As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, we wanted to give you an update on how we are operating, and also pass on some helpful information from the Australian Government regarding their Economic Response to the Coronavirus.
In the interest of the safety of you, your family, the community and our team, our office premises will be closed from 4.30pm on Friday 27 March 2020 for the foreseeable future, with all our staff working remotely from home.
Our team is still contactable on 9452 0071 or via email admin@spencerfinancial.com.au for all of your tax, accounting, bookkeeping and finance needs.
In terms of the Government’s Economic Response, the Government announced a second set of economic responses which, combined with their previous actions, total $189 billion across the forward estimates, representing 9.7 per cent of annual GDP. These actions provide timely support to affected workers, businesses and the broader community.
