As regular readers will know, I like to completely overhaul the entire blog once or twice a year – new look, new layout, new features. This time around I’ll be using the popular Thesis theme.  As I’m an accounting-type and NOT a creative/tech [...]

Update your bookmarks… the blog has relocated.

November 16, 2009

The Dollars & Sense blog has a new address at http://blog.lewistaxation.com.au. You’ll need to update your bookmarks.
Unfortunately not all of the site made a smooth transition and we’ve lost the last two months worth of activity, comments and posts. I’ll do my best to repost the items I can recall.

What I learned at the CC Business Collaborations Forums

September 5, 2009

I abandoned the confines of the office on Thursday to spend a day at The Brew’s Central Coast Business Collaborations Forums, hosted at Mingara.
I took away something of value from each of the workshops I attend, not to mention the various keynote presentations and opportunity to mingle with non-accountants.
Glenn Dobson from the Kona [...]

Shop-a-Docket campaign launches this week

Thumbnail image for Shop-a-Docket campaign launches this week

Yes, it sounds a bit tacky for a professional services firm (at least it took me some getting used to) but we simply couldn’t deny the testimonials from other practices we contact who had utilised the services of Shop-a-Docket around tax time. As nobody else in the area appeared to be taking advantage, we were keen to [...]

Crime prevention and public safety…. a worthy cause indeed.
