In this Loom, I&apos;ll be sharing some tips on how to manage your business and personal spending as a sole trader, especially when you receive irregular sums of money. I&apos;ll recommend separating your business and personal accounts, even if they&apos;re just two accounts in your name. I&apos;ll also suggest using a cash flow forecast template to help you work out how long your money will last. When it comes to managing your money, I recommend using a challenger bank, if possible, to easily move money to different allocations or areas within the same account. I&apos;ll explain how to set up an automatic rule so that when money comes in, a percentage goes to your tax account. I&apos;ll also suggest putting away any excess money in a savings account or other specific accounts for future expenses. Finally, I&apos;ll emphasize the importance of always crossing the line between your business and personal accounts when moving money and tracking your spending to make tax returns easier.</description></oembed>
