Summer highs & lows ☀️

Although if I’m being completely truthful, there haven’t been many lows 😂

Lots of time with the girls, park days, BBQs, shopping (obviously), a visit from the tooth fairy and both girls being super brave when getting their ears pierced 💕.

We also got to spend the day with Nat & Tom which was so lovely as we don’t get to see them nearly enough ❤️

And business has had some pretty exciting moments too.

Sales coming through for the template shop, getting messages from people telling me the trackers are already changing how they look at their finances, and signing the contract for our new team member Charlotte who joins us this month 🥹

I’ve also had loads of time off with the girls over the summer holidays.

Yes, they’ve driven me slightly crazy at times 😂 but I know I’ll miss these days when they’re older.

And this is a big part of what my dream life looks like.

I didn’t build my business just to earn more money.

I built it so I could have the freedom to actually enjoy my life as well.

More time with my family.

More days out.

More holidays.

And yes… apparently more handbags 😂

Your version of a dream life might look completely different to mine, and that’s exactly the point.

Your business should support the life YOU actually want. 💗

Upcoming UK financial dates to remember 👀

Because HMRC deadlines have a habit of coming around VERY quickly… usually when you feel like you only just dealt with the last one 😂

And with Making Tax Digital coming in from April 2026, there are a few more dates self-employed business owners need to have on their radar.

Save this post so you can come back to it when you need it 📌

Hearing Han talk about working with me honestly means the world. 🥺🤍

We’ve been working together for around 4 years now, and what a journey it has been.

When Han first came to me, she’d just started her business and was having £3k months.

Like so many business owners, she didn’t see herself as a “numbers person” and the thought of HMRC filled her with dread.

She wanted someone she could trust to help her understand what was going on behind the scenes, without all the jargon or feeling like she was being interrogated.

Fast forward to today…

Han has built a multi-six figure business.

She’s built and closed a six-figure agency.

Pivoted into coaching.

Had multiple five-figure launches.

And created a business that continues to evolve around the life she wants to live.

The thing I’m most proud of isn’t just the growth.

It’s knowing she’s been able to make those big decisions with confidence because she understands her numbers.

Every month we look at her sales, profit, expenses and cash flow together.

We make sure she’s paying herself what she wants.

We plan ahead instead of guessing.

And she never has to worry about what HMRC needs or whether she’s missed something, because it’s all taken care of.

That peace of mind is priceless.

Watching clients like Han grow over the years is exactly why I love what I do.

It’s never just about the accounts.

It’s about helping business owners feel calm, confident and in control so they can build a business that supports their dream life.

Thank you, Han, for trusting me to be part of your journey. I honestly can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings. 💕

One thing I hear all the time is…

“My business is busy, so I must be making good money.”

But being busy and being profitable are two very different things.

If you’re delivering your service, paying for software, covering team costs, spending hours on client work, and there’s not much left at the end of the month, that’s a sign it’s time to dig a little deeper.

Profit isn’t about how much money comes into your business.

It’s about how much is left after you’ve covered the costs of delivering your service.

And here’s the thing…

You don’t need to be scared of your numbers.

They’re simply giving you information.

When you understand which services are actually making you money, you can price with confidence, make better decisions, and build a business that supports your dream life - not one that leaves you feeling exhausted.

So let me ask you…

Do you actually know how profitable each of your services is, or are you making an educated guess?

Why we’re different (and why I think we’re better than most accountants)…

I know that’s a bold statement.

But I genuinely don’t believe your accountant’s job is just to file your accounts and send you a bill.

You deserve someone who explains things in plain English.

Someone who’s happy to answer your questions.

Someone who helps you understand your numbers instead of making you feel intimidated by them.

Someone who’s looking at where your business is going, not just where it’s been.

That’s exactly how we work at Harmony Accounting.

We’re proud to do things differently because our goal isn’t just to keep HMRC happy - it’s to help you feel calm, confident and in control of your business finances.

I’m Sam! I’m an Chartered Accountant and Financial Strategist (with a focus on Profit) for female service-providers running online businesses.

I’m based in Durham, England and only work with UK businesses.

I spent 18 years corporate finance world,before starting my accounting practice in 2022 (best decision ever!)

I am a mum to two girls & wife to Chris.

I have over 240 clients currently plus a full-time team member.

