Lack of financial clarity
He couldn't get a clear picture of his business finances, which led to sleepless nights and endless frustration.
Inability to make growth decisions
He knew his business could grow, but he was paralysed because he didn't understand his financial position.
Tax worries
He was constantly stressing about his tax bill, unsure of how much he would owe, which created unnecessary anxiety.
Outdated bookkeeping
His low-cost bookkeeper wasn’t providing the support he needed to manage his finances properly.
Peter came to us as a business owner who had hit a wall. His business was turning over £450K annually, but he felt completely stuck and frustrated. Every decision he faced seemed like a huge gamble because he couldn’t see his financial situation clearly. Peter had no idea how much he owed in taxes, how to properly price his services, or whether he had the cash flow to make necessary investments in his business.
The problem stemmed from his bookkeeping. He was paying just £100 a month for a bookkeeper, who only updated his accounts one day a month and consistently made errors that affected his figures. This budget option wasn’t giving him the detailed financial insight he needed. Instead, his accounts were incomplete, out of date, poorly maintained and he was on the incorrect VAT scheme for four years. And because of that, Peter found himself overwhelmed, unable to make growth decisions, and constantly worried about cash flow.
Peter knew something needed to change, and that’s when he reached out to us. We immediately got to work, dedicating three months to sorting out his accounts and fixing the mess that had built up over time. We provided him with clear, up-to-date, and accurate financial reports that he could finally trust.
We introduced Peter to the Profit First methodology, which helped him organise his income, prioritise profitability,set sales targets and ensure he was always prepared for taxes. Peter also began providing for his future in a pension - utilising the tax efficient benefits available in his company. For the first time, Peter could see exactly where his money was going, how much he had to reinvest in his business, and most importantly, what his actual profits were.

As a result of our support, Peter’s entire outlook on his business transformed. Within 18 months, Peter’s turnover skyrocketed from £450K to £1.1 million. He was able to confidently make the decisions he had once feared, including:
Hiring additional team members to expand his services.
Investing in new equipment and vans to increase operational capacity.
Moving to larger premises to accommodate his growing business.
Now, with his finances in order and a clear understanding of his business, Peter was able to make strategic growth decisions that propelled his business forward. The confusion and stress that once dominated his business were gone, replaced by clarity and confidence.
From stress to confidence
No more sleepless nights over taxes or finances. Peter knew exactly where his money was going and had control over his cash flow..
From stagnation to growth
By having a clear financial picture, Peter could confidently expand his business, knowing he had the resources to support that growth.
From cheap bookkeeping to expert financial guidance
Peter realised that trying to save money on bookkeeping was costing him dearly in the long run. Investing in quality financial support allowed him to focus on what he did best—running his business.
Peter’s journey from financial confusion to business growth wasn’t a fluke—it was the result of implementing the same Profit First strategies and financial mastery taught in the Confusion to Confidence Framework.
