STEP Suffolk and North Essex
Suffolk and North Essex branch welcomes members ranging from private client lawyers and accountants to financial advisors.Our members include those experienced enough to have been among the founding members of STEP to student members currently facing the challenge of the challenging examinations. Whatever the level of expertise, the professional standards and expectations are consistently high.
The branch is run by a willing committee that aims to provide good value continuing professional development (‘CPD’) as well as a chance for members to meet in order to share ideas and exchange views.
Our meetings are held at the Marriage Hall in Ipswich by kind permission of Gotelees, solicitors. This central location is readily accessible to all members.
We host five meetings each year, open to members, their guests and non members. We ensure that we have a high calibre and variety of speakers, covering a wide range of topics that will be of interest to all our members. Topics covered recently include capital taxes, developments in probate, advising elderly clients and issues surrounding the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
The meetings each carry 3 CPD points and are excellent value at £50 for members and £75 for guests and non-members. The meetings also offer fantastic networking opportunities both before, during the tea break and afterwards to discuss matters of concern with like minded professionals.
We have links with CIOT and EAPF (East Anglia Professional Forum) where a small group of us from a range of organisations meet informally to discuss issues affecting our area of practice. On occasion we run joint events with CIOT.
We are a thriving friendly branch of STEP striving to maintain the high standards set by STEP for CPD as well as engendering good working relations with our fellow professionals in the area.
