At this busy time of year, I thought we could all do with a bit of humour. So I have written this tongue-in-cheek blog which I hopes brings a smile to your face.
I have some exciting news to share with all of you. As an accountant with many years of experience, I have embarked on a new journey that has transformed my perspective. Yes, you heard it right! I no longer identify myself as a mere tax-paying individual; rather, I proudly identify as tax exempt. Of course, this delightful twist in my life has brought about a sense of liberation and joy.
Embracing my new tax-exempt identity has been an enlightening experience. Gone are the days of worrying about filing my personal tax returns or having to pay attention to provisional tax dates. Instead, I can now focus on providing exceptional service to our clients who identify as taxpayers, ensuring their businesses flourish and personal positions thrive.
So, as we bid farewell to this year and welcome the new one with open arms, let us celebrate this unique journey of mine. Together, let's appreciate the freedom and professional growth that embracing a tax-exempt identity can bring. Here's to a joyful and prosperous year ahead and cheers to a tax-exempt future - may it bring us all great success and happiness!
Now… let’s see how open-minded Inland Revenue really is….
Hi Salesh, I just wanted to send you an email on behalf of GRA to say how fantastic we have found your company to date. As you know, Ben and I joined GRA a couple of months ago and have just found you so amazingly helpful in getting our new property set up correctly and sorted out. We have what I would consider a rather complicated structure as a result and it’s a fantastic feeling to know that we are getting everything done in the best way possible. We have just had approval to put a minor dwelling on the property which will make a massive difference in terms of cash flow and obviously value, something we would never have even thought of without GRA and which we are very excited about. During the buying process we attended a seminar with Matthew and from the outset thought he was fab. We therein signed up for property school and found this nothing short of fantastic. The content was relevant, up to date and comprehensive, but more importantly it was taught in a way that we could actually understand and really get value out of. I wanted to mention also, that everybody GRA have recommended to us has been just so efficient and absolute masters at what they do. A wonderful network of people that we feel very lucky to now be able to call on. From Kris Pederson and Bryan Rist who put our mortgage together to the insurance guys they then referred us to, I’m super impressed. Within GRA, Ellery has probably turned things around for us faster than I’ve ever known before, something which we appreciated so very much when it came to crunch time. She’s always a pleasure to deal with and again, we’re stoked. We’ve just settled on the property today and are about to go and get the keys. I’m pretty pumped and hence this email is probably rather excitable. So, a massive thank you to you Salesh, the partners for such a fabulous 6 weeks at property school and everyone at GRA for their help. May this be the start of our property empire. Thanks again, - A & B - July 2015
