EASY NUMBERS
Your go-to guide to tax, accounting and business admin.
"I could not recommend Easy As VAT enough if you struggle with bookkeeping/finances as a small biz or blogger!"
- Charlotte, Colours & Carousels
There are two things that business owners tell me that they really struggle with.
The first is that while they're a genius in their chosen area of business, they don't feel very confident handling the behind the scenes of running it. You know, filing tax returns, keeping track of their money and invoicing clients - all that less than glamorous but very, very important stuff.
The second is that there isn't a helpful, easy to understand guide to tell them exactly what they need to do.
And both of these things can lead to those awful, niggling feelings that you're doing everything wrong, that you aren't capable of running your business properly and that maybe you aren't cut out for this entrepreneur thing.
Stop right there.
That guide I mentioned earlier, the one that will tell you everything you need to know to keep your business running?
This is it.
Easy Numbers will provide all the information you need to know to run your UK business legally and effectively through four modules of short but in-depth lessons and tons of free resources for you to use in your business.
The lessons are in video format and can be accessed in any order - meaning you can watch lessons when they apply to you and follow along with them.
The information included in this course is super easy to follow and understand, so if you've ever found yourself stressing out about filing your tax return or confused about which expenses you can actually claim, you need this course.

- Have a solid plan to set out your business goals and how to reach them.
