About this webinar:

As accountants brace for yet another taxing busy season, the pressures of increased compliance, rapid digital transformation, and an industry-wide talent shortage continue to mount. Regulatory changes like Making Tax Digital (MTD) and the Economic Crime Bill have added complexity to everyday processes, pushing firms to constantly adapt while still delivering high-quality services. For smaller firms and SMEs, the challenges are even greater, with limited resources and ongoing concerns about cybersecurity, training, and staff burnout. How can firms strike the right balance between meeting new regulatory demands and staying competitive in an increasingly digital world?

The move toward digital solutions, from cloud-based platforms to AI, offers the promise of greater efficiency. However, these tools are not a cure-all, and the question remains: How can firms leverage technology effectively while ensuring human expertise continues to play a vital role in compliance and advisory services? How do we overcome staffing shortages, streamline tax processes, and manage workloads without compromising service quality?

Join our online event, on November 20 at 2pm as a panel of experts from IRIS Software Group, Mazuma Accountants, HMRC, and Companies House come together for an insightful discussion on how to turn the challenges of busy season into opportunities for growth. This engaging session will explore practical solutions for the modern accounting landscape, followed by an interactive Q&A where you can ask the experts your most pressing questions.

What will you learn in our wickedly good webinar?

  • Understand how Making Tax Digital and the Economic Crime Bill are reshaping UK accountancy and what it means for your firm.
  • Learn actionable strategies to overcome staffing shortages and manage workloads during the busiest times.
  • Discover how to harness automation tools and digital platforms to increase efficiency while maintaining compliance.
  • Gain insights from industry leaders on balancing technology with human expertise to enhance service offerings.
  • Explore how you can turn the busy season stress into a strategic advantage for your firm.

About this webinar:

In today’s rapidly changing workplace landscape, organisations are facing critical challenges — from remote work dynamics and talent shortages, to rising employee expectations and the urgent need for more inclusive, dynamic teams.  

Amidst these challenges lies a fundamental opportunity: adopting equitable hiring practices helps build more innovative, resilient and successful teams — which leads to better business outcomes. 

The stakes are high. According to CIPD, the average cost of filling a vacancy in the UK stands at £6,125, soaring to £19,000 for managerial roles. Recruitment is no longer just about filling vacancies quickly and efficiently; it’s about making a strategic investment in your workforce that fosters diversity, inclusion and long-term success.  

On Wednesday 27th November, 2.00pm to 2.45pm, join Dianne Hoodless (Head of Group payroll for TFG Brands London), Mervyn Dinnen (HR Analyst at Talent Watch) and Dania Lyons (Senior Talent Acquisition Manager at IRIS Software Group), for a powerful discussion and Q&A on why equitable hiring is much more than a moral imperative, but a strategic advantage that builds stronger, more innovative and higher performing teams. 

Sign up now to uncover: 

  • Smart recruitment strategies: How to reduce recruitment costs and accelerate hiring timelines without compromising on quality.
  • Fostering pay equity: Learn how fair recruitment practices lay the foundation for long-term pay equity, promoting well-being and fairness across your organisation.
  • Diversity-driven success: Hear from experts on proven strategies to attract diverse talent, close pay gaps and drive greater organisational success.
  • Data and AI-driven hiring: Gain insights by leveraging data analytics and AI tools to support equitable hiring practices, turning workforce challenges like talent shortages into opportunities for innovation and growth.
