How to close the confidence gap: Better support for small businesses

In conversation with Tara Askham, Grace Hardy, and Stuart Miller
36% of UK small businesses don’t know if they were profitable last month, 51% struggle with cash flow, while 35% of 18–34 year olds say they lack the financial skills to manage their business. This session explores how accountants can close the confidence gap through clearer communication and better financial conversations. Attendees will leave with practical ideas to strengthen advisory capability, embed financial confidence across their organisation, and create meaningful impact for the small businesses they support.
