Build a Business That Works for You – Not the Other Way Around
You didn’t start your business to drown in spreadsheets and stress.
You started it for freedom, flexibility, and a better future - but somewhere along the way, the numbers got messy, the to-do list exploded, and profit started feeling like a mystery.
I’m Nicola Hageman, Chartered Management Accountant, Profit Strategist, and founder of The Numbers Quarter, and I help service-based businesses (like yours) make sense of it all.
From getting your pricing right and building in profit, to setting up a limited company and keeping on top of the day-to-day accountancy stuff (like payroll, bookkeeping and year-end), I’m here to take the pressure off and give you back control.
I wrote these books to make things simpler. Whether you're just getting started or finally ready to step back from the day-to-day, they’ll help you build a business that works for you, not the other way around.
If you’re a small business owner ready to work smarter, not harder - these guides are for you.
Whether you're navigating life as a limited company director, or building a more intentional business that supports your lifestyle, you’ll be able to get all of your questions answered here.
The Director’s Handbook
A straightforward guide to running your
limited company with confidence.
Being a company director doesn’t have to be overwhelming. This book is your practical companion for understanding the essentials, from setting up correctly and staying compliant, to making sense of your finances and planning ahead.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about what you “should” be doing as a director, this book will give you clarity, confidence, and a solid foundation to build on.
Purposeful Profits
Build a business that gives you more time,
more profit, and a lot less stress.
This book is for service-based business owners who are busy… but not necessarily profitable. It introduces the Purposeful Profits Framework, a practical, honest approach to building a business that aligns with your goals, values, and life.
You’ll move from firefighting and overwhelm to clarity, strategy, and sustainable growth, without sacrificing what matters most to you.
