RSS feedsThis month, Best Practice - Accountancy Age's monthly supplement for smaller practices and their clients - meets Pink Accounting FD, Sue McAuley.
The name of her firm may buck the trend but its professional attitude and diplomatic approach is really paying off. Pink Accounting's flexible style is well suited to smaller companies; and consultancy firm, ORS Oxford, is the classic small business that can benefit from their accounting and tax expertise - being too small to warrant internal accounting personnel.
Elsewhere, we look at how to stay calm under pressure when stress levels run high; how to find your IT match; why using natural light in your office can benefit more than your green credentials; and we give you tips on how to project a strong image of you – and your firm.
And in our advice section, we take on the Micklewright brothers' roofing business, Nightingale Roofing, and much, much more.
Enjoy the October issue - and our website.
