The 5 best things about the 30th June.
Even though it’s an arbitrary date to mark the end of the financial year, here are 5 excellent things about it.
The finish line. For most businesses, today marks the finish line, the end of the marathon for another year. Now, catch your breath, dust yourself off and get ready to do it all over again!
Day of Reckoning. The close of business today signals the proverbial ‘closing of the books’. It’s the chance to review your financial performance for the full financial year. To check if you made a profit or a loss. To see how you fared against your plans and budgets.
Take a moment to reflect and see what could be improved, worked on or discarded.
Reset your plans for the coming year. Now things are settling down and many areas are reopening, this is a great time to review your plans and targets for the post COVID world.
No more “End of Financial Year” sales!
End of year celebrations. Most accountants only drink twice a year. Christmas and 30th June. So good luck trying to reach your accountant after 5.00 pm, because tonight’s the night!
And finally, remember to be nice to each other. The numbers only make up part of the story. Life is far more complex. So take a breath and smile, you made it through another year. :-)
