🌙 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗗𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗜𝗗𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧? 𝗟𝗘𝗧’𝗦 𝗙𝗜𝗫 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧!

You've spent all day running your business, looking after customers, managing jobs and keeping everything moving.

Then you finally get home, and instead of switching off, you're opening the laptop to catch up on invoices, receipts and bookkeeping.

Sound familiar?

The problem is, those late nights add up. And when you're tired and rushing to get things done, it's easy for mistakes to creep in.

𝗜’𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 & 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁, and as a small business owner myself, I understand how hard it can be to find enough hours in the day.

I help local tradies, contractors, café owners and small business operators take some of that workload off their shoulders.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳:

✅ Bookkeeping and bank reconciliations
✅ BAS preparation and lodgement
✅ Payroll and STP management
✅ Invoicing and expense tracking
✅ Cash flow and financial reporting
✅ Tax returns and business support

Good bookkeeping isn't just about having accurate numbers. It's about getting your time back, knowing where your business stands and not spending every evening catching up on paperwork.

You don't have to do everything yourself just because it's your business.

If your bookkeeping is taking over your nights and weekends, let's have a chat about how I can help.

⏰ 𝗢𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝟮𝟴 𝗕𝗔𝗦 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 — 𝗜𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬?

The September quarter has finished, and for many small business owners, that means it's time to get their BAS organised.

If you're lodging your own quarterly BAS, the usual deadline to lodge and pay is 28 October 2026. Eligible businesses lodging through a registered tax or BAS agent may have additional time.

But leaving everything until the last minute can make things harder than they need to be.

𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴:

✅ All business income and expenses are recorded
✅ Bank accounts have been reconciled
✅ GST calculations and claims are correct
✅ Payroll and PAYG withholding figures are accurate
✅ Your BAS figures match your bookkeeping records

And remember, if you've received a BAS but have nothing to report, you generally still need to lodge a nil BAS.

𝗜’𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 & 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁, and I help small business owners stay on top of their bookkeeping, GST and BAS obligations without the last-minute stress.

Whether you're a tradie, contractor, café owner or running your own small business, I can help get your records organised and your BAS prepared and lodged correctly.

If your September quarter BAS isn't sorted yet, now is a good time to get onto it before the deadline arrives.

If you use your car, ute or van for business, you may be entitled to claim certain vehicle expenses at tax time.

Whether you're travelling between job sites, visiting clients or making deliveries, it's important to know what you can claim and what records you need.

𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:

✅ Fuel and vehicle charging costs
✅ Registration and insurance
✅ Repairs and servicing
✅ Lease payments or loan interest
✅ Vehicle depreciation

⚠️ Remember, if you use your vehicle for both business and personal travel, you generally can only claim the business-related portion. The calculation method and vehicle type can also affect your claim.

Keeping receipts and accurate records, including a logbook where required, is important.

When you're running a small business, it's easy to assume that if you've paid for something through your business account, you can claim the GST.

But that's not always the case.

Deliberately making false GST claims is very different from making an honest mistake, but both can leave businesses with problems that need sorting out.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:

⚠️ Claiming GST on personal expenses
⚠️ Claiming credits without valid supporting records
⚠️ Incorrectly recording business purchases
⚠️ BAS figures not matching bookkeeping records
⚠️ Claiming GST credits on expenses that aren't eligible

Even small errors can add up over time, particularly when bookkeeping and reconciliations fall behind.

𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵:

✅ GST reporting and record keeping
✅ BAS preparation and lodgement
✅ Bookkeeping and bank reconciliations
✅ Business expense tracking
✅ Reviewing records for potential errors

Getting your GST and BAS right isn't just about meeting deadlines. It's about knowing your figures are accurate and being able to support what you're claiming.

If you're unsure whether your GST claims are correct or your bookkeeping has fallen behind, let's get things checked before small mistakes become bigger problems.

Paying your staff is one thing. Making sure everything behind those payments is accurate is another.

For small business owners, payroll mistakes can be easy to overlook — especially when you're busy managing staff, customers and the day-to-day running of your business.

And those little errors can become expensive problems if they're left unchecked.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:

⚠️ Incorrect wages or employee entitlements
⚠️ Errors in STP reporting
⚠️ Superannuation payments or calculations that aren't correct
⚠️ Payroll records that don't match your accounts
⚠️ Mistakes that go unnoticed until they need correcting

With Payday Super now in effect, keeping your payroll and super processes accurate is more important than ever.

