From 1 July 2026, businesses will need to start paying super that accrues in each pay run on the same day wages are paid.

But there is an important cash flow overlap to consider.
If June quarter super, or a portion of it, has not been paid early, it will still need to be paid by around mid-July to meet the 28 July cut-off date, while Payday Super obligations also begin from 1 July 2026.

Have you assessed the impact this may have on your cash flow?

EOFY is one of the busiest periods of the year for payroll processing, clearing houses, and super funds.

One of the most common EOFY issues businesses face is leaving superannuation payments too late.

If after consulting with your Accountant, you are planning to bring forward payment of your June quarter super to secure a tax deduction in the year ending 30/6/26 please be aware that it must reach the employee’s super fund by 30th June.

Keep an eye out for next week’s content where we explain the negative cash flow impact you need to be aware of in July 26 due to the start of PayDay Super – this impact could be significant enough to cause you to need to take action and plan for it now.

Did you know the word bookkeeping holds a unique place in the English language?

It believed to be the only unhyphenated English word with three consecutive sets of double letters.

Bookkeeping - Three pairs. O, K, & E, one after the other.

The word itself has an interesting history.

Bookkeeping comes from the combination of two much older words: “book”, referring to financial records or ledgers, and “keeping”, meaning to maintain or preserve something carefully. The term began appearing in English in the 16th century, when merchants and traders increasingly relied on written ledgers to record transactions as commerce expanded across Europe. As trade became more structured, so did the way financial records were maintained. Bookkeeping evolved alongside systems such as double-entry accounting, where every transaction is recorded in two places to keep the books balanced. Over time, the combined term “bookkeeping” became the standard way to describe the practice of recording and maintaining financial records.

So next time you write bookkeeping, take a second look. Hidden inside that everyday word is a small piece of language history and one of the quirkiest spelling facts in English.

And to make it a real challenge….....can you think of any other words that are unique in this or another quirky way?

Beam had the absolute pleasure of joining Pro-Torque Engineering & Project Management at the Women’s Wellness Lunch on Friday! We co-sponsored the wellness welcome drink and it was delish!

Events like this are such an important reminder of the value of taking time to connect, reflect and support one another, both personally and professionally.

Thank you to ProTorque for hosting such an inspiring event, and to everyone who attended and helped make the afternoon so special. Over $36.000 raised for Lifeline!

Recently, members of the Beam team attended the Newcastle: The Skills & Science of Happiness workshop with Declan Edwards , also known as “That Happiness Guy”.

The session explored the practical science behind wellbeing, resilience, mindset, and sustainable performance in both life and the workplace.

Our key takeaways are:
• Happiness matters
• Happiness is a skillset
• Happiness spreads by creating positive ripple effects within teams and communities

A big thank you to Declan for delivering such an engaging and insightful session.

If you lodge your BAS or IAS monthly, this is your reminder that your April activity statement is due on the 21st of this month.

A monthly BAS covers GST and PAYG withholding for the previous month, a monthly IAS covers PAYG withholding for the previous month.

Staying on top of monthly compliance lodgements helps keep your numbers clear and avoids last minute stress.

At Beam, we see how much smoother things run when we are assisting clients in this space.

Balanced books support a balanced business and balanced life!
