Gossip…

It was a pretty quiet Christmas and New Year this year for Justin and the CVA team. Justin had Xmas at home and then travelled to Bargara Beach to spend some quality time without phones and emails and has returned fresh as a daisy ready to take on the ATO! Paul had Christmas in Toowoomba and was Father Christmas for the big day – pictured with his kids and nieces.
Mel celebrated Christmas in Brisbane with her husband and family. We celebrated Mel’s birthday here with some cheese and crackers on the 5th Jan – anyone hoping to get into Mel’s good books – she loves cheese and olives!

Teneille spent Christmas celebrating with some Xmas cocktails, and then travelled to Boondooma Dam for some water skiing and camping with her family. She has returned with a tan and some sore muscles!
Nicole had Christmas in Toowoomba with her family but managed to let her hair down and light up for New Years Eve!

Lifeline Presentation

Justin presented our Back To School voucher to Derek, CEO of Lifeline and Pam, Intervention Case Worker of Lifeline. We raised $600 with the help of our amazing clients and the team here at CVA.  This is enough to completely fund the chosen local family’s back to school supplies which is a great start to the kids schooling year. We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all our very generous clients who assisted us with our fundraising. Donation receipts will be coming soon to all who donated.
2016 will bring a new fundraising effort for the CVA team. If you have any good ideas for a charity we should support this year email Nicole on Nicole@cvaccountancy.com.au, we would love your input!

Guvera Update

Guvera has had its best 6-12 months without question. The company has grown from 1M to 15M+ registered members. And more importantly about 30 Key Brands have signed on globally in the last 6 months. Revenues have hit over $1M QTR and have set a base for much stronger growth in 2016.

The target is for 300-500 Brands by this time next year and the Guvera Sales team will map out exact plans for this at the next AMMA accountants conference. As a result of the Member Growth & Brand Engagement Growth, Guvera is now well positioned for IPO. The IPO is on track for early 2016 as previously advised.

There is some work to do be done pre IPO both re capital & mostly just due diligence, governance and investment committee & broker work. All is progressing well and we are looking forward to both a successful IPO to start 2016, and more importantly a big 2016 for Guvera re Brands & Members.

In a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, forgetting to pause and appreciate the simple joys that surround us. But amidst the challenges and hardships, there is always a glimmer of light waiting to shine through the darkness. Today, let's embark on a journey to explore the uplifting and positive aspects of life, reminding ourselves of the beauty that exists in every moment. Gratitude: A Key to Happiness Gratitude is a powerful tool that can transform even the most mundane of days into something extraordinary. Take a moment each day to reflect on the things you're grateful for, whether it's the warmth of the sun on your face, the laughter of loved ones, or the beauty of nature. By shifting your focus to the blessings in your life, you'll find that joy naturally follows. Embracing Imperfection Life is messy, unpredictable, and imperfect – and that's what makes it beautiful. Instead of striving for perfection, embrace the flaws and quirks that make you unique. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small, and learn from your mistakes with grace and humility. Remember, it's okay to stumble along the way – it's all part of the journey. Finding Joy in the Little Things Happiness doesn't always come from grand gestures or monumental achievements. Often, it's the little things that bring the most joy – a kind word from a stranger, a hug from a friend, or a quiet moment spent watching the sunset. Pay attention to the small moments of beauty and wonder that pepper your day, and you'll find that happiness is never far away. Spreading Kindness and Love In a world that can sometimes feel cold and indifferent, kindness is like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds. Make it a priority to spread love and positivity wherever you go, whether it's through a simple act of kindness or a heartfelt compliment. By lifting others up, you'll find that you lift yourself up in the process. Cultivating Inner Peace True happiness comes from within, rooted in a sense of peace and contentment that transcends external circumstances. Take time each day to nourish your mind, body, and spirit – whether through meditation, mindfulness, or simply taking a walk in nature. Cultivate a sense of inner peace that will sustain you through life's ups and downs, allowing you to navigate challenges with grace and resilience. Embrace the Journey Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, highs and lows, but it's also a journey filled with beauty, wonder, and endless possibilities. By embracing the bright side of life, finding joy in everyday moments, and spreading love and kindness wherever we go, we can create a world that is a little brighter, a little kinder, and a little more beautiful for us all. So let's embark on this journey together, with open hearts and open minds, ready to embrace all that life has to offer.

Boosting Your Superannuation: Seven Powerful Strategies
By Caroline Gillies 19 Oct, 2023
When it comes to being a Director of a company, there are administrative requirements that must be complied with, including keeping ASIC in the loop. We all hate paying unnecessary fees, and ASIC loves to charge fees. To avoid late fees, ASIC must be told about any changes to company details, including your business or residential address, within 28 days. If your company's information changes, please let us know so we can notify ASIC on your behalf. Example: Jarryd gets a late fee Jarryd recently moved his company to a new storefront. In the rush of changing to his new principal place of business, he forgot to update his address details with ASIC. A month later, Jarryd logged into his online account to change his address to reflect the address of his new principal place of business. Because it was outside the 28 day timeframe, the company was charged a $93 late fee. If he had waited longer and lodged the change of address more than a month late, the company would have been charged a $387 late fee. To avoid fees in the future, Jarryd realises it's important to update his details as soon as they change. In summary, be like Jarryd and realise the importance of advising Clear Vision Accountancy Group of any changes. Example supplied by ASIC
