This time of year, Manchester’s population swells substantially with the arrival – and return – of tens of thousands of university students; and for those and young people who live year-round in the city, accounting services in Manchester could be a convenient and crucial way to keep track of finances.
According to retail market analyst Mintel, young people are increasingly focusing on their financial stability by cutting back on discretionary spend, switching from high-value clothing brands to budget alternatives, and trying to add to their savings where possible.
“More young consumers are now putting money in their savings account than spending it on buying new clothes,” the analyst reports. “Young people are also reining in their spend on going out and dining out, as well as their purchases of books and DVDs.”
With tuition fees at an all-time high, some students might be tempted to make money wherever they can – but if you are offering freelance services, or selling on online auction sites as a primary source of income, you may need to declare those earnings or even register as a sole trader.
Accounting services in Manchester can help you to avoid any potential regulatory pitfalls, and make sure you retain as much as possible of the money you earn, to cover everything from course fees to rent, and even purchases of essential textbooks and other course materials.
