During these difficult times, many clients are turning to their accountants for help and support to help keep their businesses stable.

Offer advice

The current climate means that you clients will be more in need than ever of your advice. A lot of businesses have been hit hard and will need your help to bring their finances in order and rebuild.

Offering more tailored advisory services and coaching are not only great solutions for your clients needs, but also can be profitable for you too. 

Government schemes and loans

There are some government schemes and loans that your client may not be aware of. Learning what is appropriate for them and helping them apply can help support their businesses at this time. With new schemes, such as the Plan for Jobs released, and the furlough scheme ending, you can advise your clients on how to keep up with current regulations. 

Clients are also able to defer their Self Assessment tax payments if they are unable to pay due to coronavirus. There are also financial support schemes available to businesses that have been affected by the crisis. 

Keep in touch regularly

Staying in regular contact with clients during this time is a necessity. Their needs may be constantly changing as businesses reopen and government schemes evolve or end. Simply offering your clients reassurance can be valuable too. 

Look after yourself too
