🧑‍🍳😪if your accountant is currently waiting for something from you… consider this your reminder 👀 Your deadline is NOT the day to send everything.

We know how easy it is for accounting admin to slip down the list when you’re busy actually running the business - clients, staff, emails, jobs… there’s always something else demanding your attention.

But accounting is a two-way business relationship…A good accountant will stay in touch with you throughout the year - BUT we need the same from you.

When information like bank statements, invoices or answers to our questions arrives at the last minute, there’s less time to check everything properly, find what’s missing or deal with anything unexpected.

And accountancy is a business too - we have other clients, other deadlines and work already scheduled in. Last-minute work may need to fit around that.
So send documents as soon as you can when they’re requested, reply when something needs clarifying, and keep us updated if something changes.

We can only do the work properly if we have the information we need from you 🧡

The businesses in the strongest position aren’t always the ones that spend the least. They’re the ones that know what is worth spending on
 Here are 5 we think are often worth considering: 
1. Equipment ⚒️ Better tools, machinery or technology can increase what the business is actually capable of doing. Qualifying equipment may also receive tax relief, depending on the business and how it’s accounted for. 
2. Training & skills 📚 The right training can improve how you sell, manage, market or deliver your service. Training that supports your existing business may also qualify as a business expense. 
3. Marketing you can measure 💻 A website, advertising or good content shouldn’t just look nice. The important question is: is it generating enquiries, customers or sales? If it is, cutting it simply because it costs money can be false economy. 
4. Professional help 👩‍🏫 We would much rather see a business owner ask for help before something becomes a problem. An accountant, solicitor, HR professional or other specialist can often prevent a relatively small issue becoming an expensive one. 
5. Pension contributions 💰 Particularly worth looking at for limited company owners. Company pension contributions can have tax advantages where the relevant conditions are met. For sole traders, the tax treatment is different. 
🚨 And one rule we’d give any business owner:
Never spend even £1 just because somebody told you it’s “tax deductible”.
You’re still spending the money.
The better question is: what is this £1 going to do for the business?
If it helps you make more, save time, grow capacity or avoid a much larger cost later, then it may be money well spent.

What have you been putting off because it feels like an expense?
