From launching my website to Millie’s 21st birthday, heading to Accountex in London, client meals out and having a new beast of a bbq! The most gorgeous hot weather along with a bit of bookkeeping whilst heading to Wales. It’s a been a fab month 👌🏻 ☀️

I’d love to hear how yours has been?

Nothing humbles you quicker than checking your bank and finding a subscription you forgot existed 👀

Unused software. Old memberships. Duplicate apps. Random free trials.

One of the simplest money saving habits for business owners?

👉 Review your bank properly every month.
Not just for bookkeeping… but to spot the little leaks quietly draining your profit.

I do this regularly for my clients because knowing where your money is going makes running your business so much easier.

What’s the most random one you’ve found still coming out? Mine was an app for getting better sleep, the irony this week! ☀️😴

The honest answer?
Monthly as a minimum.
But if you want your numbers accurate, your stress lower and zero lastminute panic…weekly is better.
For some of my larger clients, I’m even in their books daily 👀
Why? Because bookkeeping works best when it’s kept moving, not left until the bank account looks scary and receipts have disappeared into the abyss 😅
✔️ Better cashflow visibility
✔️ Fewer mistakes
✔️ No end-of-month dread
✔️ Less stress for you
Having me do it will always make your life easier.
You focus on running the business… I’ll keep the numbers behaving 💗
How often are you doing yours right now ? weekly, monthly or “please don’t ask”?👇

Happy National Flower Day 🌸

And because I’m a bookkeeper… here’s your random tax fact of the day 💁🏼‍♀️

Buying flowers can fall under trivial benefits 🙌🏻

Meaning:
🌻 A small gift
🌻Not cash
🌻Not performance related
🌻Costs £50 or less

So yes… a surprise bouquet for your team, or just for you can be a lovely gesture AND tax efficient.

(We love a productive bunch of flowers around here 🌸)

If you want to know more about Trival Benefits get in touch today 💌

Also massive shoutout to my lovely friend opening her new florist business If you’ve never had a bunch of ‘ Hailey Flowers’ in your house you are missing out! 💐 🤍

🚨 3 bookkeeping mistakes I see small businesses make ALL the time

As an ICB bookkeeper, I see the same slip ups over and over again.

1. Mixing personal & business finances 💳 Your morning coffee run and your client invoice do NOT belong in the same account. Mixing the two is a one way ticket to messy books, missed deductions.

2. Not reconciling your accounts 📊 “I’ll check it later” said every business owner before a very unpleasant surprise. Reconciling regularly means you catch errors, spot fraud, and actually know where your money is.

3. Leaving EVERYTHING until tax season 😬Twelve months of receipts in a carrier bag is not a filing system. Staying on top of your books throughout the year saves you time, money, and a whole lot of panic come January.

Sound familiar? Let’s get that sorted.

Drop a 🙋 in the comments if you’ve been guilty of any of these! And if your books need some love, my DMs are open. 📩
