Cedar + Co

Another busy week in the Cedar + Co. office and its always a great way to end the week when you get a testimonial like this one! We always work hard for our clients, but when they tell us we're doing a good job it means the world! Happy Friday everyone, hope you have a great weekend! 😃 🍻 🥂

Happy birthday to our Finance Manager, Kathryn. Kathryn is the tea lover in our office and never refuses a cuppa. We always know what time it is by Bertie dragging her out for walkies. And of course we all love Kathryn because she is the one that makes sure our pay goes in the bank on time 😉 Hope you have a fab birthday Kathryn, may your day be filled with tea and cake!! 🥳 🎂 🎉

Like it or not Making Tax Digital is happening. It started in 2019 for VAT and the next phase is starting in April 2026 for sole traders and landlords. Our blog explains a bit more about what you need to know and what your next steps should be. https://lnkd.in/ervrR_zj The key is to start early, plan, and make it work FOR you and not against you. (TL:DR... just talk to us!! 😜 ) #MTD #MakingTaxDigital #Selfassessment #soletraders #property #Derby #HMRC

We're really glad we became #bondholders with Marketing Derby! Today we were invited to go to the Derby City Lab for a new bondholders lunch. It was a great opportunity to meet other new bondholders and hear more about what Marketing Derby is doing. There are so many things happening and we are excited to be part of this fab city! Side note... if you haven't been to Derby City Lab we highly recommend popping in next time you are in Derbion!!

This year our charity of the year is Children First Derby. We are so excited to be partnering with such a great charity dedicated to supporting vulnerable children, young people and their families. Our first fundraiser is collecting easter eggs for them which will then be distributed to the children and young people they work with across Derby. We will be collecting the eggs up to the 20th March. If you would like to donate some easter eggs just drop them into the Cedar + Co. office Tuesday-Thursday between 8:30-4pm or drop us a message to make arrangements. Everyone deserves a chocolate egg at Easter!! 😋 #charityoftheyear #derby #easteregg #Childrenfirst

Busy day of networking for the Cedar + Co. team. Jenny went to the annual Marketing Derby pancake day race event Pentaxia Limited this morning. Congrats to the Pentaxia shop team for taking first place... it was a close one! 🥞 At lunchtime Neil King is off to Shrovetide. Will the uppers or downers win this year?!? Who cares... the sun is shining!! 🌞 #pancakeday #Shrovetide #networking #Derby

We are paperless in the Cedar + Co. office and have been for several years however books and records have to be kept for 6 years from the end of the last company financial year they relate to so we have been clearing out the cellar and it feels quite cathartic! The paper was all shredded onsite (quite a noisy process!) and we have a certificate of destruction. Are you completely paperless in your business? Do you have the systems in place to make sure your records are correct and up to date? If not talk to us! There are so many things we can do to help make sure your business is as efficient as possible! #paperless #shredpro #businessefficiency #techthursday

It's the last week of February! The first 2 months of the year have simply flown by... and presumably March will follow suit. And that is the exact reason why you need to be thinking about year end tax planning NOW! While it’s tempting to put it off until the last minute, getting ahead of the game can save you money, reduce stress, and keep HMRC off your back. Check out our latest blog about tax planning ideas to think about and get in contact if there is anything you would like to discuss... we've always got time for a coffee and chat! https://lnkd.in/dPwGynjX

It's a few days past "Random Act of Kindness Day" (17th Feb) but Neil decided to randomly treat the team... never underestimate the power of creme eggs and mini eggs to boost morale!!

💘 Roses are red, violets are blue, we love tax deductions—so should you! 💘 This Valentine’s Day, forget the flowers and chocolates. The real way to someone’s heart? A well-balanced ledger and a perfectly filed tax return (actually... I wouldn't recommend going home with that line rather than a bunch of flowers!) Show your accountant some love—they’re the ones keeping your finances faithful while you’re out wining and dining! 🍷💸 Always happy to chat about your business and finances and how we can help. Just drop us a DM or check out our website https://lnkd.in/dhqDwQUK #valentinesday #loveyouraccountant #businesssuccess
