I'd really like to continue working together, so let's get this cleared up.

< 14 row(s) each — it broke the year into quarters itself
Yes, wages have crept up. Q1 wages were 26.3% of sales (£33,446 on £126,969), Q2 was 26.5%, Q3 jumped to 27.8%, and Q4 held at 25.6%. The Q3 spike is the outlier, but overall the wage ratio has been bouncing around the mid-to-high 26% mark with no clear downward trend — so labour cost as a share of revenue hasn't improved over the year.

The trial balance as of 15 January 2024 balances clean, but one thing stands out: the Business Current Account shows a credit balance of £8,509.51. A current account in credit typically means the business owes the bank money — it should normally be a debit. Otherwise the structure looks standard: revenue of ~£290k, COGS and wages making up most of the costs, and a VAT liability of £42,930 sitting there.
