The 17th National Apprenticeship Week runs between 5 – 11th February, 2024. It’s a week-long celebration when businesses and apprentices shine a light on the positive impact that apprenticeships make to individuals, businesses and the wider economy. This year’s theme is #SkillsForLife – and when we review our own apprenticeship experience, we can see the newly acquired skills in action and the difference that they are making.
Having celebrated our 100th birthday a few years ago, today marks another anniversary for HB Accountants. 41 years in the wonderful Hertfordshire town of Hoddesdon. HB started out in 1921 in the City. Fast forward to 1982 and with rising rent and rates, it was more economically viable to migrate to the suberbs of Hertfordshire, plus lots of the team lived north of the Thames -Amwell House became home 41 years ago on 21 December 1982.
Understanding whether a business is profitable or not is fundamental to the success of the business.

This is why regularly creatin and understanding your Profit and Loss (P&L) is so important.
Whether you’re just considering a new business idea or already transact as a sole trader, you may wonder if incorporating your business – that is becoming a Limited Company – is right for you. In order to know the answer, you need to research the differences between the two structures, and we highly recommend speaking to your accountant, as there will be tax implications.

HB Accountants are proud to introduce you to our newest member of Team HB, meet Cameron. Cameron decided that learning whilst gaining valuable experience and making connections along the way, was the path he wanted to take following on from his A Levels. He spotted our apprenticeship on the Government Website and after a successful interview, he officially joined our team, and his first week was nothing short of amazing (our words not his)
There is a new digital platform available now on GOV.UK that is revolutionising the way businesses can search for and apply for government grants.
