If you are setting up or running your own business, understanding how to structure and manage your business finances is essential to avoid costly mistakes and maximise your income.
Join us for a practical, jargon-free session with Chartered Accountant Claudia Sheena FCA, who has over 25 years of experience helping small businesses get it right. This session is specifically for small business owners, freelancers, and side hustlers who want straight-talking advice on the accounting topics that really matter.
Claudia will cover:
✅ Sole trader / self-employed vs limited company – are you using the right structure?
✅ VAT — when you need to register, when you don’t, and how it impacts your business.
✅ Making Tax Digital (MTD) — new legislation coming in April 2026 will affect sole traders, landlords, and small businesses. Learn what it means for you and how to prepare — whether you’re already trading or in the process of setting up.
✅ Accounting tools to make your business run more smoothly — if you’re still working from spreadsheets, Claudia will explain how and when to automate, and which tools (like Xero, Stripe, and others) can help you be more efficient and reduce admin headaches.
✅ Why monthly accounts and cash flow tracking are essential for managing your business properly.
✅ How an accountant can help your business grow and be more efficient — Claudia will bust the myth that accountants are just a cost. Learn how the right accountant can save you money, support your business growth, and free up your time so you can focus on what you do best.
