A few useful answers
You don't need to have it all worked out before getting in touch. Tell me what feels difficult, and I'll help you find a sensible starting point.
Yes. Courses are available for individuals as well as groups or teams. If you have a specific question or task to work through, a Power Hour may be a better fit.
Both options are available. Tell me where you're based and who will be attending, and I can discuss the arrangements with you.
Bookkeeping Essentials covers VAT and Making Tax Digital basics. Bidding for Beginners includes Social Value, while Admin and Process Training covers written procedures. If you need help with a wider compliance or business management question, tell me what you need so I can discuss the right support.
Training isn't always the answer. I also offer one-off projects and ongoing help with bookkeeping, admin, operations and bids. Have a look at my services, or let's talk through what would take the most pressure off.
