So many of my clients are slow to pay since I have been with HNRY. I didn’t have this issue when using Xero but clients got reminders prior to the due date which isn’t something HNRY does. Its usually only a day or three late but it messes up my payments that I have to pay such as rent this week. I’m living week to week so have no buffer for these things. I was thinking I should start “editing” and resending invoices as a manual reminder prior to the due date. Would this work or cause issues? Has anyone else done something like this?

Super disappointed to have attended an interview, all seemed well and then they dropped the bomb that theres no approximate start date and they are a growing company who are basically collecting a list of suitable candidates for if and when jobs open up.
I took the day off work and lost $300 of work today to attend, travel was 90mins round trip, had to reorganise my whole morning and get my child to school ridiculously early to make the interview. I have had a nightmare looking for a new role but this really rubbed me up the wrong way. I have commitments, a family to feed and bills to pay. Just wanted to rant.

I use Hnry for my taxes and do some PAYE work also.
I see the info on Hnry in regards to end of year taxe refunds and was wondering what everyone’s experiences with having taxes done via Hnry are like? My previous accountant was incredibly quick to get things done, whats everyone’s experience with wait times for tax refunds via Hnry? I see it will be from May 16th onwards. Do Hnry also work out your working for families entitlements or is this IRD territory only?

Those who follow up with the after sales care and provide the training and support for your product, what does your working day look like? Is your career flexible? Pros and Cons of the job?
I am interviewing for a role that is after sales support where I would come in and provide training and support with understanding how the product works, how to understand what the product is telling you, provide follow up care and escalate any issues that may arise etc. I will be covering a region which is about 2 hours drive max to the furthest point.
I am in the industry but this is a totally new role. I haven’t got the job but want to do my homework and be on the front foot.

11yo has always hated being goalie and loves to be a forward player on the attack.
He had his turn being goalie last game and missed multiple balls because he was trying to kick them away and afterwards said he forgets he can use his hands. His team lost and he feels terrible so we want to work on his goalie skills and build a bit of confidence In this position.
He also Ioves to be up in the action when on the field but won’t take a shot as he’s scared he will fail so passes the ball off. Last season he played for another team where only the coaches child was allowed to take goals because he refused to share the ball and If you tried and missed the coaches child would get really mean and nasty. The coach and child is the reason why we changed teams.
How do we build confidence in these two spaces? We are only two games into the season and only practice as a team once a week.

Our 11yo is showing the exact signs and symptoms of servers disease. Heel pain in one foot the day after his first game back for the season and 4 days later it’s now in his other Heel too. I spoke to the doctor who said they diagnose by a squeeze test and basically that’s it. X-rays to rule out any injuries if the pain is severe.

If its servers disease what’s the best steps to take, rest? Continue to play with wrapping or gel shoe inserts? Pain relief? He’s only had 1 game this season, will he be ok to carry on playing or should we pull pin? Any advice welcome from anyone who has been through this.

My 11yo loves technology, robotics, creating all sorts of books, things and gaming. He is always saying he wants to become an engineer or be like Mark Rober. I want to do what I can to support him as he’s now at the same age I was when I started making choices that led to my career and I didn’t have my parents support and believe I would be in a much better place had I had the right support and education around my choices. He has had the same vision for about 4 years now like I had so I think this will be something he takes seriously.

When I think of engineering I think of welders and steel. When I think of Mark Rober I think of gadget man. When I think of tech and gaming I think of computers and developers. I obviously really have no idea so would love some advice on how to best support him and encourage his passion. Maybe some advice on what sort of career one could have given the description he’s given me of what he wants to do. If anyone’s in this sort of role what steps did you take and what is your actual job.

* Edited to add please don’t crucify me over Mark rober I just had a google and see he was a nasa engineer. My original observation was purely off his YouTube videos I had seen. This is why I’m here because I know NOTHING and want to support my sons aspirations.

I have noticed a significant drop in job listings in the Waikato recently. Right now only 820ish listings on trade me vs 1200 a couple weeks ago.
I scroll seek each day and usually get a good 80+ local listings at the end of each day. Now some days will be lucky to list 30. I’m in agriculture and there seems to be A big decline in this particularly.
I assume this has possibly stemmed from a rise in fuel prices unless I have missed something?

Has anyone else seen this sort of decline where they are based? Business owners are you hesitant to hire at the minute and why?
