our community
Beyond the Tax Man
people Who’d Rather Create
A place for creatives to help other creatives
A space to swap skills, share wins, ask questions, and build something bigger than your solo desk.
why it exists
because the tax man hates teamwork
Our industry thrives when we all play our part
Clients disappear, deadlines pile up, inspiration dips, but the community keeps moving. We built this space so you’re never alone.
the big slack channel
Your new creative HQ
We run a big, buzzing Slack channel for UK creatives, and you’re invited.
Everyone’s welcome. Freelancers, studios, side-hustlers, old pros, total beginners, if you make things, you belong here.
what makes us different
A real creative network that actually works
No sales spam. No empty hustle vibes. Just a solid community helping each other get better work, better clients, and support.
No big egos
Everyone shows up to support, not show off, you’ll get honest advice, real help, and none of the big-talk energy that slows creatives down.
No noise
We keep the feed clean and useful, so you only see the conversations, briefs and tips that genuinely help you move forward.
No gatekeeping
Opportunities, knowledge, and connections are open to everyone. No cliques, no barriers, no “you must know someone” nonsense.
No lone wolves
Even if you’re freelancing from your sofa, the community gives you a team behind you, a place to ask, learn, vent, and celebrate wins.
support
We do the boring bits so you can focus on creativity
Tax, accounts, payroll, IR35, Sorted
Don’t panic about finances while you’re pitching, creating, or collaborating. We keep HMRC quiet; the community keeps you going.
