Askews Chartered Certified Accountants

The Askews team have hit some milestones in the office recently 🎉

Katie turns 30 today, and Ray celebrated his 70th birthday last week!

Happy Birthday guys! 🥳🎂✨

A busy June & July 🌞

Our summer was packed with more than just spreadsheets and tax returns! From completing a first aid course alongside Askews Legal LLP, to some brilliant events at Coventry Rugby Club - it’s been a great few months for the team!

Askews is all about building relationships, supporting each other and being part of our local business community. That’s why we are more than just accountants 👏

☀️ Can You Claim It? Heatwave Edition 😎

The hot weather has arrived and so have seasonal business expense questions!

Can your business claim for:
✅ Air conditioning?
✅ Portable fans?
✅ Cold drinks for employees?
✅ Designer sunglasses?!
✅ Working from home?

The answer? It depends ☀️

Some expenses may be allowable if they're provided for the business or your employees, while others are considered a personal expense and won't qualify for tax relief.

Take a look through our carousel to find out what's generally claimable and what HMRC is likely to say.

If you're ever unsure, please get in touch with us. We'd much rather answer a quick question now than sort out an issue later!

Staff Charity Fire Walk 🔥👣

3 members of our Askews Team, Katie, Cathy and Jason completed a firewalk at the end of May, all in aid of the Extra Care Charitable Trust. Well done guys!

Would you get cold feet!? 🥵

Time for a quick “this or that” 👇

Which one sounds most like you?

📂 Super organised and sending everything early
⏰ Or a last-minute 11:59pm send

📩 Opening HMRC emails straight away
🙈 Or leaving them for “later”…

🧾 Receipts neatly filed
🗄️ Or kept somewhere safe (aka a random drawer!)

No wrong answers… we’ve seen it all 😄

Let us know in the comments!

Every job has its essentials… and accountancy is no exception 😄

Here’s our take on the accountant starter kit:
🧮 Calculator
📞 HMRC on speed dial
💻 Work laptop
☕ Plenty of caffeine

Be honest - how accurate is this? 👀

Running a business comes with a lot to juggle - so it’s no surprise that a few tax basics can sometimes slip through the cracks.

Things like:
✔️ Missing deadlines
✔️ Mixing personal and business finances
✔️ Not keeping clear records
✔️ Forgetting to claim allowable expenses
✔️ Not setting money aside for tax bills

A quick check-in now can save a lot of stress later 👍
