Hi [fname].

Welcome to our last newsletter edition for the 2011 calendar year.

In this months newsletter we have a great article written by Damien Moffrey - A year in review. This article is a recap of the Gold Coast and the Economy over the last 12 months, well worth the read!

Juris Stega has also written an interesting article - Benchmarks and other tax matters.

As you know last month Rebecca Moffrey of our office shared her Nutty Fish recipe - have you had a go at making this one? Rebecca has been kind enough to share another one of her favourite Christmas recipes - check it out below!

Enjoy the read.

Be your own brand

By Christopher Kennedy of CBRE

As the year draws to a close, and being part of Baker Affleck Moffrey Chartered Accountantsa large publicly listed company, I find myself in the midst of staff performance reviews and planning workshops for the 2011 and 2012 years. Whilst I acknowledge the time taken up by these reviews and workshops, I am also very aware of the importance of this time spent in preparation, reflection and completion of these very important processes to the success of any business.
