Hello, I’m Anita

A Chartered Accountant turned blogger and creator of this website

I set out on my mission to simplify self-employment for people seeking more freedom and financial stability back in 2019 after spending more than a decade working alongside small business owners.

I decided to take my experience and knowledge of going self-employed and juggling family commitments to show others that they can create a steady income doing something they love while staying in control of their time, when they work and how often.

Don’t believe it’s possible? Then stick with me and I’ll show you how to get through the process of setting up a business and creating that beautiful balance of freedom and financial stability.
