Whitelaw Weber - Chartered Accountants

Our offices are closed on Monday for the public holiday!

We hope you all have a great long weekend.

Keep in mind that it is the change of the dairy season this weekend, with Gypsy Day happening on Monday, so if you are travelling on the roads this weekend, stay safe!

See you Tuesday!

Hospitality is tough right now. Rising costs, tighter consumer spending, and pressure from every direction mean every dollar counts.

Understanding your key numbers and business metrics has never been more important. That’s why we created our Hospitality e-Playbook — practical insights designed to help hospitality operators make better business decisions and improve profitability.

Another hospitality business goes under as liquidations in the sector surge.

If you’re in hospitality right now, you’re feeling it.

Costs keep creeping, margins are tight, and profit? Way harder to hang onto than it should be.

So we built The Hospitality Playbook.

No fluff. No theory. Just the stuff that actually matters — wages, margins, cashflow, break-even — and how to get them working in your favour.

It’s about running a business that makes money… not just one that keeps you busy.

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

The Mums: the lunch makers, ride organisers, problem solvers, snack providers, late-night worriers, early-morning legends… and everything in between.

You keep the wheels turning (usually on not enough sleep and a reheated cuppa), and somehow make it look easy.

We see you. We appreciate you♥

We had some feedback recently that made us stop and think.

Some of our clients have been with us for a long time. The kind of time most businesses don’t get to claim.

Andrew’s been with us for 28 years. And we’ve got clients who go back even further than that.

We’ve got Client Managers in our team who aren’t even 28 yet… and we’re now working alongside the grandchildren of people who first trusted us with their business decades ago.

That’s not something you can manufacture.

It’s built over time — through good advice, straight conversations, and showing up when it counts.

Because at the end of the day, people don’t stick around for decades by accident.
They stay because they trust us.

And (we hope), it's because we're pretty good at what we do.

If you’re in hospitality, you’ll know the pressure hasn’t eased. Tight margins, rising costs, and “busy” doesn’t always mean profitable.

That’s why we created The Hospitality Playbook — a practical, straight-up guide to help you run lean, stay profitable, and stay in control.

We break down the numbers that actually matter (margins, wages, cashflow, break-even) and give you simple ways to make better decisions day-to-day.

We are incredibly proud of Jess Smith, who recently graduated with a Bachelor of Business, Majoring in Accountancy 👏🏼🎉✨

Jess, (pictured with her husband Chris), joined our team a couple of years ago, she’s been studying whilst working, & we know how much effort goes into that juggle! We are so proud of her, & we know our clients value her knowledge & expertise just as much⚡️

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
We will remember them.

Our offices will be closed on Monday, as we observe ANZAC Day.
