General FAQs
- Simply, we do everything a full-service accountancy does, but we look at your business as a much bigger picture. Instead of handing your annual documents and sending you on your way, we are focussed on seeing you grow – that means strategic decisions made for the long-term, structures that build value, and people who care about your success in business and in life.
Business Advisory
- Only invest money you do not require for the next 2+ years. That way, the market conditions should not force you to make a decision that you do not want to take. Think about long term investing, inside your business and outside of your business. When it comes to shares investing and properties, you want long term investing in mind.
- We meet with most clients monthly and at the very least quarterly. We work together with businesses to ensure that we achieve the outcomes that are set. Sometimes that involves working extremely closely with clients and other times not as much.
- You should engage in the services of a financial/business advisor when you have the cashflow to implement the strategy. But also, you may need to restructure your business and change a few things if you are struggling, so that should be considered as well.
