EOFY doesn't have to be stressful... if you start now.

End of Financial Year lands on 30 June, and the difference between a smooth one and a stressful one almost always comes down to preparation.

This carousel walks through 5 things worth doing now πŸ‘‡

βœ… Reconcile every account
πŸ’Έ Tidy up outstanding invoices
🧾 Check payroll and super are accurate
πŸ“ Get your records and documentation organised
🀝 Talk to your bookkeeper before 30 June, not after

Here's the key thing: once 30 June passes, your numbers are locked in. Getting ahead of it now means there's still time to catch issues, ask questions, and finish the year clean.

And if you'd rather have an expert in your corner? That's exactly what we do. Our team helps businesses close out the financial year accurately, calmly and on time, every year.

Save this checklist, and let's make this EOFY your smoothest yet. πŸ’›

πŸ’› What a couple of months.

We wanted to take a moment to reflect on what's been going on behind the scenes here at Diverse, because it's been a good one.

6 new clients joined us in March and 3 in April πŸŽ‰
Welcome to the Diverse family, we're so glad you're here.

An "absolute angel" ✨
In April, we had the chance to speak with a handful of Bec's clients, and they all had something wonderful to say about her. One client described her as an "absolute angel". πŸ’›

Existing clients, bigger visions πŸ“ˆ
We've also seen an increase in existing clients establishing additional entities in April. Businesses thinking strategically, seeking advice on their structure, and implementing plans that support their long-term vision. We're so grateful to be trusted with these next steps.

That's the thing about this work, it's never just about the books. It's about the relationships, the trust, and being part of the decisions that shape the businesses we support.

To every new client, every long-standing one, and every beautiful team member making it all happen (looking at you, Bec πŸ‘‹), thank you.

Here's to what's next.

πŸ” A quick reminder that could save your business.

Most passwords used by small business owners today can be cracked by a modern computer in under a minute.

The fix is simpler than you think: stop using passwords, and start using passphrases, and always turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA).

πŸ”‘ Passphrases beat passwords
A passphrase is a string of random words (think: velvet-tractor-orange-piano) that's easy for you to remember but near-impossible for a computer to guess. Length beats complexity every time.

πŸ“² MFA is non-negotiable
Multi-factor authentication adds a second layer of security, usually a code sent to your phone or generated by an app. Even if someone gets your password, they can't get in without that second step.

πŸ—οΈ Consider a password manager
A secure password manager takes the mental load off remembering strong, unique logins for every account, and keeps everything safely in one encrypted vault.

These three habits are the simplest, highest-impact cybersecurity upgrades you can make; for your business email, your accounting software, your banking, everything.

Take 15 minutes this week and tighten things up. Your future self (and your business) will thank you.

Behind the scenes at Diverse…

While Payday Super might feel like a July problem, for us it's already a May priority.

Our entire team is deep in the work right now, reviewing systems, refining internal processes, and making sure every single Diverse client is set up for a smooth transition when the new rules kick in on 1 July 2026.

What that looks like on our end:

β†’ Reviewing every client's payroll setup
β†’ Confirming software readiness (hi, Xero πŸ‘‹)
β†’ Transitioning clients off the SBSCH before it closes on 30 June
β†’ Building the cash flow conversations into our regular client catch-ups
β†’ Making sure nothing β€” and no one β€” gets caught out

It's a lot of work quietly happening behind the scenes. But that's the point.

By the time 1 July rolls around, our clients shouldn't feel the shift. They'll just know it's handled.

That's the Diverse difference.

☎️ Got a call claiming to be from the ATO? Now you can check.

Scam calls pretending to be from the ATO are one of the most common tactics used to steal personal and financial information, and they're getting more convincing.

The good news? The ATO app now has a new feature called 'Verify Call' that lets you check whether a phone call claiming to be from the ATO is actually genuine.

How it works:
β†’ Download the ATO app
β†’ Register your device
β†’ Use the 'Verify Call' feature next time you get a call from the ATO

If the call is legit, the app will confirm it. If it's not showing up, treat it as suspicious.

A simple step that gives you real peace of mind, and one worth sharing with clients, family, and team members who might be targets of phone scams.

🎲 Team building, Diverse style.

As a fully remote team, staying connected matters to us! So we plan 5 team building sessions throughout the year to make sure we're laughing, learning, and having fun together (even from opposite ends of the country).

This month's session was board game themed, and it had us in our element:

🧩 Icebreaker β€” sharing stories of the board games we grew up with (cue the laughs and the nostalgia)
πŸ€– AI Board Game Design Challenge β€” each group used AI to design their own bookkeeping-themed board game from scratch, then pitched it to the rest of the team. Equal parts creative, competitive, and chaotic.
🧠 Trivia Quiz β€” a classic games knowledge showdown to finish the day.

Building a remote team culture takes intention, and these sessions are one of the ways we keep ours strong. πŸ’›

πŸ‘‹ Employees, this one's for you.

From 1 July 2026, the way super is paid in Australia is changing, and while there's nothing you need to do, it's worth knowing what to expect.

Instead of super being paid every 3 months, it'll be paid at the same time as your wages, with every pay run. That means smaller amounts arriving more often, and contributions landing in your super fund within 7 days of payday.

This carousel covers:
β†’ What's actually changing (and what isn't)
β†’ What you'll notice in your super account
β†’ How to check things are on track
β†’ What to do if something doesn't look right

Employers - this is designed to be shared. Send it on to your team so they know what to expect from 1 July 2026.

And if you've got questions about Payday Super for your business, we're already deep in the work, reviewing systems and making sure every Diverse client is set up for a smooth transition.

DM us anytime.

πŸŽ‰ Big news.. and a well-earned one.

We're thrilled to share that Kylie Westlake is stepping into a new role with Diverse, moving into Acting Operations Management.

This transition is a reflection of the impact Kylie has had within the business. The way she thinks, the way she leads, and the way she shows up for our team and our clients. It's an exciting step, and one that feels exactly right.

Kylie, we're so proud to see you step into this next chapter. Watch this space. πŸ’›

Please join us in congratulating her! πŸ‘
