Firm Director Dan here. Appreciation post for the Next Level Taxation Team. I turn 41 tomorrow and my team surprised me yesterday with lunch, which was awesome! A good business is only as good as its team and I just wanted to thank Riana and Bryah, as I appreciated it.

P.s. we are sponsoring ‘Mopar Mayhem’ at lakeside raceway which is on Saturday next weekend. Great day out seeing some classic cars so come along and check it out.

Have a great weekend!!

As a small business who enjoys supporting our local community, we are always looking for more ways to give back.

Our ongoing sponsorship of a young girl in need through The Smith Family brings us great joy. Therefore, when we came across the opportunity to partner with the Dads Community, we were excited to get on board. As a team we are really impressed with the amazing work they do supporting Dads, which we find to be really crucial right now given the mental health epidemic among men in our country.

Therefore, we are also now proud sponsors of the Dads Community and look forward to partnering with them to make a difference.

Oh no! It's hard to believe that the end of the 2026 financial year is just around the corner!
