Thinking about the next steps of your business?

Whether you’re looking to scale, take out a loan, considering selling (or just want more direction and confidence), business coaching could be the answer.

The thing is, you don’t need to hire a separate coach.

As your accountant and financial Yoda, we’re perfectly positioned to add business coaching to your services when you’re ready.

It makes sense:

🙋‍♀️ You won’t need to explain your business to us.
🙋‍♀️ There won’t be time wasted diving into what you want to achieve.
🙋‍♀️ We already have a lot of the data, your goals, and an eye on the right strategy for you.
🙋‍♀️ You won’t need to spend time interviewing coaches.

You’ll sit down with a cuppa + Gillian (our in-house Life Coach Accountant) and jump right into the important stuff.

Send us a DM for more details about our business coaching sessions!

In February Gillian was featured in her first ever podcast, A Smaller Life with Saskia de Feijter.

This podcast is made for small businesses in the needlecraft industry, focussing on ways to elevate their businesses, as most of them start from passion without formal education in business. However, the topics covered will help most UK sole traders, such as:
- The difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant.
- Money is not just about money.
- How to choose the right accountant?
- How to work smarter and not harder.
- Transparency in working together with your accountant
- Setting aside money for taxes.
- Your accountant should be part of your team
- Bookkeeping components and tasks.

The Budget landed on Wednesday, and there wasn't much in it for small businesses. If you were hoping for some help, we know how that feels. 💛

Here's what you need to know, and you don't need to read all of it. Swipe until you find your bit, then you're done.

Almost nothing changes this week. The one thing worth doing now is checking your mileage rate. If you've been claiming 45p a mile since April, switch to 55p. It's backdated, so you can claim the extra for journeys you've already made.

Most of our clients are in Scotland, and some of the Budget waits for the Scottish Budget on the 3rd of December. We'll be back then with what it means for you.

Not sure which bit is yours? Send us a message. One line is plenty.

Be you. Be brave. Build a better business. 💛 by @fearlessfinancials

Have you been getting a call from us, but didn't recognise the voice? 📞

That'll be our accountancy trainee, Robbie!

Swipe to meet him, and to say hello again to the rest of us: me, Eilidh and Lauren.

With the Budget landing on Wednesday, the stuff in the papers is gonna be crazy. You don't need to read it all, though.

We're here to help you work out what actually matters for you and your business.

If you'd like a proper sit-down about it, a Clarity session is the place to start. Comment for the link.

Be You, Be Brave, Build a Better Business 💛 by @fearlessfinancials

Every path through Making Tax Digital looks a little different. 🏔️

Some people want to walk it themselves.
Some want checkpoints along the way.
Some want to hand the map over entirely and just enjoy the view.

Me and the hairdresser. We both tend to find out early 💇🏽‍♀️

Often before it's here on Instagram. Sometimes before the in-laws know. And every time, the same questions follow; will it affect my tax? What happens to the business? What about the house?

Nobody tells you to think about these things when you're deep in finding a venue and tasting cake. So swipe through.

This carousel covers everything your finances need you to think about when you get married or enter a civil partnership. The marriage allowance most couples miss (backdatable up to four years 👀), the property surcharge that catches people off guard, and the one thing about wills that surprises almost everyone.

Full blog post in the link in bio if you want the whole picture, and if you know someone who's just got engaged, please send it their way! 💒

Life happens, and your VAT bill is late. Before you panic, swipe through👆

There's a 15-day grace period, a payment plan option, and one specific thing to watch out for if you're spreading payments over time.

All of it is more manageable than that letter made it look.

We help clients pay the right tax. We want to help them pay fair tax as well. That’s why we are supporting #vatstheproblem and asking you to sign the petition. A reduction in vat for hospitality in line with Europe would be awesome news for your local street heroes. Over 20 venues close each week due to razor thin margins. Even those that look successful are often struggling to pay themselves a proper salary after paying staff, suppliers and taxes. Andy Burnham has voiced support previously. There are over 250k of signatures already. Let’s raise our voices to encourage him to make the change! #saveourhighstreets #fairtaxation #shopindependent #votewithyourmoney by @fearlessfinancials

🥗 VAT on children's eat-in meals is dropping today from 20% to 5% but only if your menu qualifies and only if your systems are ready for it.

Swipe through for what you need to check and the decision you need to make.

Congratulations to our clients @gibbinsky and @modernlovestore.co.uk for hitting the top spot on @thetimes Glasgow Indie Shops article. They have recently grown from their cool stall in @thebarrasmarket to their own wee shop in Parnie Street. A perfect place for finding Christmas gifts that look different and make a difference to the local economy. No need to make Bazos richer 😉. #shoplocal #indiechristmas #supportsmallbusiness by @fearlessfinancials

Great team day at the Edinburgh Futures Institute. Sorted out our implementation plan for the next stage of Fearless Financials. Empowering my awesome duo of Eilidh and Lauren; freeing me up to focus on being The Life Coach Accountant and exploring how AI can help us help our clients better. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #fearlessfutures #buildabetterbusiness by @fearlessfinancials

When we say we deliver services tailored to your needs, we mean it.

We’ve been holding Relationship MOTs with clients not just to check on the scope of services, but to understand if they’re happy with how the services are delivered.

There’s almost always something we can do to improve your experience – and we want to hear it!

⭐ Overwhelmed by emails? We’ll look at changing how we communicate.

⭐ Prefer to view data visually? We’ll make sure we present your numbers in charts and graphs.

Big or small, we want our work to make running your business (and your life) easier. If that means adjusting how we do things, we want to know.
