Kia ora,

Our next meeting of the Western Suburbs Stroke Survivors will be on Tuesday 9th January 2024 at 10.30am at Huntleigh Home, 221 Karori Road.
To find us, go in and past Reception and turn right.

Did you know in New Zealand about 9,000 people each year have a stroke. Some 2,000 die from a stroke; about another 2,000 are left severely incapacitated, about another 2,000 have considerable disability and the rest have some disability or nearly recover. Nobody recovers completely.
It is estimated that some 50% of strokes can be avoided with life style changes.
Interested to find out what you can do to have a good chance to avoid a stroke??

We look forward to meeting all fellow stroke survivors, carers and friends and discussing how we are getting on.

Nga mihi,
Peter Macleod

How about you let me take care of your bookkeeping, admin and payroll - and you get to enjoy family time on your evenings and weekends, instead of paperwork and admin?

Have you considered hiring a Virtual Assistant to take care of your office admin and bookkeeping? Do you know that hiring a Virtual Assistant is way cheaper than employing another staff member??

I’m a Certified Bookkeeper and Xero advisor, well versed in general office admin, lover of creating and following processes, payroll, paperless offices and possibly slightly OCD about numbers.

I’ve been around trades-based businesses for 20+ years, as an owner and/or office manager, so I know what’s involved in running these businesses (and I’m used to bad language and politically incorrect jokes!).
