		<description><![CDATA[Elizabeth has migrated two of my businesses from &#8220;MYOB&#8221; to &#8220;Xero Online Accounting&#8221; at a very critical and busy time for us. The migration has been seamless and I am looking forward to a coaching period of the new program. Obviously her experience and training has been extensive and is confident with every facet of accounting services. I can highly recommend Elizabeth, she is a very polished and competent practitioner. .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Running a small business, or any business for that matter, usually means that a large amount of your time is focussed on growing the business. Although statistics reveal that all Australians, whether employed or self-employed, do not have enough time for their personal life, small business owners are often the ones who are most time-poor when it comes to looking after themselves. And the smaller the business, the worse this disparity can be. Sole-traders and micro-businesses often have to fulfill a variety of job roles from administration to marketing &#38; sales and providing the actual products or services that are<a href="http://blueemerald.com.au/http:/blueemerald.com.au/the-importance-of-worklife-balance/">     ...<b>[Read more...]</b></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are rapidly approaching the end of the Australian financial year. Already! Again! With only two months to go until 30th June, this is the time when it&#8217;s necessary for business owners to start looking at their business and see what changes they need to implement. Accountants and bookkeepers like to harp on about this, but it can be a vital process in your business. When businesses are making a respectable profit, looking tax minimisation strategies is very relevant in the last quarter of the financial year. Another key area that can be useful to assess this quarter can be<a href="http://blueemerald.com.au/http:/blueemerald.com.au/thinking-of-xero-now-is-the-time/">     ...<b>[Read more...]</b></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The bookkeeping industry has been around for a very long time. In fact, the oldest record of double-entry bookkeeping that has been discovered was in 1340, with it becoming common practice by the end of the 15th century. So with this very long history, what has changed? In the latter part of last century, we moved from keeping financial records in actual paper books and ledgers to using computer software. This was an amazing advance which allowed both accounting professionals and business owners to be more efficient and have a range of tools and reporting at their disposal.

		<description><![CDATA[Strong cashflow is a vital part of a business whether you are large or small. It ranks high in the reasons why an otherwise successful business fails. The simple definition of cashflow means &#8220;Do I have enough in the bank account to cover all the expenses?&#8221;. Unfortunately, this is an area that alot of business owners ignore because there is just not enough of their time to go around. Because debtors collection can be time consuming. And like like a plane that runs out of fuel, the business starts to make that downward spiral&#8230;&#8230; Retail type businesses have an advantage<a href="http://blueemerald.com.au/http:/blueemerald.com.au/making-your-cashflow-work-for-you/">     ...<b>[Read more...]</b></a>]]></description>

The website redesign had of course been put on hold as we have been busy preparing this quarter&#8217;s BAS &#38; IAS for all our clients. But today I am right back into it and really steaming along quickly. Hooray! We have so many people interested in our new range of services &#38; packages and our old website really doesn&#8217;t represent what we do anymore. So we really need to get our site live without any more delays.

		<description><![CDATA[My blog post a few days ago mentioned whether I was coming towards the light at the end of the tunnel or just a train. And a resounding &#8220;train!&#8221; has been heard at Blue Emerald &#8211; our new website is still not complete &#38; live. Apart from the word &#8220;soon&#8221;, I am giving up on estimating when that will be&#8230;.. Of course client&#8217;s needs come well before any website re-designing and this week has been full of helping some of our clients with some of their problems. Shall I say it again&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..? Stay tuned!]]></description>
