Thursday Thoughts, did you know that major Companies House changes are coming for Limited Companies?

Last week, Companies House confirmed significant changes to how company accounts will be filed from April 2028.

Every UK company will be required to file accounts using commercial software, and the existing paper and web filing routes for accounts will be phased out. There will also be additional filing requirements for many small companies and micro-entities as part of the government's drive to improve transparency and tackle economic crime.

Now, before anyone panics, there is still plenty of time to prepare. However, this is another reminder that the days of leaving compliance until the last minute are disappearing.

Good bookkeeping, accurate records and appropriate software are becoming increasingly important for every business, not just larger companies.

My advice....

Use the next couple of years wisely. Review your systems, understand what information you are currently producing, and make sure your accounting processes are fit for the future.

The businesses that prepare early will find these changes relatively straightforward.

Those that don't may find themselves facing unnecessary stress, additional costs and a last-minute scramble to comply.

Have you heard about these changes yet?

My Tuesday tip today is create a budget. Do you know your numbers?

Quite often people just let their finances drift, they have a rough idea of what is being spent where but don't have definite figures. They think they know their spending or their income but aren't 100% sure.

They don't bother checking the bank and matching income vs outgoings, until they have to for a reason, and perhaps then it is too late, the money is spent on that recurring app subscription they didn't realise was being taken....or the many subscriptions that aren't being used but take a little money every month.

Take some time to have a look at your numbers. Focus on setting a budget and goals to smooth your financial position, sometimes even just knowing the actual figures can make a real difference.

My Tuesday challenge, take a short time to explore your numbers, you never know what you might discover!

Do you get asked the right questions? In your business do you have people who will ask you the right questions, to help you get the answers you need to move forward.

One thing I get the most comments on when I hold client meetings is my questions. I am not there to judge, I am there to help and gentle probe for answers to make best out the situation. To help save money, to reduce stress and keep the business going, if that is what the owners want.

I love to untangle financial problems and issues. I love to take on HMRC, especially when they or others have got it wrong.

I guess I have a gift (or shed loads of experience) to ask the right questions to get the results required.

How about you, do you have someone asking the right questions for your business?

The rain is a welcome relief from that hot stifling weather last week, but summer is the perfect time to consider how your finances are stacking up....are they feeling like a wet down pour or a cold Mr whippy on a hot day?

I know I would prefer Mr Whippy with a flake and some sauce, how about you?

It is Saturday, I am appreciating my pond and taking some time to sort a few things! I could liken accounts to "catching" fish in a barrel (if I use the actual quote, I may get banned), it all easy until it's not!

I am not saying anything more as it is Saturday, the sun is shining and the fish need to get back in the big pond!!

Have a great weekend!

Have you heard of the beautiful swan exterior and the paddling like a frenzy underneath the water?

I think this may be more common than I think.

Sometimes, there are circumstances beyond our control in the back office that we have to deal with; we have to find solutions and fix problems without affecting our clients. The beautiful swan keeps gliding across the pond.

Our mission is also to make sure your swan keeps gliding on the pond. To offer support, guidance and keep your business afloat.

If you feel more frenzied duck than swan and your numbers are all up in the air, let's have a chat.

We specialised in messy financial situations, we are excellent at calming the frenzied duck and producing calm, gliding swans...you just need to let us know :)

Tuesday is certainly warm here in the office, the beautiful sunshine over the bank holiday weekend made for a great visit to Hay Festival, but phewww it was hot!

The Bee was busy on a beautiful flower; the weather doesn't stop play, but it certainly slows me down a little.

A bit like not getting your finances sorted, it doesn't stop play but certainly slows down the process when you need to submit a return, or work on a tax rebate!

How was your extended weekend?

Tuesday Tip - Negotiate better deals, rates or discounts, especially with long standing relationships.

If you don't ask, you don't get. Things are tough out there at the moment, but a conversation is always worth having...you never know what deal could be lurking around the corner.

Always worth an ask!
