Sole Trader
A sole trader is a business structure where one person owns and operates the business. Because the owner and the business are legally connected, it is especially important to keep financial records tidy and understand how money moves in and out of the business. Topics such as expense tracking, owner’s drawings, tax obligations, and cash flow management are all essential for sole traders who want accurate books and better visibility over business performance. With the right accounting processes, sole traders can stay organized and make decisions with greater confidence.
