Great to have two of the team attend the @bbfuk NextGen Business Network event this week, developing their networking and presentation skills in a supportive professional environment which was hosted at The Beech House in #Amersham. A good time had by all!

It’s lovely to receive notes & gifts of thanks from our clients at this time of year! Especially when we spend a lot of time in December letting clients know what their tax bill is! Looking forward to some downtime over the next week or two and enjoying these! 🍷🎄

An afternoon out with the team for our Anti-Money Laundering update. Great to hear about the incoming changes to Companies House that will come in soon following the passing of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023. More info here: buff.ly/3RnwWmR

CPD for the team yesterday afternoon at Adam’s Park - home to Wycombe Wanderers! Some interesting thoughts raised particularly around tax efficient extraction of funds from OMB’s…. But will the Autumn Budget change it all tomorrow? We look forward to finding out!

Delighted to receive this lovely bunch of flowers & box of chocolates from a client we have been working with since early 2021. We have been supporting them through a number of changes and it was a lovely show of their appreciation of our support. #appreciation #accountant

HMRC Cracking Down on MTD for VAT Non-Compliance Approx 10% of businesses that should have signed up to MTD for VAT have not yet done so. This could result in a £400 penalty. Now is the time to move your records to the cloud! #QuickBooksOnline #Xero #MTD #VAT #cloudaccounting

Delighted to see that HMRC has relaunched its Agent Dedicated Line after removing this service at the start of the pandemic. The ICAEW has noted that this, along with delays across most of HMRC services and additional demands from clients, has had a major impact on agents.

The deadline for joining the VAT deferral new payment scheme is looming! If you deferred VAT due between 20 March & 30 June 2020 and were unable to pay in full by 31/03/2021 you need to join the scheme by 21 June or now pay in full by 30 June. Visit gov.uk.

Great way to end the week with this lovely thank you hamper! Delivered to us from one of our very first clients, we have worked with them for nearly 10 years through many changes on their side and growth on ours. #thankyou #accountancy #hamper #grateful #tokenofappreciation
