I'm in a bit of a situation and thought to try my luck here !

I started a business last year, we are steady but very much still growing. With a reduction to zero work during Covid lockdown and a few other set-backs we are having to cut costs as much as possible. The Business Tax Return is due in a few weeks and I really need the expertise of an accountant to file the return, there are some expenses that need to be included to claim and after much research I am still confused and unsure. Accounts are tidy and allocated into Xero.

I have approached a few accountants, and very much planned to use their services, though for this immediate tax return we just cannot take on the cost. My beautiful partner is a web developer and has kindly offered a website to help with my needs, another option is an exchange of services that I can offer (I have a few). If you are or know of an accountant (preferably chartered) who is interested in an exchange of services please send me a message to organise a conversation.

Hope everyone is recovering ok, it's not easy,

Thank you.

Tooting Trucks

Karen from Wadestown

Curious to know if other residents are woken during the early hours of many mornings (frequently around 3.15am) by the very loud and often long tooting truck horns as they leave the NZ Courier Post depot, Kaiwharawhara. We're in Wadestown, and this has been an ongoing issue.

We're in Wadestown, and this has been an ongoing issue. We've contacted Courier Post numerous times and are assured the problem will be addressed, and for a brief time the tooting stops, but never for long. We're just wondering if we're the only ones annoyed by this seemingly inconsiderate practice or are we simply over-reacting? :-)
