A business can look successful on paper and still leave its owner worried about money. Good turnover, a full diary, and yet cash is tight, tax bills hurt and you’re the last person to get paid.
At Sunnyside, we still take care of your bookkeeping, accounts, tax and payroll. But we don’t stop at reporting what’s already happened. We help you understand what your business is really leaving behind, pay yourself on purpose, set money aside for tax, and build profit into the way the business runs.
The aim isn’t just a bigger business. It’s a business that gives its owner more.
Sunnyside’s founder, Jess Weston, is a Certified Profit First Professional. Profit First, created by Mike Michalowicz, is a practical method for planning profit, tax and your own pay into the business from the start, and it’s one of the tools we use alongside our accounting experience.
