What’s an Insolvency Practitioner?

Someone who arrives after the battle and bayonets all the wounded.

If you really want to make money in the recession, become an Insolvency Practitioner. I knew one once who so upset a workforce that they came to get him. He had to barricade himself in a room and call the police to get him out.

There are three types of accountant in the world.

Those who can count and those who can’t

We’re one of those – not quite sure which – probably the fourth.  Contact us if you want to find out.

Simpler Tax?

There’s a new proposal to simplify the tax system with a much easier form so that taxpayers won’t need an accountant. The new form has only three lines:

1. How much did you earn last year?

2. How much do you have left?

3. Add 20% to the figure in 2.

Send the amount in 3 to us.

Just in case you have any doubts – this is not true. Too many accountants would be out of a job and HMRC can’t afford to lose the tax they pay.

Little chuckle!

When does a person decide to become an accountant?

When he realises that he doesn’t have the charisma to be an undertaker.

But not all of us!
