“We were looking to buy a country hotel, which was a huge career change at an important juncture in our lives. We were advised to engage the expertise of an accountant as part of the purchase; our solicitor recommended we speak to Richard Place Dobson.”

We assisted with the purchase of the property along with the business plan for its opening. Our assistance aided in the development of additional plans for the hotel and saw Glewstone Court Country House be awarded 2 AA Rosettes for culinary excellence.

There was a 17% increase in scam reports targeting taxpayers in 2024 compared with 2023 📝

Fraudsters often pose as HMRC, using fake tax refund offers or demanding unpaid tax to steal personal and financial details.

Suspicious messages or unexpected contacts should be ignored - do not reply, share information, download attachments or click links, as these can lead to data theft or malware attacks.

Protecting your charity and its advisers against the cost of HMRC enquires is known as 'fee protection' 💪

We provide fee protection solutions that cover the cost of our work on all aspects of HMRC enquiries. There is no surefire way to know if HMRC is likely to investigate, which makes planning for the cost of this difficult.

We are here to provide peace of mind and make you feel in control. Contact us now to see how we can help you:

Rising costs for employers: What you need to know 💡

From April, employers will face increased costs due to hikes in the minimum wage and National Insurance (NI). According to the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS):

💰 A full-time minimum wage worker will cost businesses £2,583 more annually.
📈 NI contributions per worker will rise by over 60%, jumping from £31 to £50 weekly.
🏢 The total cost of employing a minimum wage worker will reach £24,806/year.

While employees will see a modest increase in take-home pay, these changes may strain businesses, potentially impacting hiring and investment plans.
