How is it March already!

It is a scary thought that we have entered March; 3 months into the calendar and at the end of another financial year. 

What a three months we have had so far! While we’ve hit the ground running after a relaxing Christmas break (although a lack of summer days at times), we have had to dodge the rain, the wind and even the odd earthquake. We also watched the weather rolling in in anticipation for what’s coming, what we did miss was the forecast for a change in Prime Minister! While we and our families are all safe and well after the recent weather events, there are some unpleasant stories and our thoughts and wishes go out to all those that have been affected in some way. 

In addition to the mother nature challenges thrown our way, there are also continuing business related challenges holding us back, such as labour shortages, rising costs and increasing demands outside of compliance scope that we continue to juggle.  For us, our workflow continues to slide well behind where we should be. We are working hard to catch up and will endeavor to have most of our work done by 31 March. The exceptions are those that we are unable to for reasons beyond your or our control.

Due to recent events, we’re sure there has been added pressure put on your businesses on top of the normal challenges we as business owners face. We are here to assist you if and when you need, at any time. There are also the upcoming tax payment dates that could contribute to cashflow pressures so we ask that you let us know if you need some relief before the due dates approach. The Inland Revenue Department have been very accommodating in this space; however, we can’t stress enough that you reach out to us earlier rather than later if you are in need of assistance or to find out what your options are.
