Working with Lina in the Profit Maximiser programme honestly changed my relationship with money and my business. I had been running my business for over 10 years, but if I’m truthful, I was avoiding my numbers. I didn’t really understand my reports, relied on my accountant once a year, and every tax deadline brought stress and anxiety. I believed I just wasn’t “a numbers person.” Lina helped me put simple systems in place that actually made sense. I now track my expenses properly, review my figures regularly, and speak to my accountant with confidence. For the first time ever, I paid my corporation tax before the deadline. I’ve opened separate accounts for VAT and tax, and the constant fear around deadlines has gone. What made the biggest difference is that Lina didn’t just teach bookkeeping — she helped me understand what my numbers mean. Recently, I reviewed a potential investment and realised, based on the data, that it wasn’t the right move. That clarity felt incredibly empowering. Lina is calm, patient, and genuinely supportive. She created a safe space for me to face something I had avoided for years. I now feel informed, steady, and in control of my finances. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your numbers, I truly recommend working with her. And sometimes, the most beautiful part of business is when coaching develops into true partnership and friendship.

Working with Lina as my financial coach has been a wonderful journey with a great value. It gave me more headspace and real sense if freedom around any topics related to money. It helped me to bring more positive energy to what I wan to focus on. Lina has a great personable style and adopted to my challenges so well. I felt understood, supported and got confidence in my decision making, as well as reinforced my strong belief that leaning into hard stuff that we sometimes avoid it’s where we learn and grow. Very grateful and highly recommend the experience to others!

I knew I wanted to have a session with Lina for some time and now I have had one, I know I want more! She took no time at all to get to the root of why I was feeling stuck, and I very quickly realised what I need to do. She gave me some great exercises to complete, which I am looking forward to starting, and my mind is buzzing with ideas for my future, all based on a 1-hour conversation. This is only the start, and Lina has already opened my mind about my money mindset. If you are feeling stuck when you think about your finances, I highly recommend working with Lina.

I met Lina in a business mentoring group for coaches and I was impressed by her finanical knowledge and passion for helping self employed people understand their own numbers better. My accountant had sold his business an so I decided to try Lina's Self-Employed Tax Return Course to see if I could do my own tax returns to reduce costs in my business. The self paced learning was very helpful in helping me understand key terms and the tax return process. The calls with Lina gave me lots of time to ask all my questions and one of the most valuable things is that I now have a recording where Lina has taken me step by step through my tax return that I can use again.

It was a joy to work with Lina on my accounts. I never thought I'd start to enjoy my accounting but I really have. All the fear I had associated with logging into my Xero has gone. I know exactly how to spot accounting errors. I saved money on tax through knowing what to claim and all in all I'd highly recommend Lina to anyone who wants to be in control (and dare I say start to enjoy) their finances.

I had a brilliant mini finance session with Lina, and as a new business owner, it was exactly what I needed. She walked me through the essentials of what to track and why, using her fantastic Self-Employed Playbook. I now feel confident about what HMRC expects and how to stay on top of it all. We also explored some financial strategy and goal-setting for the year ahead, which left me feeling clear, focused, and genuinely motivated. Lina has a real gift for making the numbers feel manageable and meaningful. Highly recommend her to any self-employed person looking to get a solid handle on their finances!

I had a good meeting with Lina to talk about a choice between a Sole trader and a limited company, advantages and disadvantages of each approach. She was also helpful advising me what I could record as my business expenses.

Lina Transformed My Business Finances! When I started my CIS business, I was completely uninformed about how things worked, especially when it came to taxes. After a quick review with Lina, I discovered that my business was losing 20% of its turnover to tax—money that should have been offset against my tax due, with the remainder refunded to me. I had no idea this was happening, and unfortunately, my accountant was just as unaware. Lina not only identified the issue but also took the time to explain how CIS works, the ins and outs of taxation, and my responsibilities as a director. She taught me how to properly manage my income, track overdue invoices, and pay myself a salary in the right way. But beyond the numbers, she also helped me build strong financial foundations in my mindset—something I didn't even realize I needed. Thanks to Lina, I now have a simple, user-friendly system in place and, most importantly, I finally understand my business finances. I feel confident, in control, and no longer stressed about where my money is going. I highly recommend Lina to any business owner who wants to take charge of their finances and make their business work for them!

I’m so glad I was introduced to Lina when I was scaling my business and planning to incorporate. Not only did she advise me on all the implications, but she also helped me set up my company, taught me basic bookkeeping, payroll, and, most importantly, how to read financial reports. A year later, I feel completely in control of my business. I am saving at least £1,000 in accountancy fees each year, which is what I would have been charged just for bookkeeping and director payroll. I’ve discovered that I actually enjoy doing it myself and watching how the figures translate into meaningful data. Even my accountant was impressed when he completed my year-end accounts!

