Latest industry insights shared at TaxAssist Accountants Technical Update Days
TaxAssist Accountants has recently concluded a series of Technical Update Days in partnership with 2020 Innovation, bringing together franchisees from across the UK to explore the latest developments shaping the accountancy profession.
The events which were held in Leeds, Leicester, London, Bristol and Edinburgh are designed to provide practical, up-to-date guidance on technical and regulatory changes, including evolving requirements from HM Revenue and Customs, alongside broader shifts in compliance, reporting standards and the increasing role of technology in practice management.
The sessions form part of TaxAssist Accountants’ ongoing commitment to professional development within its network, offering franchisees access to expert-led training, peer collaboration, and real-time discussion of emerging challenges and opportunities in the sector.
Samantha Skyring, Head of Network Development at TaxAssist Accountants, commented: “It’s been fantastic to welcome so many of our accountants to the Technical Update Days. These sessions are designed to be practical, relevant and immediately useful - giving our network the tools and confidence to respond to ongoing regulatory and technological developments and stay ahead of change in our profession.
“What really stands out is the appetite for learning and collaboration across the network. Whether it’s HMRC updates, AI in practice, or leadership development, our franchisees are clearly focused on continuous improvement for the benefit of their clients.”
Feedback from franchisees reinforced the value of shared learning across the TaxAssist network.
Shayo Badejo said, “one of the most valuable parts was not just the technical knowledge, it was learning together, sitting in the same room, discussing real client situations, sharing thoughts between sessions, asking questions, challenging each other and making sure we fully understand what is changing and how it impacts the people we support every day. Kudos to the franchise, Samantha and her team that continues to invest heavily in its members through training, technical support and development opportunities like these.”
More positive feedback was received from Bukky Shonola. "Another opportunity to stay current in the ever-evolving world of tax. It’s always valuable spending time with the team, learning together, sharing insights and reconnecting with fellow franchisees. Days like these are a reminder of the strength of our network and the shared values we stand for. Grateful to be part of a community that continues to grow, support one another, and serve local businesses with pride and purpose.”
While Sabrina Rehman added, “The Technical Update Day focused on the latest HMRC changes and how they impact our accounting processes ensuring everything stays compliant and smooth for our clients. Thanks to everyone who joined the discussions and made it an inspiring day.”
