Bolster your career with access to further technical support

Being a self-employed bookkeeper or accountant can be a lonely profession. Many who work from home, or even in an office, often have little or no contact with other people, except for the occasional conversation with a client.
In addition to the tax and VAT helpline and technical advice that you currently have access to, there is now a new website where members wishing to receive support can go to gain answers to any questions they might have.

Word from Sarah: Self-Worth equals Net Worth
|
|
|
In her regular feature, Sarah Palmer tackles the issues that matter.
Money is simply an idea; it is a means of exchange. Think about it for a moment, before money we bartered with each other as a means of exchange. When the concept of money first came about we use to have the “chuck wagons” or gold wagons, then, to make it more practical, coins were invented so we were able to carry money from one town to the next, then we converted the coins to paper in an attempt to make the coins lighter as the distances we travelled increased.
