🌻 Every one of our accounting packages includes a tax planning meeting at least 3 months before your year end.

These pre year-end meetings ensure our clients are properly prepared with tailored tax planning guidance, so they keep more of the money they make.

Clients on our Full Bloom package also attend quarterly meetings and goal setting sessions with us.

In these meetings we produce budgets and forecasts, review personal and business goals, set intentions, and hold you accountable for what you want to achieve.

🌻The government is not coming to save you.

As a small business owner, you have to roll up your sleeves and make your business work for you.

It's essential you:

🌻 Have a business and marketing plan

Without one, you're throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something youh sticks.

🌻 Know your numbers

Costs are rising.

Do you know your overheads, your break-even point, your sales targets?

When you understand your numbers, your marketing plan has purpose and direction.

🌻 Empower your team to think like entrepreneurs

You're all in this together.

Everyone needs to contribute to the solution.

At Sunflower, we meet regularly with our business planning clients.

We're a valued member of their team - their go-to for advice when they need it.

The first thing I do with every new client is take them through my 60-Minute Profit Plan.

This exercise uncovers the exact revenue their business needs to generate to cover their costs.

Knowing your break-even point means you can set realistic sales targets, and build confident profit margins.

This is the foundation every business owner needs to grow profitably and stop guessing.

That clarity shouldn't be reserved for my clients alone…

So I've made it available to download for free.

🌻 Can you claim sight tests and glasses through your business?

Limited company directors and employees: YES.

Eye tests are an allowable expense against corporation tax, but only when someone uses Display Screen Equipment for at least one hour per day.

Glasses must be needed solely for business purposes.

You must be able to prove it.

If you also wear them personally, you may claim a proportion - but they then become a taxable benefit, meaning P11D forms and Class 1A NI contributions apply.

Sole traders: NO

Unfortunately eye tests are not an allowable expense.

You're not legally required to follow Health & Safety Regulations as a sole trader, so HMRC won't accept the claim.

Knowing what you can legitimately claim could save you hundreds — or thousands — every year.

🌻 Why do you need a Director’s Loan Account?

If you run your own limited company, you’re most likely a director.
Every director has a loan account where everything you put into the company and everything you take out is recorded.

For instance, when you:

🌻 Pay a business expense from your personal bank account

🌻 Have your salary processed through payroll

🌻 Draw money out of the company for personal use - e.g. dividends

If your director’s loan account has a debit balance, you owe the company money.

And if you still owe the company money at your year end, there’s additional tax due on that balance.

If your director’s loan account has a credit balance, the company owes you money.

This is the position you want to be in.

So how do you keep your director’s loan account in credit?

🌻 Ensure you record all business expenses you pay personally

🌻 Ensure your payroll is correctly processed and recorded

🌻 Don’t let your account go overdrawn. Only draw money from the company up to the amount of profits

There are many accounting topics every limited company director needs to understand.

That’s why I created the FREE Company Directors’ Accounting Handbook.
It covers everything you need to run your limited company accounts properly - from how to pay yourself in the most tax efficient way, through to understanding your filing obligations to avoid costly mistakes.

🌻 STOP before you start a limited company.

Many believe being a sole trader is the least efficient for tax.

That’s not always true.

Here’s the reality…

If your profits are around £50,000 and you are the business, operating as a sole trader could be the more tax efficient route.

As a sole trader, your marginal tax rate is around 26% - income tax at 20% plus Class 4 National Insurance at 6%.

As a limited company, you’re looking at 19% corporation tax - plus 10.75% dividend tax

That’s 29.75% total - nearly 4% more expensive than if you were a sole trader.

Setting your business up as a limited company does make sense when…

🌻 You’re building a business that’s bigger than just you.

🌻 You’re not stripping out every penny of profit.

🌻 You want to retain some of your profit inside the company to invest in growth.

But there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.

And the wrong choice could cost you.

That’s why I created the FREE “Should I Be a Sole Trader or Limited Company?” guide.

I’ve distilled the essential info you need into easy-to-comprehend guidance so you can understand which structure works in your favour.

🌻 Tax planning isn’t just for big businesses with expensive accountants.

It’s for every UK business owner who wants to keep more of the money they earn.

The tax breaks available to small businesses are the same ones available to the big players, most small business owners just don’t realise they exist.

Once you do, you can use them every single year to reduce your tax bills, and reinvest the profit you save back onto your business, or pay yourself more of what you earn.

My FREE 16 Tax Breaks guide is a simple starting point.

Discover 6 allowances available to small business owners that are straightforward to understand and easy to action, whether you work with an accountant or manage your own tax returns.

🌻 Claiming your tax allowances isn’t tax avoidance.

They’re not loopholes.

They aren’t a “grey area”.

HMRC publishes a full set of allowances every year, the government makes them available specifically for business owners to use.

They just don’t put that guidance in front of you and make you study it.

So it’s usually only people like me who do, so we can help our clients pay the tax they’re supposed to, and not a penny more.

To give you a simple starting point to find out what you could be claiming so you’re not leaving your own money on the table, I created a FREE 16 Tax Breaks guide. 🌻

🌻 The UK tax system has more legitimate allowances built into it than you’ll likely ever discover.

They’re not secret, they’re published within HMRC’s own guidance.

(Which mostly only accountants read!)

If you’re filing your own tax returns, you may not know which of your expenses qualify.

And if the way you work with your accountant doesn’t include pre year-end tax planning conversations, you may not receive this kind of guidance either.

I want every business owner to understand their numbers.

A good place to begin is to explore some of the simpler tax breaks that you can claim - even when you’re filing your own taxes

That’s why I created my FREE 16 Tax Breaks guide.

It will help you identify 16 of the allowances you’re already entitled to, so
you can make sure you’re not missing out.

🌻 It’s easy to assume your accountant will automatically claim every tax allowance you’re entitled to.

❌ But you shouldn’t assume that.

If your bookkeeping entries aren’t correctly categorised, they may not be recognised as allowable expenses.

If you’re managing your own books and filing your own tax returns, you may not even know which of your expenses qualify.

After all, you didn’t start your business to become an accountant.

And there’s no business owner college that teaches you how to manage your books or what you can legitimately claim.

The difference between knowing your allowances and not knowing them can be thousands of pounds a year.

That’s your money going in HMRC’s pocket instead of yours.

So start here…

Download my FREE 16 Tax Breaks guide, read through it, and identify which allowances apply to expenses you’re already paying for.

Then either highlight them to your accountant or make sure you claim them in your next tax return.

🌻 4 daily bookkeeping tasks to make your numbers less overwhelming

We use and recommend Dext - an app that works with Xero and gives you a unique email address to forward invoices to instantly.

More on Dext 👇🏻

1. Capture every purchase invoice immediately

As soon as you receive an invoice, forward it to your Dext email or upload it directly to your accounting software.

Don't let them pile up.

2. Post invoices through to Xero daily

Log into Dext and push your purchase invoices through to Xero.

Ask your accountant about setting up supplier rules to automate this step.

3. Reconcile in Xero daily

Match money received against sales invoices, and chase any missing VAT receipts or invoices while you're there.

Five minutes a day beats hours or days of panic at month or year end.

4. Pay your suppliers through Xero

Purchase invoices transferred from Dext will show you exactly who to pay, and paying directly through Xero cuts out additional data entry completely.

Good bookkeeping habits are just one part of running your company properly.

If you're a company director who wants to understand the full picture, from VAT and payroll to tax planning and how to pay yourself efficiently, my FREE Company Accounting Handbook covers it all.
