 I can hardly believe that we find ourselves in the last month of 2021, with Christmas looming and uncertainty in the air. For the first time in 5 years o-a-sys had to make the very difficult decision to cancel the Customer Christmas Event for 2021. Dwinling number of attendees and the uncertain climate we find ourselves in has meant that people and businesses are not getting out to events. We will be back in 2022 making this event happen.
In the meantime we have launched our first Christmas competition to ensure everyone can take part in our Christmas festivities. Great Prizes to be won! Who doesn't want a case of wine, ready for the season to be jolly in. As we have done in previous years, we have made a donation to a local charity in lieu of sending Christmas cards. This year we have chosen the Ashford Family Food Bank for the amazing work they do to help families that are experiencing financial hardship. Christmas can be an expensive time for everybody, but for those already on a tight budget, the added expenses of increased winter fuel bills, the extra challenges Covid-19 has created, and the pressure to buy Christmas presents can plunge many people into crisis. The Family Food Bank provides support to families that are unable to buy food or are left with a difficult choice between paying for food or other basic necessities. For more details about the excellent work they do, please take a look at their website. Christmas and New Year Opening Hours We will be open every working day during the Christmas and New Year period, with our telephone support lines open during the following times.

The team here at o-a-sys would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with joy, happiness and success. Thank you to everyone that attended our round table discussion at Business Vision LIVE last week, featuring our very own Bruce Kidd and Linda Garcia from Alluxi Consulting Ltd. We really enjoyed exploring how different businesses view productivity, as well as discussing how finding the right fit in accounting software can dramatically improve productivity in the workplace
We had an amazing time at Business Vision LIVE 2019 catching up with contacts new and old. Big congrats to the organisers Business Vision LIVE for another great event, we really enjoyed presenting and hosting our roundtable seminar on productivity with Alluxi Consulting Ltd. See you all again next time! #BizVisionLive  We are approaching a season of change. The evenings are getting darker, supermarket shelves are clearing of kids’ black trousers and filling with tubs of Heroes and Quality Street. Facebook is prepping for the 8am front door photos as parents get ready for children to start their first day at school.
With so many changes happening what changes us when we step into the office? When it comes to making changes within our business it is easy to postpone them to a later date when we feel we may have more time available. Business software is a key example. We know that if we change our software processes we could have more time to complete tasks, yet we postpone change as we don’t have enough time. Over the years business accounting software has changed massively so it is no surprise that we find the project easy to postpone. With so many software solutions being introduced into the market, and so much functionality now available, how do you know what your business really needs and if you are missing out on functionality you didn’t know existed?  The 2017/18 payroll year ends on 5 April which means it’s almost time to process your year end, a busy time for any business running a payroll. Before that, another deadline looms: the de-commission of the Government Gateway, which goes offline on 13 February and has been replaced by the HMRC Multi Digital Tax Platform (MDTP).
