The Role of Accountants in Helping Businesses to Fight the COVID Crisis

The COVID 19 driven pandemic has shaken the economic structure of states all over the world from very within. And the ordeal is still not over. As England reels under the fresh bout of the British strain of the coronavirus, the Government has slapped fresh lockdown, with the next announcement expected around 22nd February 2021. 

In the wake of this ongoing turmoil, almost 8 out of 10 small as well as medium-sized businesses have responded with certain special measures amid this pandemic and have kept themselves afloat. The credit for this goes to not only the UK Government but to the businesses accountants in Wokingham and elsewhere near London working on the behalf of these companies. 

Measures that are offered to these businesses since the start of the first lockdown last year include a lot, including furlough schemes, a wide range of business loan schemes backed by the government, relief in business rate for the hospitality sector, deferred VAT and tax payment options and the likes. And professional accountants, working in these have helped their employers to make the most of these government-backed measures.  

Does more significant involvement lead to increased support source?

Indeed, these professional accountants in Grazeley and elsewhere in and around London have helped their employers to not only stay afloat but perform modestly, in this otherwise economically volatile situation. Certain data will advocate for the significant role that the accountants have played and are playing, to help businesses fight the situation and perform well.  

Of the businesses that have employed professional accountants to deal with their accounts, only 40% say that they have not availed of these above-mentioned facilities. And of the businesses that have an accountant, only 12% says they have not availed those facilities. Again, only 6% of those accountants in Woodley and other London suburbs say they did not help their employer in availing these measures.

Thus, it is quite evident from these findings that the accountants in Woosehill and other London suburbs had played a pivotal role in helping their employers secure some type of assistance schemes from the government during the pandemic, and are continuing doing so!
