Unicorn Business Solutions

08/08/2022

📣 As we move towards the next stage of our journey, we are excited to announce that we have recently joined forces with Unicorn Business Solutions! ✨ As the owners, Craig and Deb Badcock, approach their version of retirement, the ideal solution for their client base was to ensure a seamless transition of tax and accounting services to Scanlon Richardson Financial Group. Both firms believe in the same principles of constant communication and proactive client service. We are looking forward to working together and providing more great outcomes to our valued clients.

To welcome and meet the Unicorn clients, our team held a function at Devonport Country Club last Wednesday and farewelled Craig and Deb as they move on to the next phase of their lives. It was a great success. 🥳

As our customer base and team continue to expand to meet the rising demand, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our existing clients for their continued support along the way and also extend our welcome to Unicorn clients during this exciting time.🤩

We will always be a client first firm delivering the great service!

Over the years, I’ve talked to clients about the importance of the Monkey Bar Theory - you have to let go before you can move forward. You see, most business owners have a long list of things they want to do and haven’t been able to get to. The primary reason they can’t get to them is because they have no capacity and that is because they can’t let go of anything.

Well, I have taken my own advice.

As per earlier posts, Deb and I have “retired” from tax and accounting work to pursue other opportunities.

I am pleased to confirm that Scanlon Richardson (www.srfinancialgroup.com.au) have agreed to take over tax and accounting work for our clients. They will provide our valued and loyal clients with a great service and we look forward to working with them over the next year to ensure that all our information and knowledge is passed on to ensure a seamless transition.

Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions.

What’s your lifetime goal? Or maybe a better question is, what are your lifetime goals?

What’s your lifetime goal? Or maybe a better question is, what are your lifetime goals? Each of us only has 168 hours in every week. How should they be used? Are you using your hours to achieve your lifetime goals or are you going through the motions where next week will be much like last […]

...They not only believe in a better future but also believe they are the one to make that future come true.

Marcus Buckingham in his book, The One Thing You Need to Know, defined great leaders as being preoccupied with the future. He said they have a vivid image of what the future could be and friction between what is and what could be burns them up and propels them forward. They are restless for change,....

Over the years I’ve met some great accountants working in public practice, but I’ve also seen a lot of cowboys...

I started my first accounting practice when I was 27. Since then, I have been involved with and ultimately been responsible for the preparation and lodgement of thousands of business and individual tax returns. We lodged over 10,000 returns in 2000 alone! As I approach “retirement”, I’m happy ...

Employers have moved from not being able to find good employees to not being able to find any employees.

Why are the leaders from both major political parties travelling the country announcing projects with a focus on job creation? Everyone I speak to says we need more people, not more jobs. Employers have moved from not being able to find good employees to not being able to find any employees. Maybe A...

Is fear the real enemy?
The only way to get rid of the fear is to...

A great quote from a Seth Godin 2014 blog that I saved: “How do I get rid of the fear?” Alas, this is the wrong question. The only way to get rid of the fear is to stop doing things that might not work, to stop putting yourself out there, to stop doing work that […]

The benefits of designing and implementing a sales system with steps that progress a customer along a straight line are enormous.

The shortest distance between any two points is a straight line. The shortest distance from a customer enquiry to a successful sale is also a straight line. So, why not design a sales process that takes the customer through a series of well-designed steps that produce predictable great outcomes? I c...
