We’re moving our butts for bowel cancer – and we’re just getting started!

Our team has officially smashed our original $1,000 fundraising target… and we’re currently sitting at an incredible $1,747 raised.

The support has been amazing – thank you to everyone who has donated so far. But we’re not stopping there.

Together, we’ve already clocked up 592 kms as part of the Move Your Butt campaign, and we’re well on our way to hitting our ambitious 2,300km target. Every step, run, walk and kilometer logged is about raising awareness for bowel cancer and supporting the vital work being done in this space.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in New Zealand – and early detection truly saves lives. That’s why this campaign matters. There's still time to get behind us, donate, or simply help spread the word. Let’s keep the momentum going and make an even bigger impact.

We’re lacing up, logging the kms, and moving with purpose. Let’s do this.

If you would like to donate to this initiative this can be done here: https://www.moveyourbutt.org.nz/fundraisers/hdgirls

Between the beach trips, barbecues and a good book in the sun, the holidays are not only a great opportunity to relax and unwind, but to also pause and reflect.

The HD team has been using the break to think about what’s worked, what’s next, and where we want to focus in 2026. Whether it’s reviewing goals, setting new ones, or simply realigning priorities, these quiet moments of reflection can make a big difference.

Whether you’re feeling excited, unsure, or somewhere in between, we’re here to help you navigate what’s next for your business in 2026!

At Hammond Davidson, we’re proud to continue our support of Southland Country Cricket, helping local kids develop their skills, teamwork and love of the game. This season, seven players from our own client families are representing the Year 7–10 teams, competing across tournaments in Alexandra (December 15th to 17th), Gore (January 7th to 9th), and Timaru (January 16th to 18th).

From T20s to T40s, these young cricketers are showing real commitment and pride in representing our rural community. For over five years, we’ve loved supporting local youth sport and continue to do so, as it’s so rewarding to see them enjoying the game and making the most of these opportunities.

Good luck to all the teams in the upcoming tournaments!

Buying or selling a property or business? Here’s what you need to know about sale price allocation rules.

With property and business transactions steady, the IRD is paying particularly close attention to how purchase prices are allocated. Getting it wrong can trigger audits and unexpected tax outcomes, so it’s more important than ever to get it right.

If your transaction involves $1m+ in business assets or commercial property, or $7.5m+ in residential land and chattels, the purchase price allocation rules apply. These rules ensure buyers and sellers use the same asset values for tax purposes, avoiding mismatched positions.

What to keep in mind:
-Aim to agree on allocation in the sale and purchase agreement.

-If there's no agreement, the seller can set the allocation within three months of settlement and notify the buyer and IRD.

-If the seller doesn’t act, the buyer can allocate within the next three to six months.

-Allocations must reflect genuine market value and can impact tax outcomes like depreciation recovery and capital gains.

-Before signing a commercial agreement, it’s wise to get both tax and legal advice to understand the full picture.

If you need support navigating these rules, the Hammond Davidson team is here to help - https://hammonddavidson.co.nz

With the holidays approaching, cybersecurity threats often rise as teams work remotely or with reduced staff. Scammers exploit slower responses with phishing, fake invoices, and fraudulent requests.

At Hammond Davidson, protecting your information is always a priority. Be cautious with emails, links and urgent requests. Fusesign and Ignition have reported rising attempts to mimic trusted communications, so a quick double check can make all the difference.

Stay alert to keep your data secure, and contact the HD team for support in the New Year.

As we continue our Succession Planning Series, we turn to one of the most important and often most challenging aspects of succession: communicating openly with family.

Succession planning isn’t just about structures and finances - it’s about people. Misunderstandings can fracture families, especially during major transitions like passing the farm to the next generation.

Open, honest and regular conversations are key. Discuss goals, expectations and roles clearly, making sure everyone truly understands what's talked about, and remember people process information differently.

Flip the lens. Listen with empathy. The retiring farmer may feel a sense of loss, while the next generation may have fears or expectations of their own. Acknowledging these feelings creates space for pride, shared goals and collaboration.

Creating a safe space for dialogue, where every family member has a voice, builds trust. If conversations are sensitive or strained, a neutral facilitator can help keep discussions constructive and thoughtful.

Next time, we’ll explore how to start the process with a family meeting.
