Audit Assistant

Experience

I’m currently taking the first steps in my accounting career, having recently joined the business after starting by independently studying AAT, and am very much excited to continue this journey with Dafferns.

Hobbies and interests

I spend most of my free time with my family and friends. I also enjoy playing and listening to wide range of music, playing video games, and watching movies.

Last night, Karen Keeling and Sophie Essex-Masmoudi attended the launch event for the @cwchamber of Commerce Business and Community Awards 2026 at the @belgradetheatre

It was lovely to see familiar faces and have the chance to catch up as well as meeting new people from across our region.

Thank you to all involved for a great launch event, we look forward to what’s to come!

We work with many charity clients, and one simple yet impactful step they can take is to provide trustees with charity-issued email addresses.

It’s more than admin - it strengthens governance, data protection, and public trust by ensuring secure, accountable, and professional communication.

Yesterday, three of our team members Harrison Stern, David Halkett and James Smithyman laced up their trainers and took on the Balsall Common Fun Run, completing both the 5K and 10K events.

Meanwhile, Lucy Hatton and Sophie Essex-Masmoudi were busy behind the scenes, volunteering to help make the day run smoothly. Brian Jukes even came along to cheer us on and support this brilliant event.

We’re always looking out for ways to help our clients stay ahead of HMRC’s evolving expectations.

One area that’s come under increased scrutiny is private use (PU) adjustments – a common feature in small business tax returns, but one that’s often misunderstood or misapplied.

In our latest blog, Karen Keeling explains what you need to know, why it matters and what you can do to protect your business, avoid unnecessary HMRC enquiries and ensure your tax returns reflect reality.

If you’d like help reviewing your PU adjustments or want to discuss how this might affect your next tax return, get in touch with our team.
