You didn’t start your business to wrestle with receipts. You’re building something that works for you. But the Bookkeeping? We’ve got you.

It’s confusing, time-consuming, and easy to ignore. Whether you want to learn, hand it over, or check it’s right. Any of these sound familiar?

“I want to grow my business, but I am too busy dealing with the day-to-day work.”

"I could really take on my first staff member, but the prospect of having to be the HR, Payroll and IT department feels extremely daunting."

“I need help with different asp

ects of my business but finding the best service providers will be such a hassle.”

“I need a new website, but I don’t even know what I should be putting on it.”

“I want a business that is bigger than myself.”

“I want to stop working in my business and start working on it.”

Our departments are designed to work together, so that you can always benefit from expert knowledge without having to commit to expensive retainers.

I really think some Sole Traders are going to walk into MTD Power Days feeling completely overwhelmed…

…and walk out thinking:

“OK. I can actually do this.”

That shift matters so much, because confidence changes everything.

Once people understand:
• what HMRC actually wants
• what software they need
• what routine to follow

…everything starts feeling lighter.

That’s what I want these two days to give people.

28/05/2026

The bit I’m MOST excited about with MTD Power Days?

Monday.

Because that’s when things stop being theoretical.

People will come back having chosen their software over the weekend…

…and we’ll actually help them get set up.

Properly.

Not:
“Here’s a login screen — good luck.”

I mean:
• setting things up step by step
• understanding what records to keep
• learning simple Bookkeeping routines
• making MTD feel manageable in real life

I use AI almost every day in my business.

It saves time.
Reduces admin.
Keeps costs lower for clients.

Technology should evolve.
And businesses that ignore it completely will probably struggle.

But I’ll be honest.

I’m becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the narrative that AI can replace Bookkeepers and Accountants.

Because good bookkeeping is not just data entry.

It’s judgement.
Context.
Pattern recognition.
Understanding legislation.
Spotting inconsistencies.
Knowing when something “doesn’t look right”.

A software platform cannot fully understand:

* the reality of how a business operates
* the intent behind transactions
* the nuances of tax rules
* the behaviour patterns that often reveal errors

And the danger is that many business owners are being encouraged to believe compliance is now fully “handled” by technology alone.

That creates false confidence.

Bookkeeping often looks simple on the surface until small mistakes start sn*******ng.

So do me a favour and use AI, but make sure you know the basics of Bookkeeping and how your Accounting software works so you can spot mistakes early.

I wonder how many Sole Traders are quietly panicking about Making Tax Digital right now.

“I really need to sort this.”
“I don’t understand it.”
“I don’t know where to start.”

And the worst part?

Most people think they’re the only one confused.

You’re not.

I’ve been having conversation after conversation with Sole Traders who feel completely overwhelmed by MTD for Income Tax.

Which is exactly why I created MTD Power Days.

Because I genuinely think people need MORE than information right now.

They need someone to actually walk them through it properly.

25/05/2026

We are nearly 2 months through Q1 of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

But don't worry if you have been sticking your head in the sand and hoping that this will just go away by itself somehow.

If you were mandated into Making Tax Digital this year then you can still sign up now. It will mean a bit of backtracking your work, but it will make your life a lot easier when your first submission is due on the 7th August.

Not sure where to start? Give me a shout and I'll share some useful resources.

DIY bookkeeping vs outsourcing!

The real issue is something else entirely:

Are the books accurate and compliant?

Because that’s what actually matters.

It doesn’t matter whether:

* the business owner does it themselves
* a Bookkeeper manages it
* or an Accountant oversees it

If the records are incorrect, incomplete, or inconsistent, everything built on top of them becomes unreliable.

And that has consequences far beyond admin:

* poor business decisions
* incorrect tax positions
* avoidable stress at year end

My view is simple.

Every Sole Trader in the UK deserves accurate, compliant books.

How they get there is secondary.

The outcome is what matters.

Starting a business is exciting… but are your aspirations stuck at getting started properly?

Getting set up as a Sole Trader and registering for Self Assessment isn't rocket science, but if you want some hand holding then my new course is exactly what you need.

