Just had an email from a client who is having a problem with their HSBC account. They're looking to switch and asked if I've heard of a bank called Tide. Can't say I have, looking them up it appears to be app based. Anyone on here have any clients using Tide?

A stand at Accountex caught my eye called the Entrenpreneurs Circle. As I plan to expand my business this year I had a chat with them.

I'd like to build a website for my bookkeeping business, can anyone recommend any easy to use website building software/services? I'm not a web-designer and don't have any coding experience so something simple for a beginner would be good.

Just had an email from HMRC about the new fees from 1st May...£300!!! I'm lost for words, but had to put on here how appalled I am that yet again small businesses get hit with what is effectively a protection racket!!

Just a thought. With the introduction of MTD will it still be necessary to retain paper records for the required number of years as we do currently?
