Got my new uniform late last week- a warm jumper!!
Being a Pilbara girl for most of my working life I have never owned work jumper before š
I got to wear it for most of my presentations & trainings this week - Cashflow is King, Finance basics for Not for Profits with Wicked Strategies and some Xero payroll training too.
5 hours of training this week and itās only Tuesday afternoon - I do love my job š

Rebranding in progressā¦.
Itās been a long 6 months of merging 2 businesses together, and we are very close to the end now.
Northwest Accountancy is based in Karratha with an office, and Profit First Accounting is an online only business with our team working from home across Australia.
Somehow, we have made it all fit together š
The new combined business is known as Profit First Accounting and Coaching.
We still do tax returns, plus business coaching, bookkeeping services for businesses and provide financial education for both businesses and individuals under our Educational arms of Unexpected Bookkeeper and Where Did My Money Go?
You will hear lots more about these as we move from āmaintenance modeā, keeping things ticking along, to āramp up modeā having space for more people to enter our world.
