Hello Hello !

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.

Building 101: So you want to build a sleep out...

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Mikaela Wilkes Reporter from Homed

The Government wants Aucklanders to save 20L of water a day. But what does that mean at your house?

Buying efficient appliances and fixing one-off leaks can make huge water savings, but so can small changes to daily habits. If every Aucklander showered in four minutes, we'd save 80 million … View more