After a year of working on this course, rewriting sections, adding more detail, simplifying things, and making sure it actually answers the questions sole traders have… I finally feel like it’s exactly what every sole trader start-up needs.

Because when you first start a business, there’s so much to figure out all at once.
Registering with HMRC, knowing what records to keep, understanding what’s allowed, staying compliant, and eventually completing a Self Assessment tax return can feel like a lot when you’re already trying to build a business.

This course walks through all of it step by step, in a way that’s practical, supportive, and easy to come back to whenever you need it.

I’ve designed it to work as both a self-paced course and a reference guide. You’ll have access to the course for a full year, so you can dip back into the sections you need as your business grows.

You’ll also get 2 months free inside our Bookkeeping Community, where you can ask questions as they come up while you’re putting everything into practice.

I’m on a mission to help Sole Traders across the UK keep accurate and compliant accounts. And I completely understand that for many people, doing their own Bookkeeping is the best option when starting out. I just want people to feel confident that they’re doing things properly, without feeling overwhelmed by jargon or scared of getting it wrong.

The course is ideal for:
✨ people thinking about starting a business but not quite sure where to begin
✨ Sole Traders who have been trading for less than two years and want to feel more confident with their Bookkeeping.

Check it out here and let me know if you have any questions.

As a Sole Trader, do I need an Accountant or Bookkeeper?

And the honest answer is… no.

Many Sole Traders manage perfectly well on their own with:

* a basic understanding of bookkeeping
* a simple, consistent routine

The idea that you must outsource everything from day one just isn’t realistic for most people. Especially when you’re just getting started, building income, and trying to keep overheads low.

But here’s the thing. You do need to make sure you get it right and my goal is to make sure you do, whatever the budget. If this is you then ask me about my Bookkeeping from start to finish course and the Bookkeeping Hangout. Both are designed to help you get your Bookkeeping right even if you don't want to outsource it yet.

Are you way too busy to learn how to use Accounting Software for MTD?

I have got good news for you.

With Making Tax Digital for Income Tax you don't actually have to use Accounting Software. You can keep using a spreadsheet and use Bridging software to submit your spreadsheets.

You are welcome!

Starting a business as a Sole Trader isn't complicated.

Once you start earning more than £1,000 a year, you register for Self Assessment with HMRC and you’re officially trading.

But what’s rarely explained clearly is what comes with that decision.

Suddenly you’re expected to:

* keep proper records of income and expenses
* submit a Self Assessment tax return every year
* and eventually (as your business grows) submit quarterly updates under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax

On paper, none of this is complicated.

But in reality, most people don’t struggle with the registration… they struggle with everything that comes after it.

Because the moment you start trading, you’re not just running a service-based business anymore.

You’re also responsible for:

* tracking every transaction correctly
* keeping HMRC-compliant records
* understanding what needs to be reported (and when)
* and building a system that doesn’t fall apart under pressure

Most of the problems I see later on don’t come from “not knowing the rules”.

They come from not setting up a simple system early enough to actually follow them, so I have created a course that walks you through all the steps from registering with HMRC, setting up your business properly, knowing what expenses are tax deductible and how to submit your self assessment tax return to creating a bookkeeping routine that is easy to follow.

As a Bookkeeper, do I feel threatened by AI?

Automation is brilliant.
AI is useful.
Bank feeds save time.
Receipt capture apps are incredibly helpful.

I use technology constantly.

But I do think there’s an increasingly dangerous message being pushed that Bookkeeping software somehow “does the Bookkeeping for you”.

It doesn’t.

Software processes information.

It does not understand context.

And small mistakes inside bookkeeping systems can create very real consequences.

For example:

* software claiming VAT on expenses when the business isn’t VAT registered
* drawings being posted incorrectly as salaries
* personal spending sitting inside business expenses
* duplicated transactions from bank feeds
* incorrect categories affecting tax reporting

The issue isn’t the software itself.

The issue is the assumption that automation removes the need for understanding.

Technology absolutely makes bookkeeping more efficient.

But efficiency without accuracy just creates faster mistakes.

The businesses that stay compliant and financially confident are rarely the ones cutting the most corners.

They’re the ones that make a real effort to learn the basics or outsource to a professional, not to AI.
