Tax & Accounting Training

Keep your team sharp on UK tax legislation

Keep your team sharp on the latest legislation, best practices, and compliance requirements.

Is your team keeping up?

UK tax legislation changes every year. Spring Budgets, Finance Acts, HMRC guidance updates — if your team isn't continuously learning, your practice is exposed to costly errors and compliance failures.

Legislation Changes Every Year

The Finance Act 2023 introduced the associated companies rules for Corporation Tax, replacing the single rate with a marginal relief band. April 2024 changed NIC thresholds and dividend allowances. April 2025 brought further capital gains and inheritance tax adjustments. If your team trained two years ago, they're already out of date.

Junior Staff Knowledge Gaps

New hires and trainees arrive with academic knowledge but limited practical understanding of UK tax compliance. They don't know how to prepare a CT600 properly, handle CIS deductions, or navigate HMRC's agent services. Without structured training, they learn bad habits from overwhelmed colleagues.

Costly Errors & Penalties

A missed quarterly CIS return incurs a £100 penalty per month. An incorrect VAT partial exemption calculation triggers assessments and interest. Filing SA100s after the deadline costs your clients £100 immediately, plus daily penalties after three months. These aren't abstract risks — they're real costs that hit your bottom line and your reputation.

Tax training programmes

How it works

We don't deliver generic CPD lectures. Every training programme is built around your practice's client base, your team's experience levels, and the specific tax areas you handle day-to-day.

1
Knowledge Audit

We assess your team's current understanding of key tax areas — identifying gaps, misconceptions, and the topics where your practice carries the most compliance risk. This audit shapes everything that follows.

2
Tailored Training

We deliver focused sessions on the specific legislation your team needs — using real scenarios from your client base, current HMRC guidance, and practical worked examples. Live, interactive, and pitched at the right level.

3
Reference & Support

Every participant receives detailed reference materials, legislation summaries, and worked examples they can use on live client work. Plus 30 days of follow-up support for technical questions that arise in practice.

Why practices choose Founders101

Our trainers are qualified accountants and former HMRC practitioners who understand UK tax legislation at a technical level — not generalists reading from slides.

UK Legislation Experts

Our trainers hold ATT and CTA qualifications and stay current with every Finance Act, Budget announcement, and HMRC guidance update. You're learning from people who live and breathe UK tax.

Real-World Scenarios

We don't teach from textbooks. Every session uses practical, worked examples drawn from real practice situations — the exact kind of scenarios your team encounters with clients every day.

CPD-Quality Content

Our training sessions are structured to meet CPD requirements for ACCA, ICAEW, AAT, and ATT members. Your team gets high-quality professional development without leaving the office.

Annual Update Sessions

Tax law changes every year. We offer annual update sessions after each Finance Act and Spring Budget so your team stays current without having to trawl through HMRC technical notes themselves.

“We brought Founders101 in to run Corporation Tax update training after the April 2023 associated companies changes. Honestly, even our senior managers learned things they didn't know — the marginal relief calculations, the interaction with close company rules, the impact on group structures. The training was practical, well-paced, and directly relevant to our client base. We've since booked them for CIS and payroll sessions, and the feedback from the team has been overwhelmingly positive. It's the best CPD investment we've made in years.”
