Adulting 101 (Money Matters)
In August and September 2024, Desborough Accountants staff attended high schools to give a presentation to year 11 and 12 students about Financial Literacy.
We covered many topics, including:
- Getting your first job
- Managing your money
- Running a business
- Government support
- Security and scams, and
- Basic income tax return information
We have provided below a couple of downloads – some notes from this presentation, and a copy of the PowerPoint slides for students and their parents to refer back to. If you are interested in more information for young people or wish to engage our tax agent services, please do not hesitate to contact our office to book an appointment with one of our friendly staff.
