Last week we attended the brilliant Trade Decorator Live event up in Bolton. Great to meet so many painters & decorators in person - even if talking about accounting & bookkeeping wasn't top of their list! Thanks to Paula McIntosh for the opportunity to speak both days about how decorators can save tax, reduce admin & grow their business. Looking forward to next year's event!

One of the most common errors we see is VAT being charged at 20% even on new build residential properties which are zero-rated. This means that you don't need to charge VAT on your services, but you can still reclaim VAT on related expenses! 💷

At Decorator Accountants, we understand the importance of getting your taxes right. We can help you:

✅ Set up the correct "Zero Rated" tax code in QuickBooks
✅ Ensure your invoices and transactions are accurately recorded
✅ Maximise your VAT reclaims on eligible expenses

Don't let VAT confusion hold your business back. Let us handle the accounting, so you can focus on transforming spaces and delighting your clients! 🎨

2 in 3 small businesses have had problems with cash flow, keeping owners up at night with on average £30k+ debts owed to them. Decorators are in this boat too. Are you making these 3 common cash flow mistakes in your decorating business? 😱

❌ Mistake #1: Neglecting to invoice or submit applications for payment promptly
✅ Solution: Set up a system to invoice immediately after completing a project milestone and follow up on late payments.

❌ Mistake #2: Overspending on unnecessary expenses
✅ Solution: Review your expenses regularly and cut back on unnecessary costs. Negotiate better terms with suppliers.

❌ Mistake #3: Failing to plan for unexpected expenses or slow periods
✅ Solution: Use accounting software to monitor and forecast your cash flow. Build an emergency fund to cover unexpected costs or delays in customer payments.

By addressing these mistakes and implementing these simple solutions, you can take control of your cash flow and build a more resilient, successful decorating business. 💪
