“Counting the human cost of Covid — and of leaving small business owners behind” was the headline for the article on 23rd July, an opinion piece by Helen Brand, Chief Executive Officer of ACCA, who are backing the industry-wide campaign across the accountancy profession to #LeaveNoBusinessBehind
Referencing the mental health concerns accountants have for some of their business owner clients, the mounting level of debts and poorer trading conditions and the gaps in support, particularly for micro-businesses, so clearly demonstrated by those in the #ForgottenLtd campaign, the article explained that the #LeaveNoBusinessBehind campaign, is providing bitesize training videos and written resources for accountants to use to help businesses understand why it’s important to plan and reforecast financially.
Over 400 accountants have registered to join the campaign within its first two weeks.
