What accountants see first

Accountants are often present at the moment wealth is created, not after the fact.

1. Spot wealth planning needs early

2. Identify trigger events before clients recognise them

3. Support better long term outcomes without crossing regulatory lines

Equities - March in review

March proved to be a difficult and unsettling month for global markets as rising geopolitical tensions, most notably the war in Iran, combined with a sudden repricing of interest rate expectations, drove a broad move away from risk across asset classes. Equity markets sold off heavily, with the S&P 500 falling 5.0% and the Nasdaq down 4.7%. European equities were hit harder, reflecting their greater sensitivity to energy price...

Credo makes its mark at FAB.UK

Last week, FAB.UK brought together thousands of finance, accounting and bookkeeping professionals for two days of insight, innovation and real conversations about the future of the profession. As a growth led event designed for decision makers, it’s one of the most valuable places for firms to explore new ideas and connect with partners who can help them scale smarter.

For Credo, it was a standout moment.

Across both days, the team engaged in thoughtful, high quality conversations with firms from all over the UK. Each one reinforcing the appetite for better ways to support clients and build stronger, more resilient businesses. The buzz around the stand made it clear just how much interest there is in what Credo brings to the industry.

From a brand perspective, FAB.UK was exceptional exposure. The stand, messaging and overall presence resonated strongly with attendees, giving us the opportunity not only to connect with new firms in the accounting space, but also to showcase Credo’s broader offering.

It was a brilliant experience from start to finish. A combination of meaningful conversations, strong team energy and a polished brand presence that stood out on a busy show floor.

The momentum from FAB.UK sets a powerful foundation for the future Credo is building in this space.

Choose the right model for wealth management advice

Jake Smith compares and explains in detail the different wealth models accounting practices can adopt. At Credo, we believe the dedicated partnership model is the most effective.

We’ve been building these partnerships for years and have consistently found that they lead to the most favourable outcomes for the client [of the accountant].

This collaborative approach gives accountants oversight of their clients’ wealth journey, requires no exclusivity when referring clients elsewhere, and keeps the Credo wealth manager accountable for the entire relationship.

Why junior ISA money still pours into cash?

Despite Junior ISAs being designed for an 18 year investment horizon, the majority of contributions continue to flow into cash rather than globally diversified investments.

In a recent article for AccountingWEB, Billy Pain explores:

1. Why cash feels safe but often fails to protect long term purchasing power

2. How time and compounding do most of the heavy lifting

3. Why globally diversified, evidence based investing aligns well with JISAs

4. The opportunity for accountants and advisers to reframe the conversation with families

When a product is built for long term growth, the default choice deserves a second look.

Fiery markets? Why planning beats predictions

Is the Year of the Fire Horse a sign of market volatility? Looking back to 1966 suggests it might have been. But the real lesson isn’t about predictions, it’s about preparation.

Simon Weatherup, Wealth Manager at Credo, explores what history tells us, why diversified portfolios matter, and how an investment “MOT” can keep clients aligned with their risk, objectives and long-term plans.

1. Short-term market moves are inevitable

2. Long-term outcomes are driven by structure and discipline

3. Planning should be built to withstand any year – fiery or not

A light-hearted theme with a serious message: confidence comes from a robust financial plan, not a forecast.

Should we rename the stocks and shares ISA?

In our latest contribution to AccountingWEB, Credo’s Billy Pain explores how the long standing naming of the Stocks and Shares ISA may be unintentionally discouraging UK savers from taking advantage of a broader range of investment options.

Despite being one of the most powerful tax efficient wrappers available, many savers still default to Cash ISAs often because “stocks and shares” suggests equity only, higher risk investing.

What is an Offshore Bond and when to consider them?

Ross D’Addio explores the role of offshore bonds as a tax-efficient investment wrapper, highlighting how they can provide flexibility for UK clients in managing tax liabilities, retirement planning, and estate strategies. Rather than being an investment themselves, offshore bonds act as a vehicle to hold assets such as funds or discretionary portfolios, with the key advantage of deferring tax until withdrawals or encashment.

Ross D’Addio outlines scenarios where offshore bonds may be suitable, such as for higher-rate taxpayers, those maximizing ISA and pension allowances, or families considering wealth transfer and cautions that they may be less appropriate for clients needing short-term access or with unused tax-efficient allowances. His article underscores the importance of professional guidance when considering offshore bonds as part of a diversified financial plan.

Three-Bucket Framework for business owners navigating succession

Succession planning is rarely just a technical exercise. For many business owners, it is deeply personal and often overwhelming. One way to bring structure and clarity to this complexity is the Three-Bucket Framework, drawing on principles popularised in The Aspirational Investor by Ashvin B. Chhabra.

The framework encourages business owners to think about their wealth across three distinct buckets:

1. The Bulletproof Bucket

2. The Compound & Grow Bucket

3. The Aspirational Bucket

When these buckets are intentionally balanced, business owners can protect what matters most, grow capital sustainably, and still pursue future ambitions with confidence.

Billy Pain explores how this framework can support better succession planning conversations in our latest AccountingWEB article.
