FT if you look back through your old blogs, when you mentioned doing CTA, I said you would be better off doing ATT first as you will struggle to fit in CTA.
Then you have hit the problem. If you postpone your exam you will never do it, keep to the date as planned even it means cramming for the last 3 weeks before the exam moving it is easy and if you do that will be the end of of your CTA as you will never do it.
With regards your year ends all companies have 9 months to the accounts so if they are spread over the year it would even out your work. Having company year ends all merge in with SA tax returns is creating a head ache for yourself.
I tend to leave most year ends the same as when the company is formed as sometime having a company year fall into 2 CT years can be a benefit for certain tax legislation
As I said in my comments on the post you’ve linked to, regarding 31 March year ends, it’s a huge problem.
When I first joined our practice 9 and a half years ago, the approach was to always incorporate clients and give them a March year end. That was back in the days when you had 10 months to file the accounts, and it caused loads of problems - rushed off your feet in December and January and [***] all to do in February, March and April.
We have a good spread of clients across the year now, with management accounts and other services thrown in we don’t really have any quiet periods which means our clients are getting good service all year round and our staff are utilised fully and not killing themselves over December and January.
Like Glennzy said you need to sit the CTA exam in May. If you don’t, you’ll find another excuse to put it off in November and before you know it you’ll have waited a few years and then think what’s the point.
You rcan ally do need to focus, if you want to grow your practice and make more money, then spend all your time doing the work and reviewing the work, and let referrals and some automated marketing (website, email marketing, PPC) and of course your shop front, bring in the new business you need
For a practice of your size and which doesn’t offer face to face meetings or any advisory services, you don’t need fancy proposal software, you just need a simple matrix and some word/pdf templates.
I admire your honesty when you blog, you should sit and reflect on what you have written and I think you’ll see a pattern of jumping from one thing to another, without ever staying focussed and seeing something through to the end.
