Don’t let self assessment season derail your 2025 plans

For accountants and bookkeepers, January can feel like a marathon – tax returns, deadlines, chasing paperwork and a flurry of client queries all competing for your attention. With so much pressure, it’s easy to focus solely on the immediate work at hand. But when you finally come up for air in February, you don’t want to find that big opportunities – like the Festival of Accounting & Bookkeeping (FAB) – have slipped by.

Plan ahead before busy season ends

Although January is hectic, now is a perfect time to lock in dates that can make 2025 your most successful year yet. FAB, happening on 12–13 March 2025 at the NEC in Birmingham, is a prime example. Even if you can’t devote much thought to it right now, a quick five-minute ticket booking and putting it in the calendar ensures you won’t miss it once the tax-return storm passes.

Why pencil FAB into your diary now?

1. Break up the post-January slump: Once self assessment season ends, you’ll need fresh energy – and FAB can be that spark. Hands-on demos, interactive workshops, and tailored sessions across our five stages will get you re-inspired.

1. Secure free tickets while it’s top of mind: Reserving your free spot now means one less thing to handle later, and ensures you don’t miss out on any pre-event news.

1. Reward yourself and your team: After the self assessment grind, attending FAB is a chance to learn new skills, discover tech solutions, and make valuable connections that can directly impact your firm’s success.

A swift action now = a smoother transition later

Set a quick reminder in your diary – five minutes is all it takes. When the self assessment rush finally subsides, you’ll be grateful you’ve already got your plans sorted for FAB. No last-minute scrambling, no fear of missing out – just a seamless transition from compliance heavy-lifting to business-building inspiration.
