Seminars and Conferences

We are a firm of tax consultants providing advice and support to accountants in general practice.

Training activities

Whilst BNB Tax Consultants is not a training organisation, it is accredited by the Law Society and the Institute of Legal Executives to provide external CPD sessions for its members.  Our sessions are led by the consultants who do the work.

We deliver seminars and conferences at our own events, for and with other firms of professional advisers, within district society meetings of professional bodies and at conferences organised by third parties. 

Fees and costs

We make no charge when delivering seminars to district societies, based on a normal 1 to 1.5 hour CPD session. 

We do make a charge for our own CPD seminars and conferences (mainly to cover the cost of the events) and also seek a fee when working with commercially organised events.

As a general rule, course material consists of copies of the relevant slides (we can provide samples) and an additional reading list (sources of information).  It is not our normal practice to produce and provide full narrative notes.
