I have found a new way to feel better about timewasters - I blog about them on my totally anonymous blog where names have been changed to protect the guilty.
Perhaps not the most professional way but then again I don't give my blog address to clien…
I think you are on the right track, an initial phone or in person discussion (up to an hour) for free should be enough for the client to decide if they wish to proceed. If further meeting/discussion is required a retainer can be charged and offset a…
I don't burden my friends with how I feel and I expect them to return the courtesy. After all, if I really cared, I'd ask, and the fact that I don't ask says it all.
Mark me down for 'dismissive'.
And I'd like to point out that this outlook on lif…
Cable, I like the way you are now proposing to work and it makes sense. I'm setting up a 1 hour internet safety presentation with various schools and community groups in Christchurch. The presentation is for free, but parents will have enough inform…
I think its a good move and moves you out of the time-waster bin. When people know that you are being serious, then you only get those that are serious. Its a bit scary at first but does work.
I still do free consultations and I give as much free i…
In my industry most private clients are of the one-off, short term, variety. There is no ongoing relationship with regular work from them unlike from barristers & solicitors and some businesses we work with.
My desire isn't so much to move from fre…
Wouldn't life be great if we didn't have to deal with customers? I should say I have a slightly different focus from many, because as an accountant, clients usually want my services (if they do) on an ongoing basis - not just one off. The cost of ge…
Hello everyone,I'm interested in hearing from others out there who provide consultancy services to clients (it doesn't matter what field) in their charging practices, whether you do or don't, for initial meetings with prospective clients.Perhaps it…

Rise in staff fraud predicted
(By ROELAND van den BERGH - The Dominion Post | Tuesday, 10 February 2009)
Businesses must brace themselves for a spike in staff fraud as the recession bites, KPMG forensic specialist Mark Leishman says.
KPMG's latest fraud survey shows that in the two years to the end of 2008, New Zealand respondents lost about $21.5 million to fraudsters in 231 cases.
On average they lost $620,000, which many smaller businesses would struggle to absorb, Mr Leishman said.

Dealing with staff theft
I just thought I'd write a quick post on a situation I recently had to deal with regarding the investigation of theft within the workplace of a client.
Theft is a problem that many employers don't really want to talk about. They know it is happening to some degree but, unless it becomes glaringly obvious, many seem to prefer turning a blind eye rather than taking action against someone who they otherwise have a good working relationship with.
Some types of business are more prone to theft than… Continue
