Business is different this year. With all of the closures, isolations and social distancing caused by the pandemic, all around us we see a massive change in the way business is being done.

Zoom meetings and going online to do business are two aspects of change that will be the most noticable for many people.

Working off the back of a grant from the Greater Shepparton City Council, accounting firm, AHA Services developed their website to enable clients to lodge their tax return information online.

With the changes, the firm has recently engaged three new accountants, Alex Gallace, Justin Kalafatis and Alannah Patafio to help process the information and AHA Servicesmake the gradual transition that much easier for clients to adjust to.

Director of AHA Services, Salvatore Pennisi  said, “With the requirements to meet all the hygiene regulations businesses now have follow, being able to lodge online will see a lot of people feel more comfortable by not having to spend too much time face to face in a meeting.

“A lot of our business can now be done over the phone, online and through email. With e-signature we can finalise their accounts on the website.”

AHA Services is located at 314 Wyndham St, Shepparton and can be reached on 5858 4687 or through their website at http://ahaservices.com.au
