    PM+M announces nine promotions across the firm

    PM+M, the chartered accountancy, business advisory and financial planning group, has promoted nine colleagues in its latest round of promotions, reflecting the firm’s continued investment in its people and future growth.

    In the Cloud team, Dylan Fraser-Kelly has been promoted to Manager; Anya Holden is now a Supervisor; and Sophie Sandiford steps into the role of Adviser. In the Accounts team, Dylan Brogden has been promoted to Junior Adviser; whilst Hugo Castle becomes a Supervisor.

    In Audit, Jack Groundwater and Harry Yates have both been promoted to Senior Adviser. Rebecca Cowell has been promoted to Senior Credit Controller in Finance; and Georgia Flatley moves into the role of Executive in the Marketing and Business Development team.

    Helen Clayton, managing at PM+M, said: “These promotions are thoroughly deserved and recognise strong technical ability, the significant impact that each person has on our clients and their teams, and the importance they each place on their own continual development. Our over-riding strategy is to remain an independently owned business at PM+M, and as such we are committed to supporting our people to grow by creating clear progression opportunities.  It’s fantastic to see so much talent growing from within.

    Helen added: “I’d like to congratulate everyone on their successes, and I am excited to see them continue to thrive in their new roles.”

    HMRC publish draft R&D guidance

    Earlier today, HMRC published draft guidance in relation to the changes coming into the Research & Development (R&D) scheme from 1 April 2023.

    The guidance covers various topics which have previously been flagged, such as the exclusion of overseas R&D work and an extension of the relief to include data and cloud computing costs.

    However, one key change detailed in the guidance is the requirement to submit a Claim Notification form within 6 months of the end of the relevant accounting period for any new claimants i.e. any companies who haven’t made an R&D claim for at least 3 years. If the form isn’t submitted within that deadline, you won’t be able to make the claim.

    The guidance also details a new Additional Information form containing substantial information about the claim (for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023), including details of a person at the company taking responsibility for the claim and the agents who helped to prepare the claim.

    The legislation will not be finalised until the Finance Bill 2023 and the final form of that legislation may differ from the draft published in July 2022, this means that the guidance issued could also change and no action should yet be taken based on it.

    You can view the full guidance here.
