…don’t panic, it’s not as morbid as it sounds… I’m simply referring to the end of the financial year!

As I write this, it’s Sunday night.  I’ve nestled myself into the king size bed in my room at one of my favourite places in Melbourne, Crown Metropol.  Still full from the superb dinner (including dessert!) I had at The Meat & Wine Co, pondering the conversation from the night and feeling remarkably relaxed…until I realise it’s the 1st of June…the first day, of the last month of the financial year…and there’s only 21 business days until 30th June…

Some of you may wonder what all the fuss is about, but others will know that there are many things that should be done, and many things that can be done before 30th June to put yourself and your business in the best position possible for the end of the financial year…and the start of a new one!

I spoke recently about the importance of planning, and I firmly believe that if you can organise yourself, or get the right help throughout the year, then there’s no need for panic at the end of the financial year…but if you’re feeling like there’s questions you need to ask or actions that need to be taken, I encourage you to do so sooner rather than later!  Inevitably…questions and answers and actions take time…so give yourself and your advisors the best chance of attaining the best possible outcome…

…remember, there’s only 21 business days until 30th June!
