Making Tax Digital: simpler than you think ✅

At Brown & Co, we’re a digital-first business, so helping clients adapt to Making Tax Digital (MTD) is something we’re already doing every day.

But what does MTD actually mean for you?

In short, it’s about moving your records and tax returns online using simple, secure software.

And while it might feel like another change to get your head around, it can actually make life a lot easier.

Here’s how:
🧾 Less paperwork: No more digging through receipts or spreadsheets; everything is stored digitally in one place.
✅ Fewer mistakes: Digital records help spot errors early and reduce manual input, giving you more confidence in your figures.
📅 Stay up to date: Quarterly updates mean no last-minute rush and a clearer picture of your tax throughout the year.
📊 Better visibility: You can see your income, expenses and estimated tax bill in real time, helping with planning and decision-making.
🕑 Save time: Many tasks are automated through software, freeing you up to focus on running your business.

MTD isn’t about making things harder; it’s about giving you more control.

If you’d like to understand what MTD means for your business, our team is here to help you get set up and confident with the process.

Netwalking at Nicky Nook – what a day ☀️🚶

Friday gave us perfect weather for our netwalking event at Nicky Nook. Blue skies, stunning views and plenty of great conversations along the way.

It was fantastic to connect with so many people, all while supporting an important local cause. A big thank you to Lisa Archer, Katrina Hampson and the team from Furness Building Society for partnering with us.

We loved hearing more from Laurance Hancock about the incredible work The Boathouse Youth are doing across North Lancashire, and we’re so pleased to be able to support them.

And of course, finishing the afternoon at The Bellflower for drinks and a catch-up was the perfect end to a great event.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such an enjoyable afternoon.

We’re proud to be supporting this year’s Southern District YFC Field Day 🚜

On Saturday 23 May, Broughton Young Farmers Club will host the annual Southern District Field Day at Parsonage Farm, Silecroft, near Millom.

From tractor handling to flower arranging, and tug of war to crafts, there’s something for everyone.

Our team is closely connected with YFC too. Our own Emma is one of the Sedbergh YFC's tug of war coaches, pictured here with the team at the pre-Field Day competition day on May 9.

Events like this play an important role in bringing the rural community together and supporting the next generation of farmers.

Best of luck to everyone taking part, we hope you have a fantastic day 👏
