About this program

Built for people whose financial advice never quite fits because it assumes a salary. Personal Finance for the Self-Employed covers budgeting, saving and investing when income is unpredictable. It works through smoothing irregular earnings, building a buffer sized to your volatility, separating owner pay from business cash, tax provisioning, retirement and insurance without employer cover, and investing on a variable income.
