You pour everything into the business and hope enough is left over for a life. Build It Backwards flips it. You design the life you actually want first, work back to the one number your business needs to hit, and let everything else flow down from there.
Each tool does one job and hands the next a single number. Nothing to overwhelm you, and everything connected.
Design the life you want, cost it, and let it work back through your tax to the profit your business must make.
Gives you: Your NumberNow you know your number, see what you would really keep as a sole trader versus a limited company, and land on the way you trade.
Gives you: your structureFour quick tools, each working out one more number from the profit the audit found.
Your Number lands here as your target. Each week you check in, and the dashboard shows your profit, your tax set aside and your runway against it.
Runs your five numbersThe tools all share the same tax engine, so they always agree. Discover Your Number, choose how you trade, then live it. The number flows down from the life you want, never up from your costs.
