Advent Accountants, 2a St Martins Lane, York (2026)

Blending accounting and financial management services, we will navigate your numbers and grow with you. Our mission is to help the people who help people. That’s why we work with four core specialisms: charities, tutors, the performing arts and health and social care. Our strapline is navigating numbers, growing with you. It is the golden thread that runs through our accountancy practice. We want

your business or charity to have a sustainable future. As chartered management accountants, we don’t just check your accounts once a year; we plan for your growth with you. But we know choosing an accountant can feel overwhelming. Many of our clients have never worked with an accountant before. That’s one of the reasons why our name is Advent Accountants. Advent means new beginnings or arrivals. It forms the word adventure, which felt fitting to honour the journey you take with us from a start-up or solo business to a growing company. Or from a small charity to a national name. You’ll also find Advent in advancement. We’ll always listen to the services you need because it’s about advancing your business or non-profit organisation. We offer:

• Bookkeeping
• End of year accounts
• Management accounts
• Corporation tax returns
• Self-assessments
• Management advice
• Company formation services
• Insurance claims
• Tax planning
• Pricing strategies
• Fractional Finance Director services
• Charity independent examination

With branches in York and Hastings, we work with clients across the UK, both locally and nationally. Let’s plan for your future today.

“It's Only a Side Hustle…” We've heard this one before.

“I only sell a few things online.”

“I just do a bit of freelance work.”

“I've got a little side business.”

But when does a side hustle become something you need to think about from a tax perspective?

MTD: The First Deadline Has Passed

Making Tax Digital has officially moved from “something coming” to “something businesses are actually having to do.”

The first quarterly update deadline for eligible Income Tax customers was 7 August.

And the numbers suggest a lot of people weren't ready.

So what can we learn from that?

MTD isn't really just about submitting another tax return.

It's about having your financial records:

📊 Accurate
💻 Digital
📅 Up to date
🔍 Understandable

And perhaps the biggest change for some sole traders and landlords is getting used to looking at their numbers throughout the year, rather than scrambling at the end.

Our advice?

Don't wait for the next deadline to discover your bookkeeping isn't ready.

Is MTD going to change the way you manage your business?

Tax Planning Isn't Tax Avoidance

Good tax planning means understanding available allowances, reliefs, and opportunities within the rules.

It's about being prepared, not surprised.

The Cost of "Doing It Later"... "I'll sort the accounts later."

It's one of the most expensive phrases a business owner can say.

Falling behind on bookkeeping can lead to:
❌ Cash flow surprises
❌ Missed tax deadlines
❌ Poor decision-making
❌ Unnecessary stress

Keeping your finances up to date gives you the clarity to focus on running your organisation.

Throwing it back to the National Tutor Association Awards from last month! ✨

Looking back through these photos reminds us what a fantastic evening it was. We were incredibly proud to sponsor an event that celebrates the passion, dedication, and impact of tutors and education professionals across the UK. We were also especially proud that our Director, Stephen, had the honour of serving as one of the awards judges.

Here's to continuing to support the tutoring community and recognising the incredible work happening across the sector.
