At Beam Bookkeeping, technology plays a key role in how we support our clients remotely while maintaining strong communication, visibility and control.

We use cloud-based bookkeeping systems, shared workflows and regular communication channels to help ensure everyone has access to the information they need, when they need it.

This means our clients are not left wondering where things are up to. Information can be shared securely and your accountant can receive the data they need in a clear and consistent way.

Our remote bookkeeping team works as an extension of your business, using technology to stay connected, organised and accountable.
That’s what a modern bookkeeping partnership should look like.

ATO Small Business Super Clearing House closing from 30 June 2026

The ATO Small Business Super Clearing House can no longer be used after 30 June 2026 to pay employee super.

If you do not have an alternative in place, you need to take immediate action.
Using a super clearing house in the software you process your payroll is preferable, as it can streamline the process, minimise delays and reduce opportunities for human error.

Xero customers: June 2026 super cut-off deadline
Xero has released its June 2026 superannuation cut-off deadline.
To allow enough time for payments to reach employee super funds by 30 June, Xero customers must submit and pay super by:
2pm AEST, Wednesday 24 June 2026
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.
As we are required to use clearing houses to pay super this means bringing forward this payment to ensure the clearing house has sufficient time to make this happen.
This also applies if you want to maximise how much is contributed for you individually for that financial year. There are limits to what can be contributed for an individual annually. Exceeding your maximum allowable contribution can lead to increased tax being incurred. It is therefore highly recommended that you speak to your Accountant/Financial Adviser to seek advice on how much additional super you are able to contribute to avoid any additional tax.
If you are using an alternative clearing house we suggest you check their processing cut-off date now to avoid disappointment.
Need help preparing your super payment in Xero? Beam Bookkeeping is here to support you.

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!

What a joy it was to spend the day with inspiring women and raising funds for Lifeline

It was a wonderful afternoon at the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, bringing together local businesses and the community for meaningful conversations around wellbeing, connection and supporting women in business.

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!
