The Challenge:
Wandering Events is a wedding and function planner specialising in creating unique events through the use of giant Nordic tipis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, their business operations were severely impacted due to the restrictions and lockdowns. Understandably, the owners were very concerned about the future of their livelihood.
Adding to their stress and anxiety, their accountant provided no clear guidance during these testing times. Instead, the owners were left to their own devices to navigate through the complex rules for accessing the various government support packages available.
Apart from lodging their tax returns each year, the owners were often left frustrated and disappointed by the lack of any real care from their accountant in terms of valuable advice and support for their business.
Solutions:
Wandering Events approached Palia Partners, seeking the professional support they so desperately needed.
We had kept ourselves updated with the criteria to access the support packages, and by working closely with the owners, we were able to quickly secure maximum funding available to the business from both the Federal and State governments.
By taking the time to understand the business and taking swift measures, we were able to provide the assistance and support needed to see them through one of the most difficult periods in their business.
The Result:
Our analytical approach meant we do not just focus on financials, but seek clarity on the bigger picture before us and identify ways to provide a plan, ensuring the business was able to come out the other side of the pandemic stronger.
A year on from the toughest period of Melbourne’s lockdowns, we are proud to see Wandering Events not only surviving but striving, performing strongly and taking on more bookings than ever.
At Palia Partners, we take pride in being your trusted adviser and business partner. You can rely on us for our support and knowledge, and our proactive approach is only matched by the quality of our advice.
