July 2024 Newsletter

 
 

Wow! it’s been four months since Ogier Chartered Accountants merged with Accountants Hawkes Bay. After 18 years the Ogier crew had accumulated a lot of stuff and it took until the end of May to clean out their office. However, they are now settled into the new office (in the old Ministry of Works building for those old enough to remember) at 21 Browning Street, Napier.

 

We have recently enjoyed a team building exercise shooting and throwing things at Outfoxed in Te Awanga which was a lot of fun.

Engagement Letters

We have had some teething issues with sending out engagement letters electronically with many clients having not yet received them. Some clients found them in their junk mail but it appears many email accounts have blocked them.  So don’t panic if you haven’t received one yet, we are working through them.

 

Client questionnaires

A reminder that completion of client questionnaires really helps us to ensure we have all the information we need to ensure the job is done most efficiently. You can find these on our website https://www.accountantshb.co.nz/annual-check-lists
