End of Month is called end of month for a reason ….to pay everyone at the end of the month. As a trust account trainer the most common question asked is “when do I do end of month?”. Some people are adamant that it should be done on the last day of the month as “that is the end of month” …others think it should be done on the first day of the month to include all of the transactions for the month prior; even if it is a weekend and others think that it needs to be done on the first business day ofRead More →

In our last bulletin we talked about our view that we are moving into a tighter credit environment in which bank lending guidelines will become stricter.

September 1st 2016 saw us launch the new site interface. The objective was to ensure content and advertising was more integrated so the site flowed better, and also ensure we had better support for mobile devices.

Other enhancements include the ability for Brokers to buy more featured listing credits as they need them. PDF brochures can nowRead More →
