Following recommendations by the Small Business Regulatory Taskforce, the requirement for small companies and micro entities to file profit and loss accounts from April 2028 will be paused.

Other reforms will still go ahead, including the need to file accounts by software-only from April 2028.

Communication is the biggest and most important part of being an accountant.

BUT it can only work if the client participates.

Over the years in practices I have seen clients bury their heads in the sand, if you’re thinking of purchasing a new van, tool , taking a person on to work for you, purchasing as house to rent out, Communicate with your accountant.

We can advise get things set up and in place. Rather than 18months down the line discovering you should have registered for a new tax, fines for non compliance with HMRC.

Pick up the phone, drop a text drop an email.

There is nothing more frustrating being an accountant and having a clients records in and discover issues which have cost them tax or made transactions they believe has no tax baring consequences.

TALK to US, just. Because a friend’s accountant has done ✅ something, this does not mean it’s the same outcome for you as your trade situation is completely different. Everyone’s tax story and business is unique.

A little reminder…

We’re all busy juggling businesses, work and family life — I completely understand!

But I do need my clients to work with me as much as I work for you.

Continually chasing paperwork takes valuable time away from actually completing your accounts and tax work, and ongoing chasing isn’t something that’s factored into your accountancy fee.

I’ll always support you and remind you of deadlines, but ultimately providing your records on time is your responsibility.

Help me help you. Less chasing, more accounting!

🚨 SCAM ALERT: misleading payment requests

We’re teaming up with Companies House to warn businesses about third parties sending letters and emails that look official, asking for payment for Companies House services or trade mark services. These organisations are not affiliated with Companies House, the IPO, or any government body.

Before you pay anything, look out for these red flags:
❌ Inflated costs – charging high fees for services you can do for less, or free, directly via Companies House or the IPO
❌ Pressure to pay immediately – especially to a third-party account
❌ Requests for personal or account information you weren’t expecting to share
❌ Poor quality letters/emails with spelling or grammatical errors
❌ Fake websites or contact details – check the sender and look for links that don’t end in GOV.UK
