If your a sole trader check out these workshops. Nicole is a fantastic accountant who simplifies everything!

Are you a sole trader who wants to learn more about the financial obligations about being in business?

These workshops are made for new or old business owners who need to learn the basics about their accounting and tax obligations as sole traders. The information is broken down into a digestible and easy to understand format. You will feel less overwhelmed and more in control of your financials after doing the workshop and you might even start monthly bookkeeping 🤣💅 The aim is to bridge the gap between starting a business and needing an accountant to do your first tax return.

Book my website (see Events tab). The cost of the workshop is tax deductible too. It is half sold already so early booking is recommended.

Let me know in the comments if you have any questions about the workshop 👇

Feedback from recent workshops include:
– What I thought was a scary topic, Nicole broke down into really easy-to-understand, bitesize pieces that made it less scary! I feel really equipped to manage daily accounting.

– Everything was explained so clearly and the content was spot on for a sole trader.

– Thank you for answering my questions in an easy to understand way and making tax less frightening! I’m looking forward to sitting down and getting my books up to date so that I can actually see how my business is doing financially.

– Loved the simplicity and how you spoke like a real person, not in accounting jargon. Made it easier to understand & follow. The pace was good too – you didn’t rush & answers peoples questions as they arose. You explained things simply which is very important as I find this area hard to understand. Keep doing that!

It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year again “Pension season”. You may wonder what is the importance of the tax deadline for pensions. Basically, it’s the last opportunity to claim back tax for the previous year gone by. You now have the opportunity to pay a lumpsum to your pension and claim immediate tax back or in the case your self employed reduce your tax bill! Example: If you are liable for tax @40% (A singlely assessed person earning more than €35,300 per year or a married couple earning combined income of over €70,600 per year)then for every €100 you contribute to pension you will save €40 on tax. If you are liable for tax at 20% you will still save €20 on each €100 contributed.What’s even better is this money grows free of tax and a generous amount can be drawn out tax free on retirement. Pensions can under some circumstances be accessed from age 50 and in most circumstances from age 60. These are some of the reasons I love retirement planning, this and seeing people enjoy the benefit of having built up a pension, knowing they can retire without the worry of money and afford to live comfortably. I would love to help you understand your pension options so please if you have any questions get in touch!

These are not just claim statistics, these numbers represent people and families who needed to avail of their protection policies last year! Nobody wants to think about the worst case scenario but It is so important to have a plan in place as we don’t know what’s around the corner.When your world has been turned upside down by illness or death you would think money would be the last thing on your mind but sadly its a big worry for people. Having a protection plan can help ensure a life crisis doesn't become a financial crisis and give you and your loved ones time to focus on what really matters! Have you plan in place? I am happy to advise on your protection options

Check out the below pension feature in todays Irish Independent. I chatted with Sinead Ryan about why it pays to start pension funding early. We also discuss the understandable reasons many leave it on the long finger too long and why it's important to get timely advice so you can make the most of tax relief and grow your money. Let me know how you feel about Pensions and if I can help answer any questions!

It can be difficult to mentally project yourself forward while you're still enjoying (or struggling in) your 20s or 30s, and most of us put off thinking about things like retirement, with good reason. But by the time you get to 45, you only have 240 paydays left, s...

The below article may be helpful for anyone facing a tax bill right now. Pension is one available option to reduce your tax bill, with the added bonus of having extra income set aside for your retirement.

I am more than happy to help you assess your situation and figure out the best plan for you. Many tell me they wish they started their pension sooner but didn't understand their options or know where to start. If this is you, get in touch. I can help!
