✨Are you tracking these expenses in your business?!

It’s easy to hit “purchase” or sign up for a subscription payment and forget to record it. But not keeping track of how much you are spending on home office expenses means you could be paying more tax than you need to! 💰

Side note - this is why it’s important to separate your personal from business expenses and reconcile your accounts each month so you don’t miss anything 😉

Here are examples of some home office expenses that you don't want to forget:
💲Stationery
💲Printing costs (including postage, the printer and ink cartridges)
💲Utilities (such as electricity, heating and water bills)
💲Phone, mobile & internet bills
💲Office furniture (e.g. your desk, a comfy desk chair!)
💲New equipment like your desktop or laptop
💲Educational books or training courses
💲Subscriptions (like your website host fee, domain, canva…)

📣 CALLING ALL SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS!!

Don't fall for the misconception that your business is too small to benefit from a bookkeeper! 📚💼

Whether you're a one-person show or a budding startup, having a bookkeeper on your team can be a game-changer. Here's why:

✅ Say goodbye to the overwhelm: Bookkeepers are experts at handling financial tasks, freeing up your time to focus on what you do best—running your business!

✅ Accuracy is key: Even small businesses can benefit from detailed financial records. A bookkeeper ensures your numbers are accurate, helping you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

✅ Simplify your taxes: No more scrambling to get your finances in order come tax season. A bookkeeper keeps everything organised, making filing your tax returns a breeze.

So, if you've been hesitating because you think your business is too small, think again!

Worried about cost? My prices will ALWAYS reflect the transaction volume of your business so you will never be paying more than you should.

Here are my 3 top tips to help you keep your business finances in order this year:

1. Record all of your income and expenses in one place 📝
Using cloud accounting tools like Xero or Freeagent is the easiest way to do this, but a spreadsheet will do the trick as long as you keep it updated regularly.

2. Get a separate business bank account 💰
Whether your business is big or small, having a separate business bank account is key. There are tons of free options available now online, my personal favourites are the business bank accounts offered by Starling and Mettle!

3. Save for your taxes throughout the year 👛
Lots of bank accounts offer a separate tax savings pot which will stash away a percentage of your earnings each month for taxes without you even noticing. So when the time to pay your tax bill rolls around, you’ve got it covered, stress-free!

If you're curious about starting with cloud accounting but don't know where to begin, reach out. I'll help you get your account set up and provide training to get you started hassle-free.
