Yesterday I met a lady I had not seen since 2017.

Back then, I used to take her swimming. Then life got busy, our paths went different ways and Covid happened.

She told me she went on to learn to drive so she could continue swimming independently. She has now even set up a women’s swimming group and is helping other women gain confidence too.

I was genuinely touched and humbled. We often do not realise the impact a small act of support can have on someone else’s life.

It also reminded me why I love what I do through AFR Accountancy Services Ltd. Whether it is swimming or running a business, confidence and encouragement can help people become more independent and achieve things they never thought possible.

Sometimes the smallest actions create the biggest ripple effects.

I am incredibly excited to be part of the team helping relaunch AAT Derby after a number of years.

For me, this is more than just an event.

Some of my most valuable experiences as an AAT member came from attending Derby branch events. They gave me the opportunity to learn from others, build my confidence and connect with people who understood the challenges and opportunities of working in accountancy.

I have always hoped to see our local AAT community thriving again, so being involved in bringing events back to Derby is something I am genuinely passionate about.

That is why I am delighted to invite you to our first event.

We have an outstanding panel joining us:

✨ Natasha Everard, Founder of The Maverick Revolution
✨ Chris Downing from Sage
✨ Craig Dyer FMAAT, AAT Vice President

Together they will be discussing how AI is shaping the future of accounting and what it means for our profession.

📅 Tuesday 30 June 2026
🕡 6.30pm to 7.30pm
💻 Online via Microsoft Teams
🎓 Free CPD and networking

Book your free place here:
https://www.aatevents.org.uk/aatevents/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=329560&eventID=1075&traceRedir=2

The event is open to all AAT members, but I would especially love to see members from Derby and the surrounding area supporting the return of our local branch.

Please help spread the word by sharing this post with fellow AAT members.

I am really looking forward to hearing from our fantastic speakers, reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new members as we begin this exciting new chapter for AAT Derby.

Will you be joining us? 😊

This morning on my walk, I found myself reflecting on how much can change in a few years.

When I started AFR Accountancy Services Ltd, I simply wanted to help people feel more confident about their finances. I never imagined the wonderful clients, connections and opportunities that would come from taking that first step.

Today, I am feeling grateful.

Grateful for the clients who trust me with their businesses.

Grateful for the people who recommend me to their friends and family.

Grateful for the colleagues, fellow business owners and volunteers who continue to inspire me.

Running a business is not always easy. There are busy days, challenging days and days when you question yourself. But there are also moments that remind you why you started.

Today is one of those days.

What is one thing you are grateful for this week?

Not every day has to be a big achievement.

Some days are about showing up.
Some days are about doing your best with the energy you have.
Some days are about resting and starting again tomorrow.

If today feels difficult, remember that progress is not always visible. Every small action, every lesson learned and every challenge overcome is helping you move forward.

Be kind to yourself.

You are doing better than you think.

Keep going. Your future self will thank you for not giving up.

You started your business because you are passionate about what you do.

You probably did not start it because you love bookkeeping, tax returns and spreadsheets.

If keeping on top of your finances feels overwhelming, please know you are not alone.

Many of the women I work with are brilliant at what they do but struggle to find the time, confidence or headspace to manage the accounts side of their business.

That is where I can help.

At AFR Accountancy Services Ltd, I explain things in plain English, answer your questions without judgement and help you understand your numbers so you can focus on growing your business.

You do not need to figure it all out on your own.

What is the one thing about your business finances that you wish someone would explain more clearly?

This morning I had the pleasure of attending the AAT Leicester Branch tax update with Michael Steed.

Michael needs no introduction. As the only Past President of both AAT and ATT, he is someone I truly respect and always enjoy learning from. His knowledge, experience and ability to explain complex tax matters in a practical and engaging way are second to none.

I left the session feeling inspired and with plenty of valuable insights to take back into my work.

It was also lovely to meet and connect with fellow AAT colleagues. One of the things I value most about being part of the AAT community is the opportunity to learn from others, share experiences and build professional relationships.

A huge thank you to Michael and the Leicester Branch team for such an informative and enjoyable morning.

Some days it feels like there are not enough hours in the day.

You are serving clients, replying to emails, looking after your family and trying to keep up with the never ending paperwork.

If your bookkeeping has slipped down the priority list, please do not worry.

Many business owners feel exactly the same.

The important thing is getting the support you need before it becomes stressful.

At AFR Accountancy Services Ltd, I help small business owners understand their finances in a simple and friendly way, giving them confidence and peace of mind.

Have you been putting off your bookkeeping because it feels overwhelming?

You are not alone.

Many business owners start their business because they are passionate about what they do, not because they enjoy spreadsheets and tax returns.

If your accounts are sitting on your to do list causing stress, it might be time to ask for support.

At AFR Accountancy Services Ltd, I help busy business owners understand their numbers in a simple and friendly way without the jargon.

So you can spend less time worrying about paperwork and more time focusing on growing your business.

What is the one thing in your business that you keep putting off?

Running a business can feel overwhelming at times especially when you are trying to manage clients, family life and finances all at once.

One thing I always remind my clients is this:

You do not need to understand everything about tax and accounts to run a successful business.

That is what support is for.

Keeping your bookkeeping up to date little and often can help reduce stress, avoid surprises and make year end accounts much easier.

Even setting aside 10 minutes a week to check your bank transactions or upload receipts can make a huge difference.

Be kind to yourself. Business is a journey and nobody gets everything perfect.

It has been a little quiet on here recently.

Life and business have both been very full and sometimes social media has to take a back seat whilst you focus on the people and work in front of you.

Over the last few months I have been supporting clients with bookkeeping, accounts, tax returns and lots of behind the scenes business support whilst also balancing work, family life and volunteering commitments.

One thing I am constantly reminded of is this.

So many business owners are carrying far more than people realise.

Running a business is not just about numbers. It is about confidence, courage and trying to hold everything together whilst still showing up every day.

That is why AFR Accountancy Services Ltd will always aim to be approachable friendly and reassuring.

No judgement.
No complicated jargon.
Just support from someone who genuinely cares.

If you are feeling behind with your bookkeeping or overwhelmed with your accounts, please know you are not alone.
