Well, the time is almost here to close the office doors for another calendar year - and what a year it has been!
Stepping in to 2020 we continued to face a bushfire season most of us had never seen before, and then BAM, COVID-19 hit the world and changed it quite possibly forever.
As business accountants, we saw the resilience and perseverance of some, the destruction and heartbreak of others and those that would never have survived had it not been for hard work, assistance packages, continuity plans, but more importantly the support network around them of which we have had the honour of being apart of for so many small and medium businesses in the Hunter & Lake Macquarie region (and beyond!). We call it an honour because it truly has been.
Thank you to our valued clients, friends, colleagues and community for letting us in to your worlds when they may have been falling apart. Thank you for letting us do what we do best for you. Perhaps we helped to keep you afloat, but by allowing us the opportunity to do that, please know that we stayed afloat because of you.
To our small, close-knit team at McCallum Partners: we couldn’t have made it through without you. Thank you for adapting, for getting up in this, “the year that was”, and getting on with it regardless of where you physically had to do that from. As a team we worked hard not only for our business, but so many around us and it’s been a pleasure to do that together.
Our wish is that all of us can now take a moment to recharge, reset and come back to ourselves a little: a proverbial “feet up on the table” rest if you will. For a magical Christmas and New Year, for a better year ahead, for improved or continued success, happiness, health and wealth. That is our wish for you.
Our office will be closed from Thursday, 24 December 2020 and will reopen Monday, 11 January 2021.
We look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
The Team at McCallum Partners
