It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!
Season’s greetings to all of you, our clients near and far. Near and far because our clients are found in all corners of this great land.

The Best Accountant Jokes of 2025
Q: Why was the accountant in rehab?
A: Solvency abuse.
Q: Who leads the accountants’ army?
A: General Ledger.
Q: Why did the accountant get dehydrated?
A: He didn’t have enough liquid assets.
Hometown Summer
Speaking of dehydrated, summers in Ballarat can get seriously hot. It’s a town of extremes—freezing for months during winter, then baking through January.
It’s true that many locals head down to the Surf Coast (where our second office is located in Torquay) to enjoy the ocean breezes. But summer in Ballarat can be wonderful in its own right. The city quietens down, and the big old trees provide plenty of shade.
Walking, cycling, picnicking or paddle-boating around Lake Wendouree are terrific ways to spend a warm summer’s day in the ’Rat. And then summer reaches its climactic flourish of blooms and beauty with the Ballarat Begonia Festival, before the season turns to autumn and our accountants start going tax-crazy again…
Accountants For All Seasons
Yes, there is a tax season, and we all know when that time of year rolls around. From June through to October it’s certainly action stations around here.
But in reality, people in business—and busy families—need a great accountant in their corner all year round. There’s far more to manage than just tax returns. Tradies, for example, need to keep their books ship-shape week in, week out, and that’s not easy when you’ve been on the tools all day and are exhausted in the evenings.
That’s why many local tradies, and many from further afield, rely on CGH Accounting’s Tradie Bookkeeping Services.
