End of Month Practice Update

Well, it's the end of another month and the end of yet another financial year.

New-look Website
Visitors to our Home Page will notice an updated look and feel to the site. This is stage one of our long-term vision of developing an ultimate informational resource for clients and the public alike.

Plans over the next month include adding additional content and downloadable resources.

Business Planning
It would seem a lot of queries lately involve the nitty-gritty questions and confusion surrounding the start-up of a new business venture. I cannot stress enough the importance of proper planning and structure at this stage. Alan is always happy to meet with you and go over your business ideas to help you start out well informed and on the right foot.

This month, Alan is focused on adding content relevant to business planning and I'll be continuing to include MYOB tips and tutorials.

Client Promotion
We are always seeking ways to further support our clients. We hope to extend this service by offering 'client profiles' in the blog posts and bi-monthly newsletters. Additionally, I would love to help some of our business clients without a web presence to get their name online. I'm working on a plan to see this happen shortly.

Appointment Times
Alan is available after hours this tax season for face-to-face interviews. Appointments can be made to see Alan:

• Monday to Friday from 7:00 pm


• Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 am till late.

To make an appointment you can contact our office at any time on 02 43 904156. Evenings are already filling up so be sure to secure a preferred time as soon as you're ready.

Some people prefer to just drop off their stuff, have us collect it or mail it in. This is fine too although Alan will still need to contact you by phone to discuss your return before completion.

As always, your feedback and suggestions are more than welcome. Tell us, how can we serve you better?

End of Month Practice Update

It's the end of the month and seems an appropriate time to initiate a regular 'practice update' post.

Alan and I have concentrate our planning this month on further utilising the internet and developing a web presence which will serve as a useful resource for clients.

- To improve the appearance and functionaility of our site, we have retained a professional web designer. We are looking forward to a revamped website coming soon!

- A syndicated partnership has been formed with business.gov.au. Our site will eventually operate as a 'library' of important government information, calculators, forms and business resources. We hope this will assist clients to locate everything they could ever need in the one place.

- Two blogs have been established (this one and Dollars & Sense for Small Business). Plans for advancing both blogs include working through basics and heading into lessons and valuable articles.

- In addition to other services, Alan now operates as an ASIC registered agent. This allows him to act as intermediary for clients dealing with ASIC and the ability to lodge their documents electronically.

I'm excited about the developments this month and can hardly wait until they are fully intergrated. Your feedback is always welcome - in fact, we encourage it - so if you have any comments, criticisms or suggestions, please do let us hear them. How can we serve you better?
