B1G1

Here at Nixon Advantage we pride ourselves on being the world leaders in helping Accounting firms dramatically improve their financial position. We too believe in continually challenging the status quo within the business community to improve the lives of not only our clients but also every individual we touch through our clients around the world.

You see, here we all believe in this simple truth: business has the power to change lives. So, in partnership with our friends at B1G1, we're making that happen in all sorts of ways:

First, from October 1 2011 Nixon Advantage is committed to selecting key worldwide community projects that touch the lives of thousands of people each and every week

Second, everyone on our team has been given the ability to give too, not just by giving you great care and service, but by working with B1G1 to select projects that are special to them as individuals on the team. We'll be doing different things each week with different projects. We promise we'll keep you posted on the impact that's having.

Third, you'll pay not one cent more. Our giving comes out of our pockets, not yours.

Fourth, if you'd like to contribute to some or all of our giving, you can. Make one simple call to us at +61 7 3607 6600 and we will help you make an even bigger difference.

Here's the simple truth again:, businesses, yours and ours, have the power to change lives. We're playing a part in that and we're thrilled that our clients are too, just by doing what they normally do - connecting with Nixon Advantage.

We value that so much.

Thank you from all of us. Together, we're simply making a huge difference.
