Are your clients ready for their first MTD quarterly update?

7th August marks the first quarterly update deadline of the year for clients now within scope of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. For many, this is a new process, and early guidance can prevent avoidable mistakes.

✅ Confirm which clients fall within MTD scope this year
✅ Check their digital record-keeping is accurate and up to date
✅ Support them through their first submission using the right software
✅ Spot any gaps before HMRC does

⚠️ Clients unfamiliar with MTD are more likely to make early errors without guidance.

Helping clients navigate a new compliance process is exactly the kind of support that builds long-term trust.

The best business relationships are built on trust - and that includes the relationship between accountants and their clients.

Over time, strong partnerships go beyond compliance and tax returns. They’re built on understanding, consistency, and being there when businesses need support.

When trust is in place, conversations become easier, planning becomes clearer, and decisions become more confident.

At AIMS Accountants, we believe long-term client relationships are at the heart of good business advice. We don’t just work for clients - we work with them.

Payroll is one of the most important areas accountants support their clients with, but it’s often underestimated until something goes wrong.

For accountants, payroll isn’t just processing payments - it’s a key part of delivering compliance, accuracy and value-added client service.

Key areas to stay on top of include:

• Accurate and timely payroll processing
• Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC
• Correct treatment of benefits and deductions
• Keeping up with changing payroll legislation

Payroll errors can lead to penalties, client frustration and unnecessary risk - so getting it right first time is essential.

For many practices, reviewing how payroll is delivered can also improve efficiency and strengthen client relationships.

Skills shortages aren’t just a challenge for small businesses - they’re something accountants are increasingly helping clients navigate.

For many clients, growth is being held back by a lack of skilled staff, making recruitment, retention and development key financial considerations.

As accountants, this is an opportunity to add real value beyond compliance:

• Help clients understand the cost and ROI of apprenticeships
• Support budgeting for training and development
• Factor staffing growth into cash flow planning
• Advise on long-term workforce investment decisions

Advisory conversations like these are where accountants can have the biggest impact on client success.

The traditional accountancy career path isn't for everyone.

If you're feeling restricted by targets, office politics, or a lack of flexibility, it may be time to consider a different route.

At AIMS, accountants can build their own practice while helping local businesses thrive, all with the backing of a nationwide network.

Many of our members joined looking for greater autonomy, a better work-life balance, and the opportunity to create something of their own.

Could that be what you're looking for too?

Wimbledon is back, and while the players are focused on their game, accountants should be focused on theirs - supporting clients through a key trading period.

The summer months often bring shifts in customer demand, staffing availability and cash flow, all of which can have a direct impact on client businesses.

This is a good time to be proactive with clients:

🎾 Review cash flow forecasts and highlight risks early
🎾 Encourage prompt debtor management to protect cash flow
🎾 Plan ahead for payroll and holiday staffing costs
🎾 Offer a mid-year financial check-in to refocus goals

The best accountants don’t just respond to issues - they help clients prepare before they arise.

How are you supporting your clients through the summer trading period?

The FIFA World Cup isn’t just a big event for businesses - it can also be a valuable opportunity for accountants advising them.

Periods of increased customer demand, like major sporting events, often create cash flow pressure, staffing challenges and additional business activity that clients need support navigating.

As an accountant, now is a good time to be proactive with your clients:

⚽ Help them forecast cash flow for busy trading periods
⚽ Review staffing cost implications and payroll planning
⚽ Ensure event-related expenses are properly tracked
⚽ Identify tax-deductible opportunities they may overlook

The accountants who support clients early are often the ones who add the most value when trading conditions change.

How do you help your clients prepare for peak trading periods like the World Cup?

Take Your Dog to Work Day is a reminder of the importance of workplace wellbeing, balance, and creating positive working environments.

For accountants, busy periods and deadlines can often make it difficult to step away from work, making wellbeing initiatives and supportive cultures increasingly important.

Even small moments throughout the day can help reduce stress, improve morale, and create healthier working habits over time.

Sometimes, the smallest breaks can make the biggest difference.

24/06/2026

Summer often brings changing demands for businesses, from staffing challenges to fluctuating customer activity and holiday schedules.

For accountants, this can be an important time to help clients review forecasts, cash flow expectations, and upcoming commitments before quieter or busier periods begin.

Forward planning can help businesses feel more prepared and reduce unnecessary pressure later in the year.

Proactive conversations now can create greater stability moving forward.
