Special guest Grace Hardy, founder of Hardy Accounting and upcoming speaker of the Festival of Accounting & Bookkeeping (FAB) joins the podcast to share her journey in starting and scaling her business. She speaks about finding her voice, overcoming challenges and using social media to grow her brand. 

As part of the next generation of accountants, Hardy offers perspective on whether the profession meets young people’s needs, what firms need to do differently and how apprenticeships shaped her career.

Richard Hattersley continues on the topic of apprenticeships amid National Apprenticeship Week and concerns over Level 7 funding. He discusses the benefits, the impact of potential funding cuts and what firms should do to prepare. 

Matthew Ord closes the podcast with some recent M&A activity with Blick Rothenberg having recently agreed to buy Greenback Alan. He explores the deal, why the firm is looking to expand and how to make sure that everyone in the business feels at ease.
