What's new?
The New Northstar Super
We recently decided to re-brand our self managed superannuation fund specialist division into two distinctive areas, being Northstar Super & ASK (Absolute Super Knowhow). The reshuffle has been driven by the substantial growth experienced by our superannuation business last year. We have created Northstar Super to focus on clients of the Northstar Group.
The re-brand of name will in no way affect the quality of our service or your valued relationships. It will in fact enable us to better serve our Northstar clients as we will now have our very own SMSF division. There are some key things that you need to know about the re-brand:
- The name change will not affect the service you currently receive from our business;
- From 1 July 2007, all correspondence will be delivered under the name of Northstar Super.
- The team at Northstar Super and ASK will remain the same.
- Your fee will not change.
At Northstar Super we can assist you with the establishment of your super fund and the ongoing administration of your fund including the preparation of annual accounts, tax returns and audits. We can also provide you with tax advice on major superannuation matters such as contributions, benefits and pensions. Contact Andrew Stanning or Linh Huynh for more information.
Northstar News - Guiding you in the Right Direction
Welcome to the August Edition of the Northstar News.
Many people traditionally undertake tax planning activities right at financial year end. However, it is definitely more effective to be planning all year round.
Even better, build a financial plan for this year, next year and beyond. Now is the perfect time to plan for the 2008 financial year. Have you considered;
-
preparing or updating your business plan,
-
forecast your cash flow and working capital needs,
-
developing a growth plan,
-
or consider your tax obligations for the full year.
We can help you develop a yearly plan and assist you to monitor your financial and tax results on a regular basis.
We look forward to being of assistance to you in this financial year.
