This week, Team MGAA stepped beyond tax and accounting to understand how lenders read the financials we prepare.

In a CPD session led by our very own Lakshan Rajakumar and Vikram Anand, Directors at Zinu Capital, we explored what happens on the other side of a lending application.

A few key takeaways:
โ€ข Income is only part of the picture. Lenders also consider what a client could owe
โ€ข Small financial commitments can have a big impact on borrowing capacity.
โ€ขPresentation matters. How financials are structured and explained can influence the lending process.
โ€ข Preparation starts early. Financials prepared today could shape a client's borrowing options tomorrow.

For Team MGAA, it's about building expertise beyond traditional tax and accounting to better deliver value for our clients.

Zinu Capital, MGAA's mortgage arm, has been helping our clients secure competitive mortgage solutions alongside effective tax structuring for over three years.

Watch this space for Zinu Capital's public launch in the coming weeks.

Following our Sydney and Philippines kickoffs, Teams India and Sri Lanka brought energy, sharp thinking, and an incredible team spirit to the latest MGAA retreats.

From museums and escape rooms in India to badminton and the beach in Sri Lanka, the teams stepped away from their desks to connect, recharge, and put some everyday workplace strengths into action.

The proposed Federal Budget introduces major tax reforms that could significantly impact property investors, trusts, small businesses, and wealth creation strategies across Australia. While most changes are not expected until FY2028โ€“FY2029, early planning will be critical as measures such as restricted negative gearing, a 30% CGT floor, and trust tax changes are proposed.

Swipe through to see what these changes could mean for you and your long-term strategy.
