Okay, forgive us. We spiced up some fairly dry deadlines from IRD...

No excuses this weekend... it's game on and time to give the work-life balance a nudge. History is in the making.

Have an epic one!

Have a very special Matariki with your whanau and friends. Time to rug up and look skyward.

Matariki is a day to remember loved ones, and celebrate the ‘here and now’ of life… as you make those plans for the future.

We hope you enjoy some well deserved downtime over the weekend! ⭐

Welcome to our Q2 Newsletter

This quarter we’ve given the 2026 Budget some attention, and taken a close look at the changes and detail which may affect your business.

There’s some team news and articles you may not have seen… and of course a film and book review, plus an upcoming gig that never disappoints.⭐

Winter is upon us, but the shortest day has already been… cozy in, it’ll be Spring before you know it!

Sunshine or snow, creating income from your home or bach as a holiday rental has its appeal – especially if you want to offset increasing rates and maintenance costs. 👍

Before you do, read Guy Grahams’s helpful article – a ‘straight-up guide’ on what is considered taxable activity for holiday rentals and Airbnbs, and covers the detail on potential GST obligations.

More about Language Week:

The theme for Samoa Language Week (Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa) this year is from a Samoan proverb "E afua mai i mauga tetele manuia o le nu'u," which translates to "From the high mountains are the blessings of the village."

We hope you’ve had a chance to enjoy a shared cultural experience during Samoa Language Week. There might be only one day left, but if you're interested the curated features in the Auckland Museum link below are worth a look. Lots to view, watch and explore online (with a cup of Koko Samoa on a rainy day...)

Did somebody say June already?!

It’s been a big year so far for us, and like our clients, everyone has been working hard and giving it their all.

The world works in mysterious ways… Independence Day in Samoa is this Monday too.

To our whole team, have a restful and well deserved long weekend guys! ⭐

For families, this is either a well debated topic… or the subject no one wants to talk about! In case you missed our Q1 News, here’s a well considered article from Logan Granger talking through the complexities of wealth transfer... and those grey areas which can be difficult to navigate fairly.

Today more than ever, we are reminded to be grateful and respectful of what we have, what was defended. Near the top of the list, humanity and decency.

We can’t change the international news, but we can all do our bit to shape the community. Neighbours, strangers, the traffic queue in the morning…

In the minute of silence, a simple thought – perhaps the best way to honour those who sacrificed their lives, and those who continue to serve, is through our actions every day.

Thank you to our Service men and women, and our brave ANZACs.
