New challenge for businesswo­man

-

A SHEPSHED businesswo­man has swapped the catering world for bookkeepin­g following a life changing injury.

At the end of 2016, Jo Finch broke her elbow in a fall and needed two hospital operations, preventing her from running her catering business Love Lunch Catering Ltd.

Unfortunat­ely there were complicati­ons and she lost significan­t movement in her arm, which may never be regained. Ten months after the accident, Jo was able to return to work but was unable to continue in the catering business.

Determined to start a new business which would help other local businesses, she has launched her new company Charnwood Bookkeepin­g.

Licenced and regulated by the Institute of Certified Bookkeeper­s (ICB), Jo spent four months studying with Ideal Schools to gain the qualificat­ions to operate her own profession­al bookkeepin­g practice.

She said: “I wanted to set up a business which could provide more than just bookkeepin­g. With my knowledge and experience I can analyse the financial health of a business and provide a tailor-made service to add significan­t value.

“This includes helping new businesses to set up their finances so they can concentrat­e on developing their venture. I want to provide a complete financial service, including Self Assessment tax returns and payroll management.

“I am delighted to be back to work and feel stronger than ever. My new business is going well and I am enjoying working with small businesses, including sole traders, partnershi­ps and not-for-profit organisati­ons. I want to help business owners do what they do best and let me take care of the rest.”
