Thrilled to welcome our newest clients The Women's Work Lab!
I discovered them (rather aptly!) at an event on International Women's Day back in March.
They do wonderful work with Mums across the south west, building their confidence and helping them get back into work.

Check out their website for their story:

I had a fantastic afternoon at the Building Brands Marketing Conference at Somerset County Cricket Club yesterday.
Really useful (and entertaining!) workshops from Teapot Creative and Evo Agency and I enjoyed the talks from the two Keynote Speakers, Andy Lambert and Bethany Joy.
Lots of lovely people and a real positive energy throughout (and the buffet lunch was 10/10!) ❤️

This sounds like a great afternoon for local small business owners. 🍊

15 days to go!

I'm thrilled to be teaming up again with the super talented Kirsten Rae from Rae & Co Creative to deliver one of the workshops at Somerset Building Brands event on 6th June.

Are you a Grandparent or relation looking after a child under 12 while the parent / main carer is working?
Did you know you could be entitled to receive National Insurance Credits (towards your State Pension) if the parent / main carer receives Child Benefit for the child (as long as the parent / main carer does not qualify for National Insurance credits themself?)

Take a look at this useful article from The Payroll Centre:
https://shorturl.at/gGssx 🙂

Specified adult childcare credits You may be entitled to receive NI credits if you are a grandparent or other family member looking after a child under 12, whilst the main carer or parent is working, as these credits have been available since April 2011. If you qualify, you must make an application to receive the NI credits.

I had a lovely morning with fellow Taunton Chamber of Commerce members this morning at The Great Western Hotel. We even got to "take it outside" and sit in the sunshine which was beautiful! ☀️

Thank you Sheila (Swan Business Centre) for the picture of me and Bethan (All About You). 🙂

It's Deaf Awareness week so I have a little story for you about my own hearing loss journey.
Happy to answer any questions. 🙂

Roll on Friday! 🤣

I had a great time at the Walpole Dunn Chartered Certified Accountants charity quiz night at Creative Innovation Centre CIC last night raising funds for the brilliant local charity PROMISEworks.
Somehow my amazing team mates and I came joint 4th - it was a great team effort! ❤️

Must also thank Dough Bros. who provided some amazing treats during the interval!

Happy New Tax Year!
I wonder what this one will bring?

Mr. Zest (aka ) and I had a great day at today with his first ever stall.
It was so good to see so many people out enjoying the sunshine!
A big THANK YOU to everyone who came down and said "hello". 😀

Taunton Independent Market is looking wonderful in the sunshine today at Castle Green!
Owen Meredith Sculpture and I are looking forward to seeing some familiar faces - come on down! 🌞

I am really looking forward to assisting Mr. Zest (aka Owen Meredith Sculpture) at the first big Saturday Taunton Independent Market this Saturday, 30th March.
Come down and say "hi" if you are in town. 😃

Early start for me today - off to Exeter for the The Payroll Centre's Payroll Update.
Looking forward to a day out of the office! 🍊

Happy International Women's Day!

I was celebrating at the annual Taunton Chamber of Commerce's IWD event at Queen's College, Taunton this morning.

Fabulous company and inspiring talks from Fi from Reminiscence Learning, The Women's Work Lab (well worth checking out!) and the one and only Trish Caller (aka Genius Events) who had her The West Country Women Awards hat (or rather sash!) on today.

There were no real big surprises in terms of payroll changes from the Spring Budget today.
(I'm always holding out for some big exciting announcement at the end! 🤣)

I've given the new website home page a little spring freshen up (with the patient help of Ritchie at Connectable!)

⚠️ REMINDER ⚠️
If you are on the wrong tax code and can request that HMRC issue the correct one to your Employer (via a "P6 notice") before your March payroll is run, you have a good chance of receiving any tax refund due with your March pay. 🙂

'I was on the wrong tax code - just claimed £9,400 back with one phone call.'

Check if your tax code is correct using our calculator - you could be due £1,000s back!
