Say hello to peers and Summit partners on the virtual platform

Welcome to demo day of the virtual Summit from ICB CEO.

Small businesses across the UK are feeling the squeeze - from rising National Insurance costs to shifting tax thresholds and ongoing inflation. According to Dext’s latest research, over half of UK small business owners say one more cost hike could push them to the brink, and 53% admit forward planning is now “virtually impossible.”

For bookkeepers, this growing uncertainty presents both a challenge and a powerful opportunity. As the professionals closest to their clients’ day-to-day finances, bookkeepers are uniquely positioned to bring calm, clarity, and confidence when it matters most.

In this panel discussion, industry experts and practice leaders will explore how bookkeepers can support clients through turbulent times - by combining smart processes, automation, and data-driven insights with trusted human guidance. You’ll hear practical examples, strategies, and success stories from firms helping their clients stay resilient and plan for growth, even in unpredictable conditions.
