At a meeting on Friday, Steve identified a saving of over £10,000 per year for a client, which made his day after a difficult and unhappy meeting with someone earlier on.

Now HMRC have deferred the deadline for another week, to reflect the industrial action that disrupted their services recently. Happily, we don’t need it, as our clients are all sorted!