I am a builder, and my business grew quickly when I realized I lacked financial literacy. So, I signed up for Lina's group Self-Assessment course, which opened my eyes to understanding business finances and taxation. Later, I booked a few more private sessions, which helped me learn VAT, CIS, and, most importantly, cost management. Now, I am confidently pricing my services, making more profits, issuing professional invoices to my clients, and having processes in place for handling non-payments. Highly recommend her service.

I am very grateful mine and Lina's paths have met. Over the years I have worked with different high end accountants but never had even a tiny understanding on how it all worked. The topics of finances and accountancy just made me uncomfortable, my questions were never answered with my previous accountants nor was I encouraged to have a clear understanding on how HMRC operates, how self employment admin works etc. I felt I was always giving other people to do my taxes but had zero knowledge on it myself which made me feel very insecure. Only from one session with Lina I felt I learnt more than ever before, and most importantly I was encouraged and supported for the first time to understand this system, how it works and not feel illiterate on this matter or uncapable. So I left the session feeling empowered and excited to learn. Lina has great systems in place that is easy to navigate, and I felt being guided by an expert who's knowledge is very broad. Highly recommend.

I started working with Lina because I wanted to grow my business. I needed to trust myself and gain more confidence, and I got that—and so much more. Working with Lina was something I needed on a personal level. As a result, I now feel more confident, trust my intuition, and have become more laid-back and less controlling. Beyond these invisible benefits, the most tangible outcome has been launching my own product line, which now generates passive income for me. It’s been a truly transformative six months!

I worked with Lina for a year on my business finances. My goal was to learn bookkeeping properly, enabling me to see the true picture of my business performance through accurate reports. Previous accountants never met my needs, and I always relied on a separate spreadsheet to stay on top of my finances. After working with Lina, I can now generate any report on QuickBooks, see the “true picture,” and make informed business decisions. I also learned how to handle tasks like running payroll and submitting VAT returns, although I’ve chosen to leave those to my accountants. The most important outcome is that I now feel in control of my business finances, which wouldn’t have been possible without Lina’s training and support. Thank you, Lina! I highly recommend this training to any business owner. It will save you money and, in most cases, time on your company’s bookkeeping. The reports your system generates will be highly accurate, giving you full control over your financial planning.

Lina’s experience and ability to pinpoint what was holding me back in terms of financial growth within my business enabled a shift in my mindset within just one session. Linking purpose and my WHY with my business financials is a game changer for me!

I can’t recommend Lina highly enough! Before working with her, I had no understanding of my company’s financial numbers. My bookkeeping was handled by an accountant who often delayed things and overloaded me with questions, leaving me feeling lost and frustrated. My expenses were high, and I had no idea why. Lina changed everything for me. She not only helped me take control of my bookkeeping but also taught me how VAT returns work and how to do them myself. Now, I can confidently file VAT returns on time without any stress. She also explained profit and loss reports in a way that finally made sense to me. Thanks to Lina, I now know where my company’s money is going each month, and I can make adjustments in real time. I feel empowered and confident in managing both my bookkeeping and my company’s finances. If you’re struggling to understand your numbers or just need help getting organised, Lina is the coach you need!

I was really frustrated with my accountant, especially with their fees, when I was referred to Lina. I often felt overcharged, and, more importantly, I couldn’t understand the reports or advocate for myself when it came to discussing costs. I decided to sign up for mentorship with Lina, and it’s been transformative. Within just a few months, I was able to prepare my own VAT returns, submit my CIS, and leave only the annual accounts for my accountant. Most importantly, I now understand where my money goes and how different tax liabilities are calculated. Although I’ll continue to delegate these tasks in the future, I now know their true value and can confidently verify the work. It’s such a relief. I finally feel like a proper business owner. I highly recommend Lina—she’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive.

Just want to say thank you for Lina because she keeps me going, improving my business and my personal growth! Her insights are eye opening and it helped me to a lot to understand my mission, have strategy and achieve my goals!

I am incredibly grateful for the session with Lina. I gained a lot of clarity on how to better structure my sessions to cater to my clients’ needs, effectively communicate my message, and received invaluable guidance on growing my business. The advice on setting the right mindset was particularly impactful. I highly recommend Lina to any woman who is either building her business from the ground up or looking to optimize and achieve better results with an existing business. The insights she provides are truly transformative. I would give her services 10 stars if I could! 🌟

I’ve been running my business for 14 years now, and as an old-school driving instructor, I found myself feeling stuck and unmotivated. I decided to try a Business MOT session because I knew something needed to change but had no idea where to start. OMG—how I wish I had these sessions at least once a year! I am confident that I would be in a different place financially and emotionally by now. Lina asked deep and powerful questions that I would never have thought to ask myself. Throughout the session, I had numerous aha moments, and I left with clear, easy-to-follow steps on what to do next. I can’t wait to implement them. Highly recommend!

