Freelancer tax basics explainer

Explains in plain words how self-employment tax, quarterly estimates and common deductions generally work for freelancers in their country, and what to ask an accountant. Freelancers name taxes as one of the worst parts of the job. Education only.

Bookkeeping categorization helper

Suggests categories for a small business’s bank transactions, flags missing receipts and explains where the money went this month in plain words. Owners spend hours a week on bookkeeping they don’t enjoy. General information, not accounting advice.

Cash-flow explainer for small business owners

Reads the owner’s books and explains what’s coming in and going out over the next few months, which bills are due and how seasonality affects them. Cash-flow problems are why many small businesses miss payroll. General information only.

Year-end tax document organizer

Builds a checklist of everything a small business’s accountant will ask for, tracks what’s been gathered and what’s missing, and explains why each item matters. Most owners feel overwhelmed at year end. General information, not tax advice.

Client document collector for accounting firms

Tells each client of a small accounting firm exactly which documents are still missing, answers “what do you need from me?” and keeps the firm’s checklist up to date. Chasing clients for documents is the job nobody at the firm wants.

Pricing coach for freelancers

Helps a freelancer set rates, design packages and retainers, and practice the conversation about raising prices, using their skills, market and workload. Top sellers on marketplaces rely on clear packages.

Menu costing assistant for restaurants

Works out the plate cost and margin of every dish from the restaurant’s recipes and supplier prices, and shows which dishes to reprice when costs rise. Rising costs are restaurant owners’ top challenge.
