Just had an email from a client who is having a problem with their HSBC account. They're looking to switch and asked if I've heard of a bank called Tide. Can't say I have, looking them up it appears to be app based. Anyone on here have any clients using Tide?

A stand at Accountex caught my eye called the Entrenpreneurs Circle. As I plan to expand my business this year I had a chat with them.

I'd like to build a website for my bookkeeping business, can anyone recommend any easy to use website building software/services? I'm not a web-designer and don't have any coding experience so something simple for a beginner would be good.

Just had an email from HMRC about the new fees from 1st May...£300!!! I'm lost for words, but had to put on here how appalled I am that yet again small businesses get hit with what is effectively a protection racket!!

I feel that software companies are pushing us this way by the way in which it is marketed to the general public. I've always been really happy using VT and Sage bu...
