Year End To Do List – Tax Documents
Over the last few months I’ve been sending some reminder letters to those clients who hadn’t sent their tax documents in for preparation.

Tax Minimisation
It’s one of my favourite parts of the working year and it’s here!It’s tax planning time at the IQ office and as ridiculous as I sound, I’m excited.
