    DrewG's Market Update (undersold myself edition)

    Massive amounts of projections there. Just because you can't imagine those rates doesn't mean they don't exist.

    My kid is a brilliant bookkeeper!

    I will after he pulls back his stupid comments about my bad parenting based on things he knows nothing about. You're holding me over the coals for not really knowing how many billable hours he's done but not him for assuming all I do is throw money at my kids instead of being a good Dad. His...

    I'm sure this one will make me some friends :violin: Something for you lot to aspire to in this bear market though.

    My kid is a brilliant bookkeeper!

    High achieving kids might be an alien concept to you, not the same for everyone though. 1,2,3. (a very well-paid few hours per week). 4. Most of the pre-med kids do this "Your first post in this thread." - I never said I was throwing money at him instead of being a good Dad. You're assuming...

    State of the Market

    Questionable ethics taking a perm role knowing you'll bail at the first good contract offer. And you have the nerve to question my ethics? It's all good until it affects you isn't it?

    My kid is a brilliant bookkeeper!

    Where am I throwing money at my kids instead of bringing them up? Where are you getting this information from? I don't think 'yoof of today' refers to straight A* kids from independent schools that are training to be doctors. You think I'm at the forefront of terrible parenting that's removing...

    Changing skillset before market tanks.

    Those 3 pages have kept me off the bench during the worse bear contractor market in years.

    They will send an email to my support address asking me/my team to produce access logs which will show my companies support email address accessing the system. This is the same data we extract when the clients are having an external audit.

    Are HMRC going to use their powers to review bank statements from his account? Can HMRC have any say in where the money in his account is spent?

    My kid is a brilliant bookkeeper!

    The deal is that he'll get a bonus payment at the end of 6th form (to celebrate two years of employment!) and that's his money to keep, this will be whatever his personal allowance is for the following year (so he's looking at 12k in cash). I also offered to pay for his entire living costs when...

    My kid is a brilliant bookkeeper!

    Some people would give their left arm to be able to pay to be in this school. His other option is the local comp that has never put anyone onto a medicine degree (unless you count A&E visits after fights). Plus, there'll be a surplus in the account once he leaves 6th form; school fees end after...

    My kid is a brilliant bookkeeper!

    A 2 man LTD that uses a further 2 offshore contractors. He also does basic import/export data into my client's ERP systems. A very talented bookkeeper indeed. I'm basically looking for where HMRC might decide this isn't a good use of my kids tax free allowance,
