Hey, I’m Chris – Your Hustle Mate!
Hustle Mate is your go-to resource for side hustles, freelancing, and self-employment in the UK.
I’m Chris, a Chartered Accountant and entrepreneur. I’ve worked with businesses of all shapes and sizes, but my passion is helping people turn their ideas into income. As a parent and side hustler myself, I understand the challenges of balancing work, life, and everything in between, and I want to share what I’ve learned to make your journey easier.
I created Hustle Mate to make self-employment less stressful and more rewarding. Whether you’re running a side hustle alongside family life, building a creative business, or freelancing full-time, you’ll find clear answers, practical tools, and a supportive community right here.
I know how overwhelming the admin and money side of business can feel. Tax deadlines, invoices, expenses — it’s a lot to juggle when you just want to focus on the work you love.
That’s why Hustle Mate exists: to give you simple, affordable support without the jargon.

Making self-employment simpler
Running your own business or side hustle often means doing everything, from client work to bookkeeping, yourself. It’s rewarding, but it can quickly get overwhelming.
Many freelancers and small business owners struggle with the admin side: tax deadlines, invoices, expenses, and knowing what you can actually claim.
Hustle Mate was built to take that weight off your shoulders. Here, you’ll find plain-English explanations, templates, and practical guidance that simplify the financial side of self-employment. No jargon, no unnecessary complexity, just straightforward support that helps you stay organised and confident in managing your business.
Ongoing support to manage and grow your hustle
Step-by-step guides on business, finance and accountancy topics that cut through the confusion
Tools and templates that save you time and stress
Updates on tax, funding, and business changes that actually matter
A community that gets the juggle and is here to support you
Financial guidance for freelancers, side hustlers and work-from-home jobs
Hustle Mate bridges the gap between professional accountancy advice and the realities of self-employment.
Whether you’re freelancing full-time, running a creative side hustle, or working from home around family life, the challenges are similar. Managing money, staying on top of admin, and finding clarity in what often feels confusing.
The goal isn’t to turn you into an accountant. It’s to give you enough understanding of business finances and tax to make smart, informed decisions. With tools, resources, and ongoing support designed for real life, Hustle Mate helps you build a business that is sustainable, profitable, and flexible enough to fit around how you actually live and work.
