You don’t need to worry and get stressed out about correctly completing and submitting your tax return ….
Simply book yourself into our “short & snappy” workshop, which is being run by our resident Chartered Accountant, Nigel Gorski, of Nigel Gorski Business Consulting.
In this bite-sized module, Nigel will show you how to make sense of your self-assessment tax return and give you the skills to organise your records in a way that makes completing the tax return simpler!
Even if you've hired an accountant, it should simply things, keep you in good order and ultimately could reduce your fees!

So, if you are a newly self-employed sole trader completing this for the first time – this workshop is for you!
