The impacts of Covid-19 on health and business are evolving fast.  Currently, we are prioritising helping our clients.  

It is essential that every business has a plan for dealing with the fallout from this pandemic. Please note that one of the things that you can show as an 'active step' when you applied for the wage subsidy, is a business continuity plan. 

A plan will give you peace of mind and clarity for decision-making for the future of your business, and ensure you access Government support entitlements and maximise opportunities to preserve your cashflow and profitability.  In the worst-case scenario, we want you to have certainty about whether your business can continue and plan around that.

We’ve created some practical content to help you build your Business Continuity Plan and have three ways we can help you using our content:

1.      We can set aside 4 hours to create your Business Continuity Plan online with you.

2.      We can send you our templates and you can draft the plan before meeting with us online for 90-minutes to finalise it.

3.      We can send you the templates and you can create the plan yourself.

Doing nothing here is simply not an option, we will be contacting you to outline these options in more detail.  If you want to get started straight away, please let us know.

We have made two templates available for you. Please have a look at these.

In the meantime, please understand that we work from home with no disruption to the service we provide.  Our accounting software is cloud based (we can use it via the internet), and we are available via email and mobile.  So, contact us if you need our help.

Lastly, now is the time to prioritise your mental health.  As they say, put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others.  If the situation is affecting you, consider blocking out social media or things that may worsen anxiety, but whatever you do, please stay in touch with us - so that together we set a plan to help you in these difficult times.
