Community
At Accru Harris Orchard, we believe in giving back and encourage you to get involved in our community initiatives:
- Red Cross Red25 Community – Our team regularly donates blood as part of this important initiative.
- KickStart for Kids – Staff volunteer to help provide breakfast for underprivileged children or mentor at KickStart’s school holiday camps.
- Hutt St Centre – We organise donations of food, toiletries, clothing, and blankets to support South Australia’s homeless community. We also take part in the annual Walk a Mile in My Boots fundraiser.
Whether it’s donating blood, serving breakfast, or raising funds, there are plenty of ways to contribute. If you have a cause that’s important to you, let us know – we’ll support you with time to make a difference.
For more information see our Community Contribution policy.
Marketing
As you engage with clients and contacts, it’s useful to be aware of our marketing initiatives and how you can get involved:
- Branding – If you need logos or branded materials, we have resources and guidelines available here.
- Website – We maintain a dynamic website featuring regular articles and podcasts. Accru also has a national website where we contribute newsworthy articles.
- Articles – We showcase our clients and the ways we help them build great businesses. If you work with a client who would benefit from publicity, let them know. We also publish articles on industry news, tax updates, and other relevant topics.
- Owner Insights Podcast – Our monthly podcast, hosted by James Orchard, features stories and insights from business owners. Episodes are promoted across our website, social media, and podcast platforms.
- Social Media – We actively post on LinkedIn and Facebook. We encourage staff to like, comment, and share content, especially when highlighting clients through articles and the podcast.
- Newsletters – Each month, we send a Client Alert with accounting, tax, and superannuation updates, along with other ad-hoc newsletters (eg Federal Budget updates). These also promote our articles and podcasts.
- Client Feedback – We run a Net Promoter Score (NPS) program, emailing clients annually to rate our service. Positive responders are invited to leave Google reviews, while those with concerns receive follow-ups from our marketing team.
