Will you ever take a holiday?

Tuesday, May 01, 2012

 

A client recently asked me what I was doing over Easter and I told them I was helping my friend house sit 10 minutes from the city. They replied ‘well a change is as good as a holiday’. I asked the client what they were doing over Easter, which brought a response I have heard often - ‘catching up on things at the office, there is too much to do’.

Are you giving your clients what they want?

Tuesday, April 03, 2012


My wife and I had an extremely frustrating experience recently.

She has been at me for ages to build some cabinets and shelves around the TV in our kitchen area. We debated the matter for a long time (being a simple bloke I didn’t think we needed them in the first place), but once I had conceded the point we discussed exactly what we wanted in terms of design, layout, colour and budget. We were very clear on what we wanted especially considering it had to blend with existing cabinetry in the same area.

 

 

Are you paying more tax due to your business structure?

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

 

The way your business is structured can have an effect on the amount of tax you pay and ultimately the amount of money you make. Each structure has set up and ongoing costs and different legal implications, however, investing in a good structure now can result in benefits in the future.

 

 

Reflections over 25 years

Thursday, March 22, 2012

 

2012 marks the 25th year since Hattam McCarthy Reeves was launched. With a feeling that this is actually a significant achievement in the life-cycle of a business, I thought I would take an opportunity to reflect back over the 25 years and perhaps have a look into the ‘crystal ball’ to see what the future might hold.
