COVID-19 has created an economic and health care crisis. As your accountant, we are here to provide advice and support to help steer your business through these turbulent times.
Helping you through the Coronavirus pandemic
To keep you up to speed with the latest developments, we are posting regular updates about support available for UK businesses. Read our blog articles below.
We are here to help
If you would like to talk to a qualified accountant about Government support, or any other financial matter, then please do not hesitate to get in touch. We keep in touch with clients in person, phone, email or conference and video calls. We are always on hand to offer support and guidance for your business throughout this testing time.
Should you require a face-to-face meeting, all visitors to the business, including staff, have to sanitise their hands before entering the building. Staff are advised to wear a mask and clients can if they wish to. We ensure that the appropriate social distancing is maintained, have screens on tables and make sure that offices are sanitised after each use.
