There is a common misconception that financial advice is only for the ultra-wealthy, and often this comes from people not truly understanding the nature of financial advice and what it involves.  

Lending, risk assessment, retirement planning, estate planning, investment advice, tax minimisation strategies…it’s a lot broader than most people think.  The value that individuals, couples, family groups and business owners receive comes in many forms, but ultimately it’s the opportunities it can provide from having an expert assess and review your values, goals and financial circumstances.

It’s a often a case of you don’t know what you don’t know!

Join Alex and Dave as they discuss the advice process and the benefits that seeking expert advice can achieve.

At what point does an incident at work require an investigation?  And as a business owner, what are your obligations?

When a situation arises at work, whether it be in the physical working environment, online or even at a work related event, there needs to be a process so that all parties involved are treated fairly and that the resolution is appropriate and accepted by all.

In this episode, Alex and Dave talk through the process of workplace investigations – who should conduct the investigation, how to determine the truth and who to turn to for help if you need it.  It’s one of those uncomfortable jobs as a manager or business owner, but one thing is for sure…inaction is not the answer.

Are you a big picture person or someone who dwells on the detail?  An introvert or extrovert?  Process driven by what has worked in the past or an up and coming enthusiast ready to rock the boat?!

Love it or loathe it, working from home has been a hot topic since the pandemic hit, and it appears employers and employees alike are split on their preferences.

Whilst it doesn’t affect all businesses, it can be quite challenging for business owners who were forced to conduct their businesses remotely during the pandemic and now want their employees back onsite.  

So what’s the solution?  It often depends on the type of business and its ongoing operational requirements, as well as the needs of the employees which can differ from person to person. 

In this episode, Alex and Dave talk through the various options available for employers, including their rights and potential changes to enterprise bargaining agreements.
