Bookkeeping for Virtual Assistants - Making it Make Sense

Here's the link to book onto the training I mention at the end of the podcast: https://courses.catherinegladwyn.co.uk/products/live_events/bookkeeping-2026Did you know that when people say ‘I’ve had an unexpected tax bill’, it just means they didn’t have access to a podcast episode like this.Personally, I absolutely love bookkeeping and I hope that comes across in this podcast episode so I can help you to love it and not fear it.So many new VAs either:completely avoid bookkeeping because it scares themthink they’ll “sort it later”or accidentally create chaos by mixing personal and business money from day one.And because we do need to know a bit more than how many notebooks you can put through the business every month, when this suggested topic came in from a listener I thought ‘bloody brilliant idea’.And it gave me an excuse to invite the lovely Nadia Gibbs from Birdsong accountancy and one of the co-founders of Hey Monika, the award winning software for new bookkeepers, to join me.Let us show you how the scary bits of bookkeeping are really rather easy with these hacks, what else you could be claiming for and much more.---It remains your responsibility to ensure your business accounting is accurate. If you're ever in any doubt please speak to HMRC and / or a qualified accountant.
