It’s been an emotional week for our family.

Earlier this week, our tribunal for Gray’s SEN school place was vacated. Then, the very next working day, we received the offer of an SEN school place.

As if that wasn’t emotional enough, his nursery shared a video on Instagram. Each child held up a baby photo before the camera cut to them today, smiling and ready for their next chapter. I’ll admit it I sobbed.

Tomorrow, Gray “graduates” from nursery.

How is the little boy who started there at just three months old already ready for Reception?

As accountants and business owners, we’re always focused on deadlines, clients, growth, and the next task on the list. But moments like these are a reminder that while we’re busy building businesses, our children are growing up too.

Time doesn’t slow down. Sometimes it feels like all we have to do is blink, and another milestone has passed.

Today, I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received, for the wonderful start Gray has had at nursery, and for the exciting journey ahead.

Here’s to celebrating the wins in business, but never forgetting to celebrate the moments that matter most at home. ❤️

Conversation with a client last week:

Client: “Everyone's doing it."

Me: "Everyone?"

Client: "Well... there is this fella on Facebook with a Lamborghini."

Five minutes later we'd established two things:

It wasn't tax avoidance.
His Lamborghini probably isn't his either (defo AI)

We binned the dodgy scheme, did some proper tax planning instead, and saved tax without creating evidence for HMRC.

Your accountant should save you tax, not give HMRC a reason to remember your name.

A little bit of a different post from me this morning 😊

Our lovely client approached me with a request the other night I was so curious about.

She asked how I’d feel about dealing with bras being sent in the post to our office ….

My answer: Oh please tell me more my dear 👀

As we are registered office for majority of our clients dealing with post is not an unusual request, but I have to admit , i don’t think I’ve ever received a bra yet 😉

The campaign she is currently running is to help save people’s lives … CPR, on women, and training people to carry it out.

What a campaign to have a tiny part in supporting!

So we welcome all the donations anyone can pass across ❤️

Please see Rachel Elliott flyer attached , and if you wish to donate some bras contact her in the first instance or send over to our office and we’ll let her know

A phone call on my drive home last night had me laughing way too hard.

I have a client who will come up with some of the most weird and wonderful ways to reduce his tax.

Usually it in involves a You tube video from an American “influencer “, or some random down the pub

My unpopular opinion: Paying more tax isn't always a bad thing.

Before you scroll...

I'm not saying you should pay more than you need to.

I'm saying too many business owners make decisions based on avoiding tax instead of growing their business.

Buying things you don't need because they're "tax deductible."

Turning down opportunities because "I'll pay more tax."

Here's the reality:

More tax usually means more profit.

Good tax planning should support your business not drive it.

As the old saying says- don’t let the tax tail wag the dog

I'd rather help you build a profitable business than save tax on one that's standing still.

Agree or disagree?

A little VAT deadline day observation...

VAT returns often get treated as just another deadline.

But they can actually tell you a lot about the health of your business.

When we work with new clients, it's not uncommon to find bookkeeping that's become rushed, receipts missing, transactions miscategorised, or records that simply don't reflect what's really happening in the business.

The result? Business owners spend more time worrying about HMRC, less time understanding their numbers, and miss opportunities to make better financial decisions.

The truth is, your accountant should do more than submit a VAT return.
They should understand how your business operates, help you build efficient systems, and give you confidence that your finances are accurate.

That's why I'm a big believer in using the right technology. Tools like Xero, Dext, and Apron (or even Xero's built-in receipt capture) can take away much of the admin and make keeping on top of your VAT far less stressful.

The lesson?

Don't judge your accountant solely on whether they file your VAT return on time. Judge them on whether they help you understand your business, save you time, and give you confidence in your numbers.

If you're constantly chasing receipts, unsure whether your bookkeeping is accurate, or dreading every VAT deadline, it might be time to review your systems.
