You don´t need any pre-knowledge. As a sole trader or freelancer remember, that managing your business finances is just part of your job. Ignoring it can result in nasty surprises. Not to mention that not knowing how much you’re earning or spending can make it impossible to know if you’re making the most of your time.

Since graduating with a business degree over 12 years ago I have been helping businesses grow, by sorting their finances and providing great advice. In 2014 I became a Chartered Certified Accountant and have worked in various sized accountancy firms, from traditional top 20, to up and coming online accountants.

This resulted in 2015 being recognised in Accountancy Age's 35 under 35 and a year later in 2016 awarded the New Practitioner of Year, at the British Accountancy Awards.

I specialise in helping fast-growing businesses get a grip with their accounting, tax and financial processes. It can be a minefield, with an endless count of buzzwords and acronyms.
