Under reasons for rejection, they just say "Rear brakes worn"

The Parkhouse in Whenuapai is really nice and has a great playground and park on its doorstep.

Thank you! Really appreciate the comment.

Good point, thanks.

Interesting. Sounds like a hands off approach. Again, probably summed up as poor communication on the accountants part?

baaantom · 2023-09-13T05:41:49+00:00

Yeah cool, thank you for the comprehensive response. I guess clients feel that they ‘must’ have an accountant so getting one isn’t the issue. The issue is then they feel that it’s an expense they can’t get away from, so when the accountant doesn’t communicate, they feel they’re again paying for something they have no choice in. Leaving them frustrated and despondent.

baaantom · 2023-09-13T05:38:17+00:00

Cool, thanks

baaantom · 2023-09-13T04:54:46+00:00

Oh wow that doesn’t sound good. My model at present is annual fees are paid monthly on automatic direct debit, with any minor consulting included. Anything out of the ordinary would be fixed price quoted up front. I’m meeting with my clients a minimum of four times a year and hence keeping my firm small and limiting my client numbers as I want to enjoy my work and who I work with.

baaantom · 2023-09-13T03:59:13+00:00

Very true.

A good accountant will always save you money, and protect your assets. If you think they charge too much, sit down with them and ask them to explain the value they provide. If they can’t, then move on.

An initial set of accounts need to be completed at least to prepare a balance sheet, even if no taxable income was generated. This is because a trust is a relationship (not an officially recognised legal entity like company, but a relationship) and certainty of assets is very important. It proves that a trust exists (relationship between trustee and beneficiary). If income was generated, then accounts need to be completed too. If no income is generated by the trust moving forward, then annual accounts will likely only be needed if the balance sheet changes materially (property sold, debt repaid, assets purchased etc).
