Professional Services Round Up: September 2024

Professional services

In this month’s Not The Ordinary Professional Services newsletter, we explore key developments impacting the professional services industry, offering valuable insights and practical strategies to help your business thrive in uncertain times. Here’s what you’ll find:

  • Upcoming Tax Changes: Key insights on what the October 30th Budget might mean for your business, including potential shifts in Capital Gains and Inheritance Tax.
  • Business Involvencies: Why the level of business insolvencies has reached the same level as during the Financial Crisis of 2008/09, and what your business can do in response to this.
  • Close Brothers and Regulatory Scrutiny: Why the decision taken by Close Brothers to sell off their Wealth Management arm may signal what is yet to come due to increasing regulatory scrutiny.

Stay ahead of the curve with expert advice on cash flow management, tax optimisation, and more!
