The new Workers' Rights Policy on Harassment
The recent changes to the UK’s Workers’ Rights Policy on harassment aim to create safer, more respectful workplaces—but they also come with financial considerations that businesses need to address. From proactive duty obligations to third-party protections, these changes could mean new investments in training, policy updates, and reporting channels.
At Clarity Accounting, we understand that these changes aren’t just about compliance—they’re about protecting your business and your people, while managing costs effectively.

From Struggles to Success
From a baby and toddler Niamh was ahead of her milestones (apart from walking but that was more because she loved being carried everywhere), Donald and I used to marvel at how bright and observant she was, how interested she was in everything, and the way she would light up a room- we never imagined she would ever struggle.

What is a Year?
365 days (366 in a leap year), 52.143 weeks (according to HMRC), 12 Month Ends, 4 Quarter Ends, and incalculable opportunities.
This week we are celebrating one year of Clarity. And what a year it has been. But like anything good and worthwhile, this milestone, this celebration of our first year, is only the tip of the iceberg.

It wasn't always this slick!
One of the things I’m known for in work is being organised and efficient, and whilst this is true (without blowing my own trumpet), I’d love to say it was something that comes easily to me -but the opposite is true.
Left to my own devices I would procrastinate until the cows came home or get myself in a tizzy not knowing what to do first , but a conversation with a senior manager very early in my career changed this.
He took me aside for what I thought was going to be a positive conversation, and why shouldn’t it be -I’d smashed all of my targets, my team was over-performing, and our client feedback was in the top percentile.
How wrong could I be?

What’s in a Name? Why We Chose Clarity
Behind the scenes, we’ve been working hard to start a new business and bring Clarity to life. Yet, one of the toughest decisions we’ve had to make along the way? Choosing our name!
A name, after all, is a huge reflection of a business’s identity and ethos. That’s why we wanted something that neatly summed up what we’re about, whilst also fitting with the core values we’ve committed to build our firm around.
It’s no big secret that we landed on ‘Clarity’. Yet, how did we get there? In this post, we’ll let you in on how we found a name to represent the true spirit of our fresh business venture.

Don't Get Hooked In: Anti-Phishing Awareness
With cybercriminals constantly refining their tactics to trick unsuspecting victims, phishing attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and more difficult to spot. Just one wrong click can get even the savviest internet users caught up in a scam.
As a business owner, the consequences of a successful phishing attack can be particularly devastating. As well as financial losses, it can also lead to reputational damage and legal implications if clients’ information is compromised.

Value Added Tax
AH, VAT. Who would have thought that three little letters could be so misunderstood? People often fear Value Added Tax - and the relevant rules and regulations that come along with it. Yet, the truth is, VAT doesn’t need to be complicated - and it can actually be beneficial for your business!
So, in this post, let’s walk through how VAT works, whether it makes sense to become VAT-registered voluntarily, and whether cash or accrual is the best system for you.
