Christmas and the end of the year are not only dates of celebration, and that the self-employed and all the people who work on their own account have it assumed. Having all invoices posted the day before the end of the year, submitting quarterly taxes on time, completing the annual summary and other accounting procedures are essential to sleep peacefully . It will provoke the same reaction to many: “This next year has to be different, I must organize and manage myself better.”
Thinking of these people who are self-employed and who want to continue doing it in the best way and avoiding headaches, the digital platform, Nomo , has launched a guide that brings together six essential tips . Every self-employed person should write down these new resolutions in their to-do list to face the new year and ensure that the procedures to manage the business stop being a torment.
Tips that can save the self-employed in 2020
1.- The Pomodoro method , a technique that works for 25 minutes with maximum concentration and a five-minute rest period, allows 25 minutes to be at maximum performance with a real and total disconnection from the environment. Putting these types of methods into practice are essential to improve productivity.
2.- Having finances under control is essential, and feeling uncontrolled over them can generate a lot of stress. Nomo presents some recommendations to keep the accounting up to date: send the invoices on the 1st of the month to receive the payment as soon as possible; make payment of taxes on time to avoid fines from the Treasury; and opening a professional bank account separate from the personal one, are some of the tips to keep in mind.
3.- Sometimes investing is synonymous with saving . For this reason, Nomo considers that in some cases it is better to entrust all the procedures related to accounting to a good manager who can save not only money, but a lot of time and the occasional shock.
Nomo reminds in his guide that there are bonuses that the self-employed can benefit from. Out of sheer ignorance, several benefits are overlooked that can save you a lot of money in the long run. For example, a freelancer who has never been registered can enjoy direct discounts on the fee and bonuses for freelancers with a flat rate of 60 euros.
5.- Nomo recommends several insurances in its guide to be more protected. It depends on the activity that is carried out, it is vital to have insurance to put aside some concerns.
6.- As always, one of the most effective methods for keeping up with everything, learning and understanding, is reading. Nomo recommends several books for this Christmas such as the Self-Employed Survival Manual or The Entrepreneur’s Black Book, among many others.
