Are your clients ghosting your invoices? 👻🛑

There is nothing scarier for a small business owner than checking the bank account and realising you are owed thousands in late payments. Chasing them down takes time, and no one likes making those awkward phone calls.

Let the cloud be the bad guy for you, that’s where Adfin comes in ☁️

By connecting your accounting software up with Adfin, you can put your invoice chasing on auto-pilot. Once set up, you just choose your rules (e.g., send a polite nudge 3 days before it’s due, and a firmer email 7 days overdue), and the system handles the rest automatically.

Your clients get a prompt, you get paid faster, and it takes zero effort from you. 💷

Today is 💚🧠

In our fast-paced professional lives, finding ways to manage stress is vital.

For me, the best ways to hit the reset button are stepping away from screens, taking long walks in nature, and having good conversations—although my feet don't always thank me!

I recently took a trip to the stunning Brecon Beacons to tackle Pen y Fan—walking 26 miles in the mountain air and green spaces did wonders for a reset! ⛰️🥾🐑

Things we like to balance:

📊 Accounts
💷 Budgets
📅 Workloads
⚖️ Work & life

We're accountants. Balance is kind of our thing.

But work is only one part of the equation.

Taking time to switch off, enjoy life and recharge isn't a distraction from doing a good job — it's part of it. 💜

Happy National Work Life Week from the Inform team!

🎃 Beware the Shoebox of Doom… 👻

Every accountant has seen one.

A box (or drawer… or carrier bag) full of crumpled receipts, faded petrol station tickets and coffee bills that have somehow survived an entire year.

And then, just before the year-end accounts are due, they all come out. 😱

But there’s a much less terrifying way to keep on top of your expenses.

With Apron, you can capture invoices and receipts straight from your phone, email or WhatsApp, with the information flowing directly into your accounting system.

No shoebox.
No paper mountain.
No year-end receipt archaeology. 🏺

And because Apron also brings payments and expense cards into the same workflow, you can do much more than just capture the paperwork.

One place. Less admin. Much less scary.

Want to banish the Shoebox of Doom for good? 👻

Take a look at our blog to see how Apron can help streamline your expense process (link in comments).👇

It turns out we're much better at balancing the books than we are at drawing… 😂

To celebrate National Doodle Day, we asked everyone to put pen to paper and let their creativity flow. ✏️

Safe to say, the numbers are looking considerably more professional than the artwork!

Happy National Doodle Day from all of us at Inform! 🎉

You can only run out of money once. 🛑

Even profitable businesses struggle when invoices are paid late. Are you just hoping clients will pay?

Without proactive credit control, late payments threaten your operations. But smart changes—like upfront financial checks and automating payment chasing in Xero—make a massive difference.

Want to get paid on time and build consistent cash flow? 🚀

🚨 Beware the Overdrawn Director’s Loan Trap! 🚨

Borrowing from your own company seems harmless, but an overdrawn balance can trigger a domino effect of hefty tax bills. And no, you can't simply "write it off"!

If your balance creeps over £10k, you risk personal tax charges and a 15% National Insurance hit for your company. Leave it unpaid 9 months after your year-end, and your business faces a massive 35.75% Section 455 tax bill. Think wiping the slate clean is easier? Writing it off counts as a personal dividend, which triggers heavy personal tax and hidden NI costs.

💡 Pro Tip: Actively track your loan balance on your Xero or FreeAgent dashboard so it never catches you off guard!

Don't leave your cash flow to chance. Send us a message today to map out a clear, tax-efficient strategy for your business. 📩

We work with clients across a whole bunch of different accounting platforms, and hands down, the most common question we get asked is: “Which one is actually right for my business?!”

It’s a great question! Whether you’re leaning toward Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent, the best choice always comes down to how your business operates and what tech you already use.

So, we thought we’d put together a full, no-nonsense comparison to answer this exact question and help you find the perfect match for your setup! 🚀
