About this event
Starting and running a business comes with enough uncertainty.
Your finances shouldn’t be one of them.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed or to put things off until they become a problem, a deadline is looming or worse, a fine has been incurred.
But often it’s not about doing more, it’s about building simple, consistent habits that keep everything on track.
In this session, Adam will focus on the fundamentals and the habits that make the biggest difference, including:
• What you need to track (and what you don’t)
• The small habits that keep your finances organised
• The basics of cash flow and why it matters
• Common mistakes (and how to avoid them early)
• What to expect when it comes to tax and key deadlines
This is not a technical deep dive - it’s a clear, real-world session designed to help you feel more in control and avoid unnecessary stress.
There will also be time for questions, giving you a great opportunity to get one-to-one insight from an experienced accountant.
You’ll leave with simple habits and practical steps you can implement straight away.
