Let's see what the new year brings to us all. No more pandemics please. Wishing you all a happy new 2021.  
Best wishes, Pauline.

It's not you, it's us!
As our long standing clients know, we've been around for a while.
With 2020 being a bit rubbish (to say the least), we decided we needed a brand update to cheer us all up and ring in 2021 with a new face and here it is. 
We are now Mad About Accountancy Ltd. We always were but now it's official!
We needed a new look and a new name to better reflect us and our business.  
Happy, mad, bonkers tea drinkers!
Please bear with us while we get busy updating everything we need to. 
Thanks,
Pauline. 

This is good news.
The UK Government has reviewed the terms of the scheme and announced that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) will remain at the current level of 80% of usual wages for the hours not worked, and will be extended until the end of April‌ ‌2021. See gov.uk for further details. 

We can't help feeling a little festive at the moment. What a year we've all had!
I think we could all do with a little Christmas cheer. Hence, we've giving a little
Christmas lift to our website. We hope you like it!

Strange times for us all.  Even though we're still super busy, it feels a bit like we're in limbo, waiting for something to happen. 
Several bits of news from No 10. Rishi Sunak's budget last week. a few surprises there. I'm pleased about the changes to Stamp Duty, long overdue I feel and will help people who want to move house. 
I'm not sure about the eat out discount, I'm partial to a takeaway myself. 
Flexible furlough. Great for employers who can now bring staff back on a part time basis. More information on the gov.uk website along with all the other updates.
Stay safe everyone.

The Government's furlough scheme has been extended to the end of October, announced Chancellor Rishi Sunak today. 
Employees will continue to receive 80% of their wages with employers contributing to the wages costs from August. See BBC News website for details, link below.

We hope you're all staying well and positive.

New year and new decade. If you're rushing about like a headless thing and drowning in paperwork, maybe now is a good time to take stock of your business and think about where you want to be this time next year. Organised or not?!  Need help?
