After a huge year and ongoing pressures both internal and external, we wanted to ensure our end-of-year staff Christmas function
was something truly memorable, an event that would cement the friendships and collaborative nature of our team in an entirely
different way to our day-to-day. It had to be fun, challenging and draw on all skill sets across our team.
After months of secret planning, the Smart Business Solutions team competed in our very own The Amazing Race 2022.
With four teams of four, our crew had to combine their strengths to tackle the most challenging clues and tasks.
We kicked off the day with a delicious team brunch at our newly renovated Smart Business Solutions office. With an informal round-table discussion and discussing the year gone and plans for 2023, it was a wonderful opportunity to learn from each other.
From there, the competitive spirit kicked in as we briefed the team on The Amazing Race plans for the day.
The tasks required tactical thinking, strategy, collaborative teamwork, some physical endurance, and most of all a sense of fun!
Congratulations to TEAM PINK who worked together to solves the cryptic clues, navigate and mapping, smart (and safe) driving and
finishing all tasks in the shortest time possible!
Here's some photos of how the day played out! Check out the full album on our Facebook

Falling behind on your BAS lodgements looks like an administrative problem. Left long enough, it becomes an expensive one, because the GST you collected stays payable indefinitely while the GST credits you are owed disappear after four years. Here is what that looks like in dollars.
With negative gearing now quarantined for established dwellings, new house and land has become the sensible play for investors — but there is a trap in the first eighteen months. Interest on the land is denied, while interest on the construction is not. If the bank has written one loan, someone has to do the sums. Here is why it pays to split the loan before you sign.
When the draft legislation for the trust minimum tax was released, it came with a reassurance: if you do not want to restructure, you can simply make an election instead — no restructure, and no state stamp duty. That is accurate, but it is also a very small part of the decision. Here is why you should choose your structure for the eventual sale of your business, not for the announcement.
