Let's love Accounting
The Let's Love Accounting Programme is dedicated specifically to new directors and business owners who are faced with a whole new set of tasks and responsibilities, and probably overwhelm. If you ask any established business owner they will tell you that there are elements that they wished they had known at the outset instead of having to learn the hard way. This course is designed to give you those elements; to provide you with the big picture of how all the parts fit together and drill down into the detail of what's important for you to understand. This programme has a distinctly accountancy backbone to it and represents all the elements you need to understand in terms of what the accounting functions are. We do not expect you to be able to ‘DO' the accounting per se but we are looking to give you the overview of all the elements you need to understand, in terms of what they are, what they mean, how you need to understand them, what you need to keep an eye on, what questions you need to ask and how to utilise the information to your advantage. Basically, it is in understanding of what the accounting function means, is and how it can and will benefit you as you find your way around it.
To take you from:
- Overwhelm and anxiety around the structures of your business
- The insecurity of not knowing the important things you don’t know
- Running blind with numbers and not understanding all the implications
- Endless firefighting or reacting to the next crisis that shouts the loudest
To take you to:
- Knowing what you need to do and when you need to do it
- Having clarity with a structure and a format to work to
- Understanding the business calendar; the scary bits (tax, compliance)
- Stepping into proactive leadership; planning and implementing and having the tools to do that
Every week you will have access to a new lesson of the week. This way we can tackle all the important elements of each lesson in manageable chunks.
The lessons are delivered as video trainings which means that you can watch them at your own pace and in your own time, absorbing and re-visiting as many times as you need.
Every week we have a live Q&A session where you can ask any question you have, from that week or previous ones. This means that you can clarify anything you want more detail on. Sometimes these sessions allow us to drill into the technical detail of the subject or we can get drawn into a wider conversation. We encourage you to be at the live Q&A call but these are recorded so it you miss it, you can always catch up.
You will have access to all the templates and guides and any links to outside resources.
You will have access to a private group where you can share with others if you want to discuss further. This is by no means compulsory but can be a really useful part of the learning.
Between meetings you will be able to email me and the team with any questions you may have or to get or give feedback. We want you to get maximum benefits out of the course and feeling confident to take those next big steps.

I am a small business owner just like you
I completely understand the overwhelm that business owners can feel, especially when there are so many demands placed on your resources plus time is always against you. Trying to run a successful business can be a daunting prospect and you want to know that you have got the important things in place so you are not going to get any nasty surprises down the line.
Perhaps the first chapter of the journey of being a new business director is in knowing all the necessary elements you must attend to and not let them slip by, as the consequences of getting it wrong can be impactful. This is the element which can keep you up at night; worrying about the things you haven’t thought of.
I have taken my experience of working with other business owners and seeing the common mistakes that people make; which could be so easily averted if the right understanding and structures were put in place from the outset.
The good news is that you can get the support you need and in a format that allows you to implement the work within your business as you are ready to make the changes.
Don’t worry if you have been put off by traditional accounting firms where the only interest shown has been in the year end profit (or loss), the tax bill and the consequential lack of any real meaning. Those accounts feel so far removed from the actual workings of your business. I am on a mission to give support, that is going to make a difference to business owners; to not only make a success of their business, but make time for their families and have their business serve them in the life they want to lead.
