Yesterday evening was … sunny indeed 😎 so we headed out to join fellow B Corps at the June London B Social in support of 🧡

It was fantastic to spend the evening with so many purpose-driven businesses - catching up with familiar faces, making new connections, sharing ideas, and celebrating the growing movement for better business.

The Better Business Act is campaigning for a simple but important change to UK company law, reflecting what many businesses already believe: success shouldn't be measured by profit alone, but by the positive impact we create for our employees, customers, communities and the environment.

Businesses of all sizes can get involved by supporting the campaign and adding their voice to the growing number of organisations calling for a Companies Act that reflects the challenges and opportunities of today's world.

A huge thank you to the team at B Lab UK for organising another fantastic B Social, to Bates Wells for hosting us, and to everyone who helped make the evening such a success. Events like this remind us that we're part of something much bigger than our own businesses.

What percentage of your income should you really be setting aside for tax?

Many business owners only think about tax when the deadline is approaching - but by then it’s often too late.

There are 4 types of tax that you may need to save for each month: 1. DIVIDENDSIf you take dividends from your limited company business, you will need to save personal tax for this every time that you get your dividends paid to you.

Day 2 at Accountex London and wow… the energy this year has been unreal 🔥

So good catching up with partners, seeing familiar faces, and hearing where the industry is heading next 👏

The conversations this year feel different… less “future of accounting” and more “this is already happening” 👀

Loads of ideas and meaningful conversations💡

This is a really important (and slightly unsettling) read. 👀

We’re already seeing how AI is changing the hiring landscape - but what stood out here is how blurred the line has become between 'helpful assistance' and outright fraud.

With a significant proportion of candidates now using AI in some part of the process, and some going as far as creating entirely fake identities, the challenge for businesses is no longer just finding the right talent - it’s verifying that they’re real in the first place.

AI may be supercharging it, but the tendency to embellish or even lie on job applications is neither new nor rare. In fact, a 2017 US-based study found that 72% of applicants embellish their CVs, while 31% have included outright fabrications. Such findings have been replicated by other studies in th...

Thank you 🧡

How gorgeous are these?! The biscuits are almost too pretty to eat (almost 😄), and the personal message in the box made it even more special.

We’re so excited to be part of the community and can’t wait to keep spreading the joy together ✨

Dear friends, last month we sadly had to say goodbye to our very special and always cheerful Meet & Greet officer, Bruno 🐾🥹🧡

Bruno had been an integral part of our office life since 2016. What started as giving an abandoned frightened doggy a home turned into him becoming a much-loved part of our team.

If you ever visited us, chances are you were welcomed by Bruno first! He was our daily dose of happiness, calm on busy days, our excuse for a break, and always there for a play or cuddle.

And it wasn’t just us who loved him… Our clients, friends and visitors adored him too. (a few delivery drivers may have taken a step back - not because he wasn’t friendly, but because he was a very enthusiastic Vizsla!) 🐶

Some of you would always ask if Bruno would be in the office when you were coming to visit us, knowing you’d get a very VIP welcome from him 😊

We’ll miss our Bruno a lot, and we are ever so grateful to have had him as a forever part of our story 🧡 RIP Bruno
