Since becoming partner, the past few months have been a whirlwind although life has always been busy! Balancing my role as an accountant, wife, mother of two rapidly growing kids, daughter, auntie, taxi driver, after school club organiser and the list goes on… keeps things rather lively.   It’s no secret that I love my holidays, so as of today, I’m officially out of the office, soaking up some much needed sunshine and enjoying quality time with my family.   See you after half term! The Dafferns Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers team has everything covered in my absence. #outofoffice #holiday #rest #familytime #accountant

The Fed cut interest rates in September which, despite the Bank of England holding at 5%, is now expected to be the direction of travel for much of the developed world as it returns to some form of financial normality into 2025. China’s financial stimulus was another big story in September, as it was their biggest intervention since Covid, and markets responded favourably, especially in Asia. There will be no end to speculation about what the 30 October budget holds between now and it’s unveiling, with CGT and pensions drawing much of the attention. Needless to say we will be on hand to provide comment as soon as we know the detail. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/enWM6Msq #EconomyUpdate #GlobalEconomy #FinancialNews #InterestRates

The Dafferns team has returned from the AGN International EMEA regional meeting in Rome! The event officially began with a welcome dinner on Thursday evening, bringing together over 130 professionals from across the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. It was lovely to reconnect with colleagues and build new connections with a diverse mix of team members from numerous member firms. Friday and Saturday were packed with enriching technical sessions, team-building treasure hunts around the eternal City, and a stunning gala dinner under the Roman sky. We covered a range of forward-looking topics such as ESG, AI, building the firm of the future, capital raising options like private equity, resilience, and much more - all under the inspiring theme of "Standing the test of time." In addition to the conference, Martin and Sophie attended board and committee meetings, taking full advantage of the opportunity to connect in person. David and Emily also completed the Next Leaders Programme before the conference kicked off, underscoring our commitment to future leadership. Take a look at some of our photos: https://lnkd.in/e8wfeNVz A huge thank you to the AGN team, the speakers, and all the members who contributed to making this event a success! We return with new insights, ideas, and inspiration to further our sustainable and digital journey and to continue future-proofing our firm for our clients, team members, and the next generation.
