MEND Accounting

Hey all,

Have not had much time lately to write my blog as I've been very busy both at home and studying for my exams.
I've recently been setting up my new business MEND Accounting.
As you can see from my previous blogs I really love Finance and accountancy so thought I should set myself up in practice, Now or Never.
I'm half way there at the moment, I've set up my business on HMRC. I've applied for my MAAT/MIP status.
I've purchased AXA Professional Indemnity Insurance and today I'm looking for my software and sorting out my home office.
Its going to take a long time building up from scratch but I'm really excited about it, as its mine.
I still work full time for an employer, and will continue to do so but Ill run my business in the evenings and weekends and study around my free time.

I have contacted a few local accountants to gain a continuity of practice arrangement in the event I can not carry out my duties (because of illness etc) and have spoken to a lovely local accountant who has agreed this with me.

All that's left to do now is wait on my licence to come through and advertise.

I have meetings set up for potential clients, its all vey exciting and early days.

Would be very interested in speaking to local networking organisers, or people like myself starting out to discuss ideas and tips.

Also, if any would be accountants/ bookkeepers would like to private message me to ask anything regarding the above don't hesitate.

My new business website is currently under construction but a basic template can be viewed here:
