Today is National Checklist Day, which sounds like an ideal opportunity to make a list of what you need to do to get your accounts in order.

Why not think about pulling together the information you need for your Self-Assessment Tax Return and perhaps submit it earlier than normal to receive any rebates quicker?

As accountants, the earlier clients send us the information needed to help them with their tax return, the easier it is for everyone, particularly if there are questions which need answering and blanks which need filling in.

If you’ve got any questions or need any help, please call our team on: 01892 513515 or email: [email protected]

Chancellor John Healey stated in his first Budget that it was his intention to give Britain some breathing space on the cost of living and the cost of business, while maintaining financial discipline and complying with his fiscal rules.

The good news comes largely in the form of help with fuel and energy for households and business rates relief for small businesses. He imposed a tax surcharge on banks to help fund these measures, recalling the bank bailout by government two decades ago and arguing it was time for the banks to return the favour.

In this document we have summarised the main tax proposals and their impact and
also included reminders of some matters announced in previous Budgets but only
now coming into force:https://www.lewisandco.biz/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Budget-2026.pdf

If you would like to discuss what it all means for you or your business, we will be happy to help: 01892 513515.

AI is impacting us all – in both our personal lives and in business – and we can guarantee that every single company is utilising it at some level. AI can process large amounts of data in a matter of moments, automate repetitive tasks and find patterns that the human eye simply can’t detect.

While we acknowledge that AI can be beneficial when handling routine bookkeeping and flagging errors – can it replace your accountant entirely? We think not.

"Gary and the team are excellent. They’re always quick, responsive and helpful to any questions I have. I’ve been working with them for about a year, and shall continue to, in the future.

As a first time business owner, they have been brilliant in helping me navigate all the obligations of being a business owner and dealing with HMRC. They’re always efficient and supportive. I can’t recommend them enough."

Regardless of what business you are running, there’s always an element of administration that comes with it – whether that’s bookkeeping, invoicing, dealing with customer enquires or managing appointments. With the rise of messaging and emails, it’s become easier to do some tasks without admin support, which might have necessitated a letter in the past. Even so, while business owners might still require some level of admin support, this may only be for a few hours a week or during particularly busy periods.

It’s not surprising then to see the rise of virtual assistants (VAs), there to provide vital support as and when needed. These people typically work from home or might pop into an office when required – maybe once a month to help with payroll or invoicing.

The Society of Virtual Assistants (SVA) has 6,000 members across the UK but, of course, there will be many more VAs than that. It’s an industry which is likely to grow as businesses are opting for flexible admin support over hiring full-time members of team – which comes with all manner of HR obligations, as well as National Insurance contributions etc.

The flexible nature of the role also means clients can buy more time when they need it due, perhaps, to seasonal fluctuations in business.
Most VAs work for a variety of businesses – either on a regular basis or on an ad hoc basis.

Here at Lewis & Co, we support several people who provide VA services and they offer different sets of skills, including diary management – taking calls or proactively pursuing potential clients – chasing invoices or helping with bookkeeping etc.

We support virtual VAs with all the accountancy support they need from advising on what they can and can’t claim for and whether to register for VAT etc. Sometimes, a VA might be asked to support a business ‘in real life’ perhaps representing the company on a stand at an exhibition and we can advise on what to claim in this instance etc.

If you’re a VA who needs support with their accountancy needs or you’re considering launching a business in that sector, do call us on: 01892 513515.
