Winter is over at last and we have moved into the freshness and warmth of Spring. Over too, for another four years are the Olympics. Congratulations to all the Australian athletes that competed, they did our country proud!

 

Back when the June newsletter was published we were busy relocating from Miranda to the newly acquired Sutherland office. We are proud to say that we are now happily settled in the new Shire location and the office is fully operational. The office furniture is in, the fit-out is complete, the phone lines are connected, the filing cabinets are in place and the staff are excited about their new surroundings.

 

In our last newsletter we said goodbye to Bernadette Kennedy as she set off across the seas to explore the world. This quarter we farewelled Courtney Dunn, receptionist at the City office. Courtney seems to have caught the same “bug” as Bernadette and has set off overseas to have herself some adventures. We wish her all the best on her travels. Taking Courtney’s place in the office is Eryn Alexandrei. We welcome Eryn to The Quinn Group and look forward to having her on board as an important member of the team.

 

In other ‘staff happenings’ over the past 3 months, John Elisher – affectionately known as “Probie” – has been admitted to the Supreme Court of New South Wales as a practicing Solicitor. Congratulations on your achievement John, we are proud of you and the hard work that you have put in to earn this honour.

 

This time of year is particularly busy for the Accounting Team at Quinns as they become buried in what seems like an endless amount of tax returns and financial statements. If you have not contacted us to begin preparation of your returns, now would be the perfect time.

 

In this issue of The Quintessential Brief we have prepared articles on a range of current accounting and legal issues. There are tips on what you should know Before You Invest In Property as well as 5 Reasons Why It Is Important To Keep Good Business Records. From a legal perspective we look at the recent changes to our Industrial Relations legislation and explain why it is important to protect your assets with Shareholder Agreements.

 

We hope that you find this newsletter beneficial. If there are any legal, tax or financial planning issues that you would like us to address in future editions, please contact us on 1300 QUINNS or info@quinns.com.au. You can also email us if you would like to receive the latest legal, accounting and financial news update each Monday morning via our Weekly Client Alert.

 

On behalf of all of us at Quinns, we look forward to being in touch with you again soon.

 

Regards

Michael
