RSS feedsThis month, Best Practice - Accountancy Age's monthly supplement for smaller practices and their clients - meets MGR's head of tax, Chris McGowan.
Although MGR is a big hit with celebrities, McGowan refuses to be typecast. He explains why an average day at MGR is not all about bling, dressing down and hob-knobbing with stars. Emma Thompson, one of the firm's clients from the entertainment world, extols the friendliness and idiosyncratically, the cleanliness of members of the team.
Elsewhere, we look at how drastic cuts now could lead to disengaged employees later; how to make your clients prove all of their environmentally friendly credentials, what is the main line of defense against hackers; and how to protect your relationships with your clients.
And in our advice section, we take on Clarkes Catering, Mark Clark’s catering business and much, much more.
Enjoy the October issue - and our website.
