With the Budget due on 26 November, speculation is mounting about which taxes could rise and where the Chancellor might look for extra revenue. Attention is shifting to the so-called “stealth” areas of the tax system. So what could be heading your way?

Even the most advanced accounting software is built on a principle that has stood the test of time: double entry bookkeeping. First described more than 500 years ago, it is the foundation of every set of accounts. So, what is double entry?

Winning new business is always positive, but before you commit to a new customer it is wise to carry out some checks. A little time spent at the start can save trouble later if the customer is unable, or unwilling, to pay. So what should you do?

For many business owners and high value individuals, protecting family wealth is as important as creating it. Succession planning, deciding how ownership and control will pass on to the next generation, is no longer just a matter for the future.

Interest rates have now settled at levels not seen for over a decade. That means every small business and higher-income individual should be thinking carefully about the money they owe and the money they hold. What does this mean for you?

It is common for small business owners to put themselves at the back of the queue when it comes to pay. Staff are paid, suppliers are paid, tax bills are covered, and then, if anything remains, the owner may take a share. Should the owner's pay be a higher priority though?
