We're very proud of the fact that our director, Annette, is as hands-on with our client's accounts and their tax now as much as she was back at Day One of The A Firm ✅✨

Thankfully, our happy clients like Peter seem to agree! 😄

Thinking of varying your PAYG instalments? Read this first. ⚠️

The ATO is warning that vary your instalments too low and you could face a nasty bill at tax time

If what you paid comes in under 85% of the tax you actually owe, you may be charged interest (GIC) on the difference, plus the shortfall itself. If you're not sure, don't vary. Any overpaid instalments are refunded when you lodge your return

🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIANAH! 🥳

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to our wonderful remote team member, Tianah! 💕🎉

Working remotely does have its perks… but unfortunately, being too far away to share the office birthday cake is definitely not one of them. 😂🍰

Don't worry Tianah — we'll make the sacrifice and eat your share on your behalf. It's the least we can do. 🤭

We hope you have the BEST day, get thoroughly spoiled, and manage to switch off from work for at least a little while! 🥳✨

Happy Birthday from all of us at The A Firm! 💗💛

P.S. We promise to think of you while we're eating the cake. Probably. 😂🎂
