About me

I kept the books for small businesses in a country town for fifteen years: a plumber, a florist, two cafes and a man who sold beehives. Nearly all of them were afraid of their own paperwork. They kept receipts in shoeboxes and put off the year end until it became a crisis. Most of what I did was sit down beside them and make it ordinary.

Now I teach the same thing to more people. I explain how self-employed tax works in plain words, with the pages and habits that make it easier. I am not a tax adviser and I do not give advice about your own case. The rules differ from place to place, so check them where you live. I film from my garden office on rainy days, and I write a letter every Friday about one small habit.
