My first training session provided to a client who is using Free Agent and it was fab.
Am going to add this as a service as I know lots of sole traders are keen to use it with their free Mettle, Nat West, RBS bank accounts now they are mandated for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

Top 5 errors I see from sole traders doing their own bookkeeping

Error 1: Classifying the money they take from the business as Wages
Result: Business expenses too high meaning not enough tax paid

Error 2: Not entering the full amount of sales when card payment fees have been taken out before deposit in bank
Result: Business income too low and Making Tax digital for Income Tax and VAT threshold registration delayed incorrectly

Error 3: Classifying moving money from one bank account to another as an Expense when it should be a Transfer
Result: Business expenses too high meaning not enough tax paid

Error 4: Not adding any expenses paid from a personal bank account or cash
Result: Business expenses too low meaning too much tax paid

Error 5: Not adding their Use of Home office expenses
Result: Business expenses too low meaning tax paid too high

If you are making any or all of these errors book some training with Purple Bookkeeping and I can show you the correct entries to use.

In my beauty business, customer service and ethics aren’t add‑ons — they’re the foundation of everything I do. When someone chooses to book with me, they’re trusting me with their skin, their confidence, and their wellbeing. That’s something I take seriously.

I’m committed to:

• Ethical practice — using safe, high‑quality products, honest advice, and treatments that genuinely serve your needs.
• Exceptional care — creating a welcoming space where you feel listened to, respected, and supported from the moment you enquire to the moment you leave.
• Transparency — no upselling, no pressure, no hidden agendas. Just clear guidance and professional integrity.

Beauty should feel empowering, not transactional. My promise is to always put people before profit and to treat every client with the kindness and respect they deserve.
