Get Set-Up For Your Long-Term Future, Today

Every day in parliament seems to bring a new surprise, as we draw closer to 31st October and the deadline for the UK leaving the EU. Many accountants have been preparing for a long time for Brexit, and you may have clients who have already planned for every scenario. While we are entering unpredictable times, one thing is clear: your clients will need you more than ever.

But when clients turn to you for business advice to help guide them through the uncertainty, will you be ready? Many accountants we meet say it is getting harder to find new clients. Some self-employed people are turning to permanent roles ahead of IR35 rules hitting the private sector. Others are doing their own VAT filing through software programmes thanks to MTD. Even those who are hanging onto a reasonable number of clients have noticed fees going down.

The message is this: now is the time to take the opportunity to rethink your practice, and make the move from compliance to advisory. It makes sense to use the next five years to develop a new business model – one that can withstand these uncertain times and technological changes.

Since July, we’ve received more enquiries from accountants like you than in all of our previous history. For a modest investment but significant return, you can increase your client base and set up as a Runagood Business Centre. If you are unsure of how to switch to an advisory role, we can provide training or you can team up with one of our Business Advisors who will take care of that for you.

It’s time to secure your long-term future.
