A message from our Managing Partner,
I am amazed to say we are approaching the final stretch of the year! Let’s see this as an opportunity to stay sharp and keep your business moving forward, while others perhaps start to slow down. The weeks between the Melbourne Cup and Christmas can test even the most organised businesses, cash flow is often tight, people tend to avoid major decisions, and distractions can creep in. But with a little foresight and the right systems in place, this period can actually become one of your biggest opportunities to get ahead of the competition.
This month, we explore how smarter systems and local expertise can help boost profitability, why business activity slows at year-end and how to turn that slowdown to your advantage. A few smart moves now can help you finish 2025 strong and set you up for a successful second half of the financial year.
Lastly, I would like to touch on a personal note… we’re celebrating some wonderful news within the Advivo family. One of our long term senior accountants Anita, whom many of you know, has recently welcomed a beautiful new addition to her family, and the whole team couldn’t be happier for her. I’d like to congratulate Anita on the arrival of her new family member, a wonderful milestone for her and her loved ones.
Kind Regards,
Leon Stephan
Managing Partner
