Who this is for

Built for founders, creators, and high earners

This guide is for UK-based business owners who are earning enough that the tax system is materially affecting their wealth — and who want a proper, defensible answer on what to do about it.

Founders earning six or seven figures who are watching their tax bill grow and want a legitimate way out.
Online content creators with global income who are tired of UK rates eating into earnings they generate worldwide.
Agency owners and consultants who have heard about Dubai but do not understand whether it actually works for their situation.
High earners who have been told to "just move offshore" and know that advice is dangerously incomplete.
UK founders who want to relocate but need to understand the three pillars before making any decisions they cannot reverse.

What is inside

The three pillars of offshore setup

Most offshore advice covers one pillar. This guide covers all three — because getting any one of them wrong invalidates the whole structure.

01

Where the company is incorporated

The jurisdictions that actually work for UK founders, why Dubai is not always the right answer, and the specific structures that hold up under HMRC scrutiny.

02

Where you live

The residency rules that determine your personal tax liability, the days-counted thresholds that catch people out, and the practical steps to establish residency that is recognised, not assumed.

03

Where the company is deemed to be managed and controlled from

The pillar most "just move offshore" advice ignores. Why a Dubai company run from your London flat is still a UK tax-resident company, and how to structure management and control correctly.

What founders say

From people who read it and restructured properly

"I'd been told for two years to 'just set up in Dubai.' Elliot's guide was the first thing that actually explained why that advice was wrong for my situation and what the right structure looked like. I've since restructured properly."

James, agency founder

"I'm a content creator earning across multiple countries and my old accountant had no answer for me. Make Accounting Simple gave me a structure that's defensible and saves me a six-figure tax bill every year."

"The three-pillar framework is the clearest explanation of offshore setup I've read. It saved me from making a move that would have cost me far more than it saved."

About the founder

Hi, I’m Elliot

I'm the founder of Make Accounting Simple, a modern remote-first accounting firm based in London. I'm ACCA-qualified and built my foundational experience at Grant Thornton before launching my own practice with my business partner Adam. We work with UK founders, online content creators, and high earners who need clear, jargon-free advice on tax structure, residency, and offshore setup. I built this guide because almost every founder I speak to has been given incomplete advice about offshore structuring; incomplete advice in this area is expensive. This is the full picture, in plain English, free.
