My name is Phil Ramage, a Scotsman by birth, but I have lived in South East Asia and Australia for over 30 years. I am now an Australian citizen.

I have had an interesting life to say the least. The purpose of my writings here is to impart some knowledge and experience I have learned about business, accounting and as an expat who has enjoyed living in several different countries. Why is all this important to you?

  • Expat and  travel information about South East Asia

    If you need to know about South East Asia (Thailand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia,  or the land down under for example), from Visas, work, and socializing, there are, or soon will be blogs to help you. If you have questions, just ask.

  • Have an Accounting, or bookkeeping problem,

    Whether you operate a manual or computerized sysem, then again there are or will be blogs to help. If you have a particular problem in these areas, send me details, and I will see what I can do to help.

  • Have a spreadsheet problem?

    Chances are I can help. Although I am a qualified accountant, my forte is Excel. If you have a spreadsheet question or problem most likely I can help, either personally or through my blogs.

  • If I knew in my younger days, what I knew now about business

    Who knows where I could be now. If you want to make money, read some of my tips before it’s too late.

  • Life getting you down?

    I have had some unique physical challenges in my life and I think they will be inspirational to others. Despite my issues I have been around the world and lived my dream. You can too.

To Sum Up

I hope you all will find all or most of my blogs of interest and all of you will contribute regularly. I will reply to all genuine comments. I am a semi-retired Chartered Accountant who has recently turned his hand to Internet Marketing and writing articles. As you can see in the top left, my blogs fit under one of five categories: My eventful life, Expatriate Life, Accounting & Bookkeeping, Excel spreadsheet Tips, and General Business advice. A wide variety, I hope you agree which should be of interest to everybody. Each category can be accessed either by clicking on the appropriate link in the top left, or (preferably, to get a more sensible order) on one of the menu selections across the top.
