January is the perfect time to pause, review, and reset ✨

A strong mid year business review isn’t just about the numbers, it’s about clarity, confidence, and making informed decisions for the months ahead.

✔️ Review year to date profit & sales
✔️ Compare budget vs actual results
✔️ Check pricing and profitability
✔️ Set clear, achievable quarterly goals
✔️ Get organised before EOFY sneaks up

If you’re a service or trade business owner and want ongoing support to truly understand your numbers (not just lodge your BAS and tax), this is where real progress starts.

Let’s make the rest of the year work smarter for your business.

If you run a business, staying on top of your tax and super obligations is key and the ATO has announced an important change you’ll want to be ready for.

What’s changing?
From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay superannuation on payday, not quarterly. This is part of the new Payday Super legislation and is designed to make sure workers receive their super faster, but it does mean adjusting how you manage cash flow and payroll.

While it might seem a while away, now is the perfect time to:
✔️ Review your payroll setup
✔️ Understand how the change affects your budgeting
✔️ Plan ahead so you’re not caught off guard

CBW Accounting and Taxation help small business owners across Melbourne make sense of updates like this, so you can focus on running your business with confidence.

💬 If you’re unsure what this means for you or just want a quick chat to get ahead, feel free to reach out.

🚀 Over $250 billion.
That’s how much tech giants are investing into AI

📊 These are not experimental side projects, they’re reshaping entire industries.
AI is not a trend. It’s not “going away.” And it’s certainly not something small businesses can afford to ignore.

If the internet revolutionised how we connect, AI is revolutionising how we think, work, and grow.

💡 Want to understand what this means for your business and how you can stay ahead of the curve, not get left behind?

Let’s chat.

💡Did you know? If you earn over $97,000 for singles or $194,000 for families and don’t have the right private hospital cover you could pay the Medicare levy surcharge, an extra 1% to 1.5% in tax.

The Medicare levy surcharge is in addition to the Medicare levy of 2%.

To avoid it, make sure you and your family are covered by an appropriate hospital policy not just extras. If your spouse or dependants aren’t included you might still get hit with the surcharge even if you’re covered.

Don't forget to pay your employee and personal superannuation by June 30 to claim your tax deduction for the 2025 financial year! Remember to allow time for processing as it must be in the funds account.
