🗣 Recruitment Market Update: We are seeing more and more Head of Finance, Finance Director & Financial Controller roles hitting the Essex market. April has been the busiest month so far for the Qualified level this year and is showing no signs on slowing down. Many companies I am speaking to are asking their finance teams to do more as their functions remain quite lean. With this in mind, businesses are looking for senior leaders who are hands-on, preferring action rather than just overseeing a function. So, to anyone on the lookout for a new role, my advice is this: don't hesitate to show that you're open and ready to dive into tasks when needed. They are looking for more "doers" rather than "reviewers".   When speaking to any candidate on the lookout for a new role, my advice is always to highlight your willingness to roll your sleeves up and get involved in all levels of finance , no matter the task. While you may have previously led big teams and acted in a reviewer capacity, the market has turned and you may need to take a step back to further add value to a company. If you're looking for your next role or simply want an update on what the market is looking like, please feel free to drop me a message or call on 01371 832922. #FinancialControllers #FinanceDirectors #HeadofFinance

Time To Pay is a common solution for UK businesses struggling to meet tax liabilities, however, not every company will be able to successfully negotiate this type of arrangement. With a Time to Pay arrangement, no debt will be written off, therefore you must be able to demonstrate your ability to repay the full amount of your tax arrears (and continuing tax liabilities) within a period typically not exceeding 12 months. https://lnkd.in/esM9MhXG

🚀 "There are plenty of opportunities out there in Audit, but firms are being a lot more picky." As Sebastian Thomson explains in the clip below, we've noticed a shift in hiring this year for Audit roles in Practice. While 'job hopping' wasn't too much of an issue previously, in the current job market, we've noticed that hiring managers in Practice now highly value CV stability. Firms want to feel confident that candidates are going to stay in the role long-term, so when applying for your next job, it's worth thinking about whether this is an opportunity that aligns with your career goals and that you could see yourself staying in for a while. ✨ #hiringtrends #audit #tipsforjobseekers #publicpractice

Policy Paper - Tax administration and maintenance summary: Spring 2024 Published 18 April 2024 Tackling Non-Compliance in the Umbrella Companies Market The government remains concerned about the scale of non-compliance in the umbrella company market, and the detrimental impact that this has on workers, taxpayers and the labour market. Last summer, the government consulted on options to reduce tax non-compliance in the market and will publish a response to its consultation in due course. To support workers and businesses that use umbrella companies, HMRC will publish new guidance later this year, including an online pay checking tool to help umbrella company workers to check whether the correct deductions are being made from their pay. The government is minded to introduce a due diligence requirement to drive out bad actors from labour supply chains. To this end it will continue to engage with the recruitment industry and other key stakeholders on the detail of a statutory due diligence regime for businesses that use umbrella companies, and ensure it has the best understanding of the impacts that this could have on reducing non-compliance.

Interesting update from HMRC's latest PAYE bulletin (Dec): Still no real detail behind the Payrolling of benefits from April 2026 - "We will provide updates on plans to publish draft legislation and technical specifications". The cynic in me expects that payroll companies and software providers will be left to figure out how to do it! Rather amusingly there will be "an end of year process introduced to amend the taxable values of any BiKs that cannot be determined during the tax year". Sort of like a P11D then... although HMRC do expect the values to be accurate during the year, which is often more difficult than it sounds when things can change, often frequently. #PAYE #employmenttax #HRUX https://lnkd.in/gz8mfuU3
