💙 Today is World Mental Health Day

It's a timely reminder that looking after our mental wellbeing is just as important as looking after our physical health.

At Beam, we know that work is about more than deadlines and deliverables. It's about people. That's why we're committed to creating a supportive workplace where our team feels connected, valued and comfortable being themselves.

Whether it's taking the time to check in with a colleague, offering a listening ear, encouraging flexibility when it's needed, or simply making space for honest conversations, we believe small acts of support can make a big difference.

Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can say is:

"I'm here if you need me."

Today, and every day, let's continue looking out for one another and fostering a culture where asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

If you or someone you know needs support:

📞 Lifeline: 13 11 14
📞 Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636
📞 13YARN: 13 92 76

If there is an immediate risk of harm, call Triple Zero (000).

We’re very excited to share that Beam Bookkeeping has been named a finalist in the 2026 ICB LUCA Awards for Large Professional Bookkeeping Practice of the Year.

Presented by the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB), the LUCA Awards celebrate excellence across the Australian bookkeeping profession, and we’re proud to have Beam recognised alongside so many outstanding businesses and professionals in our industry.

This recognition reflects the work of our entire team, the relationships we have built with our clients, and our continued focus on delivering practical, reliable and high-quality bookkeeping.

A big thank you to our team and clients who continue to be part of the Beam journey.

We’re looking forward to celebrating with ICB and all the finalists at the 2026 LUCA Awards.

Card surcharges are changing from 1 October 2026.

Businesses will no longer be able to apply surcharges to eftpos, Mastercard and Visa card payments, with American Express amongst others have also announced the removal of surcharging from the same date.

But the changes are about more than just removing the surcharge. The RBA is also reducing some interchange fee caps and increasing transparency around merchant fees, giving businesses a good reason to review what they are actually paying to accept card transactions.

If your business currently surcharges, now is the time to review your merchant fees, payment provider, pricing, invoice templates and payment systems.

We’ve broken down what is changing and what businesses should be doing before October.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Beam Bookkeeping has been named the Winner of Employer of Choice, 21 Employees and Over, at the 2026 Business Hunter Awards.

With more than 300 applications this year, the biggest year yet for the awards, simply being in the room as a finalist was a significant achievement and a reflection of the strength of the Hunter business community. To come away as the winner makes this an incredibly special milestone for Beam.

For us, Employer of Choice is about more than a title. It reflects the culture we continue to build, the opportunities we create for our team, and the commitment our people bring to Beam every day.

Katie, Keeley and Deb were there to proudly represent Beam and accept the award on behalf of the entire team.

A huge thank you to Business NSW, award sponsor Newcastle Permanent and Strike Force Services Pty. Ltd. for supporting and celebrating businesses across our region.
We’d also like to congratulate all of the other award recipients and finalists. It was fantastic to be recognised alongside so many outstanding businesses and organisations from across the Hunter.

As a regional winner, Beam has now progressed to the next stage of the awards program as a finalist in the 2026 State Business Awards.
We’re incredibly proud of how far Beam has come, and even more excited to represent the Hunter region at the state awards.

If you lodge your BAS or IAS monthly, this is your reminder that your 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.

Katie and Keeley recently spent the day at Level Up 2026 conference at 16s Sailing Club.

With a strong focus on self-development, the day explored self-awareness, self-leadership, self-wealth, self-management and self-motivation, bringing together ladies from across the Hunter for a day of learning, reflection and connection.

We had a fun and engaging day thanks to our fabulous table members. Real conversations, a few new dance moves and lots of fresh ideas.

A big thank you to the Gen Collective Committee and AJ Alexandra Joyand everyone involved in putting together such a valuable day.

Xero was in town and Katie was delighted to join the conversation and share some of her experiences from across the bookkeeping and accounting industry at Xero Roadshow in Newcastle, particularly around the shift from being reactive to proactive in the way we support our clients.

For us, being proactive is about more than identifying what needs to be done next. It’s about understanding our clients’ businesses, communicating early, anticipating challenges and building relationships where clients know they can rely on us as part of their wider advisory team.

Katie also shared her perspective on the importance of strong relationships across our industry. The connections we build with accountants, advisers, software partners and other industry associates allow us to collaborate, share knowledge and ultimately deliver better outcomes for our clients.

A big thank you to the Xero team for the opportunity to contribute and for another fantastic Newcastle event. Always valuable to connect, learn and share ideas with others in our industry.

Today is R U OK? Day, a national reminder to check in with the people around us and ask a simple but meaningful question: “Are you OK?”

At Beam, we believe a genuine conversation can make a real difference. Whether it is a teammate, client, friend or family member, taking the time to ask, listen and follow up can help someone feel seen and supported.

You do not need to have all the answers. You just need to care enough to start the conversation.

The four steps are simple:

• Ask R U OK?
• Listen with an open mind
• Encourage action
• Check in again

Let’s help create workplaces and communities where it is safe to be honest, support is close by, and no one feels they have to manage difficult times alone.
