Well, folks… where do we even start?

The current economic outlook is, in short, pretty grim. Growth is flatlining, inflation is creeping back up (just in time for your energy bill to go sky-high again), and businesses across the country are pressing pause on investment. Honestly, you can’t blame them.

We’re all just trying to get through it – clients, small business owners, the bloke running your local café. And yet, somehow, HMRC and the government still seem to think now is a great time to squeeze everyone a little harder. Deep breaths…

Poor HR practices don’t just damage company culture, they can result in serious financial consequences. Whether it’s payroll errors, misclassified contractors, or improper onboarding, many businesses underestimate just how tightly HR and finance are intertwined. And when communication between these functions breaks down, the cost can be substantial.
