Budgeting isn’t about restriction, it’s about direction. When you give every pound a purpose, you create space for the things that really matter — holidays, home goals, or just peace of mind. Small habits today build the freedom you’ll thank yourself for tomorrow.

Your accountant should be more than just someone who files your taxes!
If they’re not explaining the ‘why’ behind your numbers, checking in proactively, or helping you plan for growth, you might be missing out!
Accounting isn’t just about compliance, it’s about strategy. Does your accountant do all this for you? 👀

Expenses can sometimes feel a little confusing! 💭
A client recently asked me a great question so I thought, why not break it down and share it with you too?

You read it right! As a sole trader, you can claim back a percentage of your mobile phone costs if you use it for business purposes!
The amount you can claim depends on how much of your phone use is for work and you must be able to back this up!
👉 Example:
- Monthly phone bill: £60
- You estimate 50% of your usage is for business.
That means:
£60 × 50% = £30 per month
Over a year, that’s £360 you can claim as an expense ✅

💭 We often think of rich as money, profits and numbers on a page. But true wealth? It’s a happy family, a roof over your head and good health.
An accountant helps you take care of the financial side so you can focus on what really matters - living rich.

HMRC’s Rule on Uniform Expenses:
You can only claim the cost of a uniform as a business expense if:
1. It’s a recognisable uniform that shows you’re wearing it for work (e.g. branded with a logo)
2. It’s protective clothing required for your job (like safety boots, hi-vis jackets, or overalls)
You can’t claim for everyday clothes you wear to work, even if you only wear them at work.
3. You have to wear it as part of your job.
P.S. Tesco, where Mum buys her best clothes - right? 👀
