You are a bookkeeper with ABC Accounting PTY. LTD. and a client has made an appointment with you after being referred by one of their friends who is a client of yours. The new client you are about to meet is Greg Brown who is the General Manager of a piggery. Facts obtained during the initial interview: Greg started the piggery as a hobby from his country residence which he and his wife Lee moved to as a "Tree Change". Greg worked as a landscape gardener during the day and looked after the pigs before and after work. As the piggery grew Greg decided to work full time in the business. Greg has called his business "Pig Man". Greg prepared his own tax from the records he has kept. Greg has become concerned that he may not be fulfilling all his legal requirements because of the natural expansion of the piggery. Greg was hoping that along with the bookkeeping taxation advice that you would discuss how he might grow his business now that he has become full time especially given the pay is not as much as Greg and Lee are used to. Greg has a Microsoft Surface Studio - 1TB / Intel Core i5, a Toshiba Portege X30 an iPad Pro 12.9'' (64GB, Wi-Fi) and an iphone x 256GB. Greg enters the source documents into an Excel file meticulously including carefully referencing and filing every invoice, receipt, statement and the like. You use a Dell Laptop XPS 15 - intel Core i7 and a Lenovo MIIX 520, 20M30017AU.
