Guidance for our clients – Coronavirus (COVID-19) – Update #1

In these uncertain times, we wanted to reach out to all our clients to let you know that we are here to offer support and guidance over the next few months.

We will strive to complete your accounts, VAT, payroll and Tax Returns in a timely manner.  Please bear in mind, that if you provide us with manual records, this may prove difficult in the event of a lock down situation. Please scan and email documents where possible and if you are in a position to provide your records now, then please do so.

If you and your people are working remotely and/or struggling to keep your records straight, then please let us know.

We are also, stepping up our support by offering our clients a cash flow or budgeting review.  To book this, please call the office on 01344 776225 or email rebecca.austin@pkb.co.uk. 

Health and wellbeing are the most important things right now.  Thankfully all staff at PKB are currently healthy and working their usual patterns.  If the need arises, then we have a fully thought-through plan to roll out homeworking, during periods of self-isolation.

We will continue to follow government advice and will provide updates from time to time to ensure that our clients are kept fully informed.

If you need anything, please let us know.  In the meantime, here is a quick action plan to assist you:

1. Keep your eye on Government advice:  https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/coronavirus-covid-19-uk-government-response
