We’re a few months into the new tax year.

This is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and reset.

If your books are even partially up to date, you’ve already got the data you need to make smarter, calmer business decisions for the months ahead.

Let’s take a look at what you can learn from your bookkeeping!

1. Spot Income Trends (So You Can Plan Ahead)

What’s come in so far? Are certain months stronger than others?
Did you have a spring sales boost — or are things quieter than expected?

📊 This kind of pattern-spotting helps you prepare for quieter times and capitalise on the busy ones.

2. Check for Sneaky Spending Habits

Now’s a great time to spot expenses that have crept in without you noticing:

• Forgotten subscriptions
• Costs that have crept up
• Tools you signed up for and don’t use anymore

3. Get a Grip on Tax and VAT

If you're self-employed, July is a great time to get a rough idea of how much tax you’re on track to owe.

• Already paid on account in January? Let’s check if you’re likely to owe more
• VAT-registered? Let's see if your turnover is rising near a new threshold

4. Look Ahead

Got plans for the second half of the year?

• Want to invest in your business?
• Planning a late summer break?
• Hoping to take on more clients?

With clearer financial insight, you can plan more calmly and confidently.

Final Thoughts:

Bookkeeping isn’t just a boring obligation — it’s the foundation of confident business decisions.

Use this while you have the chance to check in, reflect, and reset.
