Where the money went, last 90 days
Running a bookkeeping/tax advisory firm business means the money never behaves as neatly as the advice suggests. This is a world of lumpy income. A property sale, a completed case, a closed deal. The work happens over months and the fee arrives on one day, which makes any single month a poor guide to how the business is doing. Judging yourself on a month here is like judging a farmer on a week.
There is also a hard line between client money and your money. Anything held on behalf of a client is not revenue and should never be sitting in the same mental bucket as your fees. Getting that wrong is not just untidy, it is a compliance problem.
Costs are dominated by the fixed things. Professional indemnity, practising certificates, regulatory fees, software, referral fees and marketing. They arrive whether or not you completed anything this month, which is what makes the quiet stretches uncomfortable.

Where the money went
Upload a statement and Cashowa does the sorting. Free to start, no card needed.
Three situations that come up constantly in bookkeeping/tax advisory firms.
Add up your fixed costs for a year and divide by the number of matters you completed. That figure is what every new instruction has to clear before it earns you anything, and it is usually higher than people expect.
Categorise referral and introducer fees by source and set them against the income that followed. Some sources look busy and deliver very little once the fee is taken out.
If your work clusters before a deadline, last year's chart shows exactly how steep that is. Knowing the shape lets you staff and price for it rather than absorbing it every year.
Switch between monthly, quarterly and yearly to see the pattern.
Property linked work peaks in spring and early autumn and falls away sharply over Christmas. Anything tied to the tax year clusters hard in the weeks before the deadline.
Upload twelve months and the pattern stops being something you half remember. You can switch between monthly, quarterly and yearly, which matters when income arrives in lumps and a single month tells you very little.
If you hold stock or materials, Cashowa tracks what you have, what it cost and what is running low. Enter a count once and it counts down as things get used, so you are not retyping numbers every week.
Add a lead time and it warns you before something runs out, rather than after.

Built around how bookkeeping/tax advisory firms work, not around a generic business.
See what it costs to keep the doors open before you have billed anything.
Introducer and referral payments get their own category so you can see what your headline commission actually nets.
Categorised, exportable, and ready for whoever does your accounts.
Fixed costs divided by completions, which is the number that should inform your fee scale.
See what each introducer actually nets you after their cut.
These get recognised and sorted on their own when they turn up on your statement. If something specific to your setup gets filed wrongly, you fix it once and it sticks.
Export a statement, upload it, and the categorising happens on its own.
