Autumn Budget 2026: What accountants actually need to know

This session will unpack the Autumn Budget and focus on the changes that matter most to accountants, bookkeepers and the businesses they support — including what it means for workplace pensions and other pension opportunities that can improve financial wellbeing, alongside the wider announcements affecting SMEs.

Rather than running through every announcement, we’ll cut through the noise and look at what’s actually worth paying attention to, what it means in practice, and the conversations you may need to start having with clients as a result.

The discussion will bring together Stephen Paul, founder of Valued accountancy firm, and Penfold, the modern workplace pension provider, combining an accountant’s perspective with practical pensions expertise.

What we’ll cover

- The biggest Budget announcements affecting SMEs and their advisers and what they mean in practice

- What the Budget means for workplace pensions and other opportunities that can support financial wellbeing - Where accountants can add value beyond simply explaining the changes

- How to turn Budget announcements into useful, proactive conversations with clients

- Stephen’s perspective on the assumptions and misconceptions that can stop firms from reviewing the way they support clients
