Contractor trends in 2020: What can we learn for 2021?

• Webinar
• 12:30PM - 1:30PM, 10 Dec 2020

Traditionally as we near the end of a year, it is a time for reflection and planning for the next one. This year feels more pertinent than ever to take stock from 2020 and look ahead to 2021.

In this webinar, James Foster and Joanne Harris from SJD Accountancy will share the results of SJD’s 2020 Contractor Survey. Over 2,000 independent professionals provided insights on a wide range of topics and from this, discuss and summarise the key learnings and the current contracting landscape and what lessons can be learned before we head into 2021.

The key topics will include:

• The impact of Coronavirus and the resulting government support
• The upcoming IR35 reforms
• The resilience of the contracting community
• Contractor finances including financial products
• The overall market and contracting satisfaction

There will be time at the end for questions too. You can email any questions you have in advance to [email protected] with the subject ‘Questions for the Contracting webinar in 2020’.
