Growing your business

florist - growing a biz 420x298Things have really shifted up a gear for you recently. You’re thriving.

You’ve got a solid business model and it’s sustaining you. Maybe you’re thinking about taking on an employee or two.

Perhaps you’re nearing the VAT registration threshold. You’re probably wondering if it’s worth setting up as a Limited Company.

All the blood, sweat and tears are paying dividends

But inside you’re crying out for some order, some structure (and a bit of a breather).  You’ve had your sights set on this phase for so long but now you’re here you feel out of control and the chaos is really grinding you down.

The complexity of your business has changed but you’re still muddling through with the same old processes and procedures.

The volume of paperwork is suffocating and managing it is really eating into your productivity, your time, your profits and your work/life balance. You still love your business but you’re not particularly in love with it right now. Can you relate?

Maybe you’ve tried doing it all yourself but the stress and anxiety are beginning to take their toll.

Or perhaps you’ve outsourced at great expense but you still don’t feel you have a grasp on how your business is doing, on where and how you could be saving money, on ways to make this more sustainable (both energetically and financially) for you.

Thankfully there is another way.

Just imagine if you were spending less time immersed in stress-inducing admin (or worrying about it). Wouldn’t it be great if you could be spending more time in your zone of genius and less time coping with all the paperwork. Wouldn’t you just love to have a real grip on what the numbers in your business are saying to you, to be able to identify when the business is doing well and how best to react to it.

Hi, I’m Karen.

final profile 3 karenI get what it feels like to know that something needs to change – either because the relentlessness is weighing you down or you know the future of your business depends on it. And I want you to fall in love with your business all over again. To remember why you made the leap into setting-up-your-own-business in the first place.

That’s why I offer a range of bespoke-to-you services for small business owners who are ready to take things up a gear in their businesses.

There’s no one size fits all but here’s how I help my existing clients:
 
Xero online accounting software training and set-up
  • Set-up of your accounting system on Xero
  • 1 to 1 training sessions tailored to what you need to know for your business
  • Assistance and management of the migration of accounting data from Sage or Quickbooks to Xero
 Outsourcing solutions
  • Ongoing monthly support for bookkeeping
  • VAT returns and self-assessment tax
  • Limited company accounts and corporation tax (one-man band companies)
I can also provide the following services
  • Production of monthly/quarterly management information
  • Assistance with the completion of VAT returns
  • Advice regarding VAT schemes and VAT registration
  • Training in the interpretation of financial information
  • Cash-flow and budget forecasting
  • Advice regarding incorporating sole traders

Next steps

I provide individualised quotes to ensure that you don’t pay for anything you don’t need

I won’t be right for everyone and I can only work with a limited number of 1:1 clients. So I insist on spending 30 minutes on a call before we commit.  We’ll get to ‘meet’ each other and see if we’re a good fit. We’ll look at where you are now, where you need to get to and what level of support you need.

This call is to help you get clarity and it’s totally free of charge. I won’t sell to you but I will tell you if I think I can help. And if I feel my services aren’t a good fit for your needs then I’ll be honest about that too.