I’m big on personal development books and podcasts.⁠

I hate when female founders feel uncomfortable, shy or stupid asking their accountant a question (never in my world).

You’ll find me working out most mornings. ⁠

You won’t catch me using big words and financial jargon - because this doesn’t help anyone! ⁠

I also hate talking to HMRC (everyone does, you’re not alone)

I love clothes and shopping! ⁠My chanel bag is my baby.

My clients want to pay themselves well, never miss a tax deadline and not be scared to open their banking app.

My biggest success is days out with my family, having fun in the sunshine.

I pride myself that all of my clients sleep better and sell with confidence because of my support.

Have we got anything in common?

Meet Alice 💗

You might see me popping up on social media, but behind the scenes there is a whole lot more going on to keep Harmony Accounting running smoothly.

And a huge part of that is Alice.

Alice joined Harmony Accounting full-time in 2025 and honestly, hiring her was one of the best decisions I have made in the business.

She keeps so many moving parts running behind the scenes.

From onboarding new clients and making sure they have a smooth start with us.

To payroll, VAT returns, year end accounts and helping clients with Xero.

(And if we’re being honest, she is probably better at Xero than I am 🤣)

If something isn’t working in Xero, Alice can normally find the answer before I’ve even finished explaining the problem.

What I love most is that she cares just as much as I do about making sure clients feel supported, looked after and never afraid to ask questions.

Because that’s what Harmony Accounting is all about.

Making finances feel simple.

Giving people confidence.

And helping business owners feel calm and in control of their numbers.

So if you’ve ever emailed us, joined us as a client, had help with Xero or wondered how everything runs so smoothly behind the scenes, there’s a very good chance Alice had something to do with it.

I’m incredibly grateful she’s part of the team ❤️

Drop a 👋 in the comments and say hello to Alice!

You’re jealous of their £10k months.

Their sold out launches.

Their growing team.

Their fully booked diary.

But you’re only seeing the highlight reel.

What you don’t see is the refund request that landed this morning.

The client who cancelled.

The sleepless nights over cashflow.

The tax bill they weren’t prepared for.

Or the fact they’re making good money but not actually keeping much of it.

I see this all the time.

Because numbers tell a very different story to Instagram.

A business can look incredibly successful from the outside and still be struggling behind the scenes.

That’s why I always say - revenue is only one piece of the puzzle.

Profit matters.

Cashflow matters.

Understanding where your money is going matters.

Because your business isn’t meant to look successful.

It’s meant to support your life.

And when you understand your numbers properly, you stop comparing yourself to everyone else online and start making decisions based on what’s right for you.

The truth is, most business owners aren’t bad with numbers.

They’ve just never had them explained in a way that makes sense.

Have you ever looked at someone’s business online and thought “they’ve got it all figured out”?

Things I want to invest in this summer ☀️

This summer I’m investing in the things that actually make life feel rich:

✨ Drinks with friends
✨ Business books and podcasts that challenge my thinking
✨ Days out with the kids
✨ Staying strong and healthy
✨ Time in the sunshine
✨ Date nights and childcare 😂
✨ Making memories with my girls
✨ Working fewer hours and being more present

For years I thought success was about earning more.

Now I know it’s about creating a business that gives me the freedom to spend my time on the things that matter most.

Because what’s the point of building a profitable business if you never get to enjoy the life it’s meant to create?

What are you investing in this summer? 👇

Things you probably don’t know about me…..

“I joined the RAF
..then 2 car crashes later I met my husband.

I can’t bend my ring finger from those crashes.

I never cook, ever. That’s Chris’s job. I can do fajitas or a jacket potato but that’s it.

I don’t look after our own personal finances (I do enough looking at everyone elses)

I used to be notorious for booking tickets to events and then never go. They sounded like a good idea at the time but then... no thank you.

I used to be an online fitness coach before I started Harmony Accounting

I can’t eat eggs since having my two girls they make me sick!

I once got kicked off karoke in Spain with my bestie (yes we were terrible)

I really like Belted Galloway cows, look how cute.

I’m a shopaholic (but you may have known that!)

I’ve got tattoos but they’re all hidden (unless I’m in workout gear)

I don’t have a turnover goal, I have life goals. Being able to take my family on holiday, go to every school play and never work a full week.

I’ve got 244 accountancy clients (and growing!)
