Accounting feels harder when nobody explains what actually matters.
Most sole traders do not struggle with the numbers. They struggle with knowing what to record, which expenses are allowable and what HMRC expects. This course turns those responsibilities into a clear, manageable system.
PROBLEM
You have receipts, invoices and bank transactions—but no clear system.
Learn exactly what records to keep, how to organise them and how to separate business from personal spending.
PROBLEM
You’re unsure which expenses are allowable and how to treat mixed-use costs.
Understand common expense categories, business-use proportions and larger purchases through practical examples.
PROBLEM
Self Assessment, tax deadlines and Making Tax Digital feel overwhelming.
Follow the UK tax process step by step, understand the key deadlines and learn when Making Tax Digital applies to you.
