limited company accountancy and specialist accountancy services for UK-based landlords.
Our sister company, Churchill Knight Umbrella has quickly become one of the most recognised and respected umbrella companies in the sector. If you are a contractor or freelancer looking for an FCSA accredited and SafeRec certified umbrella, please visit the Churchill Knight Umbrella website now for a free and quick take-home pay calculation.

Please give our friendly and professional Sales Consultants a call on 01707 871622 or complete the short form here to send us a message.