Whether you're a tradie with a small team, a café owner managing staff or a growing local business, I can help with:

✅ Payroll setup and ongoing management
✅ STP reporting
✅ Super payment tracking
✅ Bookkeeping and bank reconciliations
✅ BAS preparation and lodgement

Getting payroll right isn't just about paying staff on time. It's about having accurate records, meeting your obligations and avoiding costly corrections later.

If you haven't reviewed your payroll setup for a while, now is a good time to get it checked.

👋 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗧𝗧 — 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗘𝗕𝗢𝗫 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 & 𝗧𝗔𝗫 𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗛 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧

I talk a lot on here about tax, BAS, bookkeeping and small business, but I thought it was probably time to tell you a little more about me too.

I’m Scott from Shoebox Books & Tax Brisbane North West. I’m a small business owner, husband to Cassy and a very proud dad.

Being a small business owner myself means I understand what actually goes into running one.

The long days, customers to look after, bills to pay, jobs that need finishing and that never-ending to-do list — while still trying to make time for family and life outside of work.

It’s one of the reasons I understand just how valuable it can be to have someone you trust helping with the financial side of your business.

I work with individuals, sole traders and small business owners with:

✅ Bookkeeping and bank reconciliations
✅ BAS preparation and lodgement
✅ Payroll and STP management
✅ Individual and business tax returns
✅ Cash flow and business support

I like to keep things straightforward and easy to understand. If you have a question, call me. If something doesn’t make sense, I’ll explain it.

And I’ll take the time to understand you and your business rather than treating you like another set of numbers.

I’m proud to work with so many local individuals and businesses across Brisbane North West — and if we haven’t met yet, hopefully now you know a little more about me.

If you’re looking for help with your tax, bookkeeping or business finances, give me a call and have a chat.

It’s very easy to keep thinking, “I’ll get to it next week”… especially when work, family and everything else keeps getting in the way.

But getting your tax return sorted doesn’t need to be a headache.

Whether it’s a straightforward individual return or you have business income, expenses and deductions to work through, I can help with:

✅ Individual tax returns
✅ Sole trader and small business tax returns
✅ Work-related deductions
✅ Business income and expenses
✅ Home office and vehicle claims
✅ BAS and bookkeeping support

My job is to make sure your return is prepared accurately, your eligible deductions are considered, and you understand what’s happening along the way.

So if that tax return has been sitting in the “I’ll do it later” pile, maybe today is the day to get it booked.

⚠️ 𝗜𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘?

Keeping accurate records isn’t just about having tidy books. What you report as business income, expenses and GST needs to match what’s actually happening in your business.

And sometimes mistakes are easier to make than you might think.

Some of the common problems small businesses can run into include:

⚠️ Not recording all business income, including cash payments
⚠️ Claiming personal expenses as business expenses
⚠️ Claiming GST credits incorrectly
⚠️ Mixing business and personal spending
⚠️ Missing receipts or incomplete financial records

𝗜’𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 & 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁, and I help small business owners make sure their bookkeeping, BAS and tax records accurately reflect their business.

A few simple habits can make a big difference:

✅ Record all business income, including cash
✅ Keep business and personal spending separate
✅ Only claim legitimate business expenses and GST credits
✅ Keep receipts, invoices and supporting records organised
✅ Reconcile your accounts regularly rather than leaving everything until tax time

Good bookkeeping gives you more than organised records — it gives you a clearer picture of how your business is actually performing and makes BAS and tax time much easier.

If you’re not completely confident your business records are accurate, or things have become a little messy over time, it’s much better to get them checked and sorted now.

You started your business to do what you’re good at — probably not to spend nights sorting receipts, reconciling accounts, checking payroll and worrying about the next BAS.

But when the paperwork starts falling behind, it has a habit of following you everywhere.

𝗜’𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 & 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁, and I help local small business owners get the financial side of their business organised and keep it that way.

I work with tradies, truckies, contractors, café owners and other small businesses with:

✅ Bookkeeping and bank reconciliations
✅ BAS preparation and lodgement
✅ Payroll and STP management
✅ Tax returns and reporting
✅ Cash flow and business support

Whether your books are already behind or you’re simply spending far too much of your own time keeping them up to date, you don’t have to keep doing it all yourself.

Good bookkeeping means knowing where your business stands, having the information you need when you need it, and getting your evenings back.

If the paperwork is becoming another full-time job, let’s get it sorted.
