Arnold Ayton is qualified as a Chartered Accountant under the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA), although I currently hold a practicing license under the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA). I understand Arnie is a very busy accountant and has a lot on his plate. As a result, he can sometimes take a little bit of time to respond during busy periods. However, he has always been prompt with urgent matters and we have not overrun any deadlines whilst we have had him as an accountant. For the non-important requests we make, perhaps an automated/stock reply saying that he’s seen our message and is getting around to the topic would be appreciated rather than feeling obliged to answer with a fully formed response.

Spondoo bookkeeping advices 2021: Can you claim food as a business expense? HMRC allows businesses to claim meals as an expense for employees not in their typical working routine. The most common example of this, would be if the company’s employees were away on an overnight business trip. If a business is claiming the cost of travel as an expense, such as a hotel, the company will be allowed to claim the meals during that trip too. Food is an allowable expense on these trips because it is classified as ‘subsistence’, which essentially means employees need the food as basic self-maintenance and care during their work obligation.
