Whutupōro - Awesome Accountants

🏉 5 ACCOUNTING MYTHS — DEBUNKED!

Some business myths hang around longer than a muddy rugby jersey. 😅

Making plenty of sales doesn’t always mean you’re profitable.
Money in the bank doesn’t always mean it’s available to spend.
And your accountant definitely shouldn’t only appear at tax time.

Good accounting is about knowing where your business stands before you make the next play.

And if you’re not sure what your numbers are really telling you, have a yarn with the Whutuporo team.

🏉 Good numbers. Better decisions. Stronger game plan.

Very special day today. We were invited to attrnd the Rolleston Warriors Rugby League Club prizegiving and presented with an award as a sponsor of the Champion U17 Kohine team.

This award means so much coming from an awesome group of girls. Special team, special club.

Your Business Scoreboard

If your business was heading into halftime, what would the scoreboard say?

At Whutuporo, we look beyond the final profit number. Strong businesses need cash flow, tax planning, debtors under control, healthy profitability — and a life outside the mahi.

A few red numbers don’t mean the game is lost. They tell us where we need to change the game plan.

🏉 Know the score.
📈 Strengthen the weak spots.
🎯 Build a better game plan.
🌿 Make sure the business works for you — not the other way around.

If you are a true Cantab or been to Canterbury Rugby you will be well aware of Larry the Lamb and the history that stands behind our beloved mascot. Canterbury Rugby have taken it upon themselves to abandon all that history and come up with a new mascot I am calling "Barry" the Lamb.

Our Director, Kerry, is not going to stand by and let history disappear. Come check out his website at www.bringbacklarry.co.nz and sign the petition. Lets show those Canterbury Rugby bosses that you cannot mess with history!!
