Tis The Season….for Tax Returns!

The lights are twinkling, the smell of mulled wine and mince pies are in the air. Yes, that’s right, Christmas time is here! Whilst most businesses are starting to slow down ready for the festive close down, we (and all other accountants out there) are working at 100mph to make sure that all the tax returns get filed before the end of January.

Keeping Current With Xero

As proactive and forward-thinking accountants it’s so important for us to keep up with the evolution of cloud based bookkeeping technology, so that we can effectively advise our clients all year round.

Aligning the Vision

When a person decides to start a business they tend to think “what do I want to achieve”, but then rarely stop and take stock of the achievements they accomplish as they are happening. This part of the process is just as important as the initial vision setting because it can help you align what you wanted to achieve, with where you are now, and then where you want to continue going in the future. Here at Accounting Connections the team and I recently sat down to do just that.

Not All Heroes Wear Capes

How many times have you gone to use the services of a business where they say “we’re different because we really care about our customers/clients”? I would imagine a lot. Well how many of those businesses have been able to prove how much they care with actual examples of times they’ve gone over and above to help a client in need?

If you are a business owner reading this right now then you will have undoubtedly fallen into the trap we all fall into at some point in time, where you spend too much time working in the business, and not enough time working on it. Rest assured that you aren’t alone!

The 2023 Staffing Crisis

This month we took on a few new team members on a trial basis. We welcomed them into the team and provided them with lots of support and training. Unfortunately, it turned out that they weren’t the right fit for our team, or for our clients, so the decision was made to end their trials a bit early.

Hitting a 5 year milestone

June 6th 2023 marked 5 years of me working with Accounting Connections, and what a 5 years it has been! I’ve learnt so much in my time here, and it really has flown by. I originally joined ACL on a part-time basis because, to be honest, I wasn’t sure if the accounting industry was going […]
