5 tech earthquakes in 2011

PICK a year: it’s easy to look back and convince yourself That Was The Year That Was in tech, partly because the pace of change is so rapid and partly because we so readily embrace and then quickly depend on things that are completely different.

Another year at its end!

Good day Readers

I would like this opportunity to thank all personal taxpayers for their assistance during the recent tax season!  It was a great experience and we hope to see you all again next year.  Just an urgent message to everyone to please try and plan your filing season, as more than 70% of the taxes we submitted was received in the last two weeks before the deadline.  This means an inordinate amount of pressure on all of us, and at the same time you wait 5 months longer for any refund that you qualify for.  It makes sense to contact us in August and be first!

We at BACH hope all our clients and readers have a wonderful Christmas season and a safe holiday wherever it may be!

Kind regards

Graeme Scott
