A tidy workspace for independent workers

Three services

Accounting support that fits the way you work

Each service is designed for a specific need — tidy monthly records, a clear year-end return, or a calmer approach to setting aside for tax. You choose what applies to your situation.

What's available

There are three services here, and they can be used individually or together depending on what you need. None of them require you to be organised in a particular way beforehand — the starting point is wherever you actually are.

Simple freelancer bookkeeping

Monthly service

Simple Freelancer Bookkeeping

$65 / month

Straightforward tracking of your income and expenses with a tidy monthly summary — so your records are ready when you need them, without the upkeep falling on you.

Suited to freelancers, creators, and gig workers who want a calm handle on their numbers without learning a new piece of software or spending Sunday evenings on spreadsheets.

Year-end return preparation

Annual service

Year-End Return Preparation

$180

Preparation of your self-employed return with a review of allowable expenses, explained in plain terms. We take time to walk through what's included before anything is filed — so you understand your own return.

This is for independent workers who want their return handled carefully and want to understand what was claimed on their behalf — not just sign something they've been handed.

Set-aside and budget coaching

One-off session

Designed for independent workers who want a clearer picture of what to hold back after each payment — and who'd like to approach the financial side of their work with a bit more calm.

Choosing between them

Each service addresses a different aspect of freelance finance. Many clients use two or all three at different points — but there's no obligation to, and no bundling that forces the combination.

If your records are disorganised

Monthly bookkeeping gives you a clear, consistent record each month — so you're not facing a pile of receipts at year-end.

If tax time feels uncertain

Return preparation handles the filing and walks you through what's included — so you're not signing something you haven't understood.

Year-end return →

If irregular income feels stressful

The coaching session gives you a concrete set-aside amount and a steadier routine — built around what you actually earn.

Budget coaching →

Not sure where to start?
