In Brief: CCF Accountancy; Blue Logic; Buccleuch Property
WITH Budget Day looming on March 18, a Harrogate accountancy practice is inviting local businesses to join them for a free breakfast when the key announcements and their implications will be explained.
CCF Accountancy, based on Victoria Avenue, will host the event the next morning, on March 19 from 8am – 10am at Pannal Golf Club.
Founder and managing director Teresa Bowe says all business owners and directors are welcome to attend to learn more about what the 2015 Budget will mean for them.
“The Budget is a major event for businesses of all sizes. There are often changes that it’s important to understand, but which aren’t discussed as widely as the usual headline-grabbers such as tax changes or fuel duty,” she explained.
“At our Budget Breakfast we’ll discuss the main points and explain in clear, jargon-free language how they will affect local businesses and what they can or should do to ensure they receive the best benefit from them.”
For more details or to reserve a place, call 01423 567499 or email events@ccfaccountancy.co.uk.
