On our first episode of 2023, Richard and Tom are joined by first-time guest Mitch Hahn, CEO of Nordens Accounting, as they look to make sense of what is already looking to be an interesting year for the profession.

With the christmas decorations packed firmly back up in the attic, accountants are back from their break with the knowledge that 5.7m taxpayers are still to carry out their self-assessment duties, and you know what that means - Busy Season.

As the 31st draws ever closer, our panel discuss how this tax year has differed from previous tax battles, and consider what tactics can be employed to keep the pulling out of hair to minimum.

Also on this week's podcast, the team get a chance to analyse the MTD delay now that the dust has settled, as well as chatting about the ever-growing debate of artificial intelligence's role in accounting.
