Managing your finances is vital to ensuring a sustainable self-employed career. On the evening of 19 November, join IPSE and expert speakers for an in-person event designed to equip self-employed professionals with essential financial management and planning tools.

The evening will kick off with a welcome and refreshments, followed by expert-led sessions on personal and business finance basics, tax strategies and retirement planning. Attendees can then have a 1-2-1 with financial advisors and accountants to answer specific questions they have about their finances, and also the chance to network with other self-employed professionals over light refreshments.