I've known Lina for several years now. When we met - I was impressed by Lina's expertise as a mentor and coach, her specificity, and her ability to listen to people. I had the opportunity to participate in a businesswomen's camp organised by Lina. The camp exceeded all my expectations - I left emotionally strengthened and with a clear plan and vision on how to further develop my business. At the end of 2023, I organised a World Cafe event in London and invited Lina to be one of the table moderators - "Self-esteem, trust, competition." It was one of the most popular tables where women, with Lina's help, openly expressed their problems, fears, and expectations, and received a lot of advice, insights, concrete solutions, and endless support. After this event, I received a lot of positive feedback about Lina's moderation and professionally conducted mini-coaching sessions during the event. I am glad to have the opportunity to participate with Lina in other projects and to create business value for other businesses together. I highly recommend Lina to anyone who is stuck in their business, doesn't know what right decisions to make, and what steps to take next in their business and activities. You will have great and tangible results and an excellent path of business coaching! Laura, Director Online Bussines ABC LTD President of Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce in UK

I had a business MOT session for the first time! Can not recommend Lina enough! Session was such an eye opener. I left with a clarity and plan for the next 3 months. The plan that consists of small and easy steps. I started to implement the steps and I already have more income after just 2 weeks. Thank you so much Lina and I will be back 😎

I have attended the online Self-assessment Tax Return UK course I must say, it has been an incredibly enriching experience from start to finish. Couldn't asked for a better learning experience and I'm so happy I chose Business Strategy Coach and Mentor Lina. The course was very well structured and also a very good refresher. All materials were very easy to understand, and have been provided additional Excel tables to make the self-assessment filling out is much easier. Overall, I cannot recommend Couch and Mentor Lina highly enough. Her commitment to excellence, combined with her innovative approach to learning, makes her a standout choice for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge and skills. Thank You, Lina!

It was greatest investment! Lina has the ability to see missing parts in business. I love her knowledge in her field. Highly recommend it

The Best investment to my business and myself!!! I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my journey with Lina. Most professional, selfless coach, that I ever known. Gave me priceless live and business lessons. I'm forever grateful 🙏

One group coaching session with Lina has helped me to focus on my goal and achieve it in less than I’ve planned to achieve it. The session has helped me to find my whys and plan right actions straight after session, which eventually transformed my life. Today I had another session with Lina and she helped me to put my thoughts in the right shelves and get my answers. Thank you Lina 🤩

Lina helped me with opening my own business. Gave me some tips how better to approach in different situations. Lina is very knowledgeable person with a lot of experience in finance. Really recommend if you don't know where to start or you need just consultation.

I decided to work with Lina on my business vision because I was looking for a new direction, feeling lost and uninspired in the daily grind of business. I had reached a point where change was necessary as I felt that I had outgrown what I was doing and lacked motivation. My finances were good, however, it was no longer satisfying since I felt I could do something different, something more meaningful, but could not figure out what and how. Working with Lina brought focus. I clarified my business vision and goals and understood the meaning and direction of my activities, which gave me the energy to take new actions. We worked for hours on my vision, my values and my desires. I am very certain where I am going and why. I no longer wander or look sideways. This saves a lot of time and energy. I feel greater self-confidence and clarity. Lina taught me and helped me relax during those changes: not to overstrain, to move at my own pace and not surrender to fear and inaction. The biggest boost of energy came when I discovered and realised that I could operate from an entirely new perspective in my existing business. This was very liberating because there was no need to change everything radically. From our work with Lina, I obtained tangible results: I identified my long-term vision and my target audience, which led me to say no to some old clients or leave them in the background. I distanced myself from some of the services I provided and created new ones. I created clear offers to my clients, so they can ave better understanding of how to work with me. What stuck with me the most was Lina's care, sincerity and authenticity. I strongly felt Lina's support throughout the entire period; she played the roles of sister, mother, friend, colleague, mentor, and guide, all rolled into one. It seemed like she had already walked this path herself and confidently led me the way forward. I do not think I would have reached this in just three months all by myself. After three months have passed with Lina, I know this is just the beginning of new me and my new direction. Thank you, Lina, for your guidance, strength, love and friendship.
