Making sure the region ' s businesses are in the know
Ray Priestman , Practice Manager at Davies Tracey , shares his thoughts on why it is more important than ever that clients feel fully informed by their accountants
Last year , many businesses faced with the financial uncertainties caused by the pandemic turned to their accountants to steer them through the turmoil , trusting their advisers to help them manage the present in order for their business to have a future .
The first of these events , starting in July , will explore HR issues arising from changes in workforces over the past year , through furlough , home working arrangements , and returning to the workplace - along with the challenges these create in processing payrolls .
For accountancy , tax planning and business advice ... You ' re in safe hands with us .
Whilst accountancy practices offering a true advisory service were happy to step into that role , it is now time to alter the approach as businesses enter a period of recovery , and business leaders use the lessons learnt during the pandemic to plan for the future . Now , more than ever , a strong partnership with your accountant is essential and will see businesses fully informed to enable them to make the necessary decisions to move their businesses forward .
With that in mind , here at Davies Tracey we ' re launching a new series of events to cover topics we know will create opportunities ( or prevent pitfalls ) for our clients - topics that we believe the region ' s businesses will benefit from being ' in the know ' about .
Further planned topics include Research and Development tax reliefs , VAT obligations and reforms , next steps in Making Tax Digital and
more . For further information / to book , see www . daviestracey . co . uk / events
The events will be short yet in-depth , offering easy-to-follow guidance and practical assistance , and businesses who aren ' t clients of Davies Tracey are welcome , as we want the region ' s businesses to have plenty of opportunity to gather relevant information for their growth .
If your find that your own accountant isn ' t pre-empting questions you have as you plan for the rest of the year and beyond , it may be time to switch to an adviser who does .
Our team provide a confidential , reliable and tailored service .
