How much is 3 hours of your time actually worth?

Because if you're spending 3 hours every month wrestling with your bookkeeping, that's 36 hours a year.

That's a LOT of time spent reconciling transactions, chasing receipts and wondering why the numbers don't match. 😂

What could you do with those 36 hours instead?

Work with more clients?
Get out and market your business?
Spend time with your family?
Or just have a proper day off without feeling guilty? 👀

Sometimes outsourcing isn't about spending money.

It's about buying your time back. ❤️

🚨 CAN I CLAIM MILEAGE AS A BUSINESS EXPENSE? 🚨

The short answer is… possibly! 😂

If you’re travelling for business - heading to a client, a temporary workplace, a business meeting or another genuine business destination you may be able to claim the business mileage.

But there’s a catch…

⚠️ Your normal commute to your regular place of work generally isn’t a business journey.

And if you’re using your own vehicle, you can usually use HMRC’s approved mileage rates rather than trying to work out the exact cost of every bit of fuel, insurance and maintenance.

For the 2026/27 tax year, HMRC-approved mileage rates are 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles in a car or van, and 25p per mile thereafter, with motorcycles at 24p and bicycles at 20p per mile. 🚗🚲🏍️

Do not claim for both mileage and the actual expenses incurred such as fuel! ⚠️

Basically, keep a good mileage record: date, destination, reason for the journey and miles traveled.

A slightly unpopular opinion about Self Assessment…

You probably don’t need another Facebook post telling you to “take the stress out of your tax”.

What you probably do want to know is:

“How much tax am I actually going to have to pay?”

“Have I done this right?”

“What expenses can I claim?”

“Do I even need to do a tax return?”

“And what on earth is Making Tax Digital all about?”

These are the questions I get asked all the time, and honestly, there are no silly questions when it comes to tax. The rules can be really confusing.

I’m currently taking on some new clients for Self Assessment and MTD support, so if you’re self-employed, a freelancer, landlord or running a small business and you’re not quite sure where you stand, feel free to get in touch.

No scary accounting jargon. No judgement if your paperwork isn't beautifully organised. 🙈

Just a friendly chat about where you are, what you need to do, and how I can help.

Send me a message, even if you’re not sure whether you actually need a bookkeeper.

And if you know someone who is currently avoiding their tax return like it's an awkward message from an ex… feel free to tag them. 😂

🖤Why I started my bookkeeping business🖤

Starting my own business was a big step, but one I’m really proud of. I wanted to create a better balance between work and family life - having the flexibility to be there for my children while also building something of my own.

I've always worked in accounting and genuinely enjoy helping others. There’s nothing better than knowing I’ve made someone’s life a little easier by taking the stress of bookkeeping off their shoulders.

Going out on my own has helped me grow in ways I didn’t expect. It’s built my confidence, pushed me to learn new skills, and shown me what I’m capable of.

It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made, both for my family and myself and I'm excited for what's ahead.
