We've seen and heard it all 😬

After 22 years in the industry, very little surprises us anymore. But every tax time, without fail, a few classics make an appearance.

No judgement - we've seen worse. But if any of this sounds familiar, now is a very good time to give us a call.

Tick tock. Here's what should be on your radar before 30 June 📋

📌 Super payments - contributions need to clear by 30 June to claim this financial year's deduction. Don't leave it to the last minute, bank processing takes days.

📌 Instant asset write-off - the $20,000 threshold expires 30 June. The asset must be installed and ready to use by then (ordered doesn't count).

📌 Bad debts - if you have invoices that are genuinely unrecoverable, write them off before 30 June to claim the deduction.

📌 Reconcile your books - every transaction from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026 needs to be recorded and clean before you can lodge anything.

📌 Payday Super starts 1 July - if your payroll system isn't ready, you're already behind.

One month is enough time to get this right. But only if you start now. If any of this feels like a lot, let's talk 📩

We love Dave. Dave is a legend.

But "I reckon you can claim that" is not tax advice and it's definitely not worth the risk when the taxman comes knocking.

The ATO actually called this out directly this year, warning small business owners to stop relying on mates and social media for tax guidance. Because when it goes wrong, Dave's not the one who has to fix it.

Reach out to us for some real advice before you take Dave's word for it.

Something significant is about to change in the way accounting practices across Australia operate and whether you realise it or not, it is going to affect you as a client.

From 1 July 2026, the Australian Government is bringing accountants, lawyers, real estate agents, and other professional services under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws. These professions are known as “gatekeeper professions” because the work they do in setting up companies, structuring trusts, facilitating property transactions. These services can and have been exploited by criminals to disguise the origins of dirty money.

Tony had a chat to afternoon presenter Brent Bultitude on the Super Radio Network this afternoon about what to do for this upcoming tax time.

Tax time is creeping up on us, and if the thought of crumpled receipts, spreadsheets, and endless logs gives you an immediate headache, you are definitely not alone. With June 30 fast approaching, the pressure is firmly on for everyday Aussies and small business owners alike to get their financial h...

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) Changes - Important Changes for how we will work with All Clients

The Australian Government is expanding its Anti-money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/TCF) laws to cover accountants, lawyers, real estate agents and some other professionals. AUSTRAC is the government agency that oversees financial crime prevention and it calls these "Gatekeeper Professions".

From 1 July 2026, these professions will be regulated in the same way banks have been for years. New laws will change the way every accounting practice in Australia works with their clients. It is not complicated, but it is important and understanding what is ahead will help things run smoothly when the time comes.

Ready or not, 30 June waits for no one. If your receipts are in a pile, your super contributions are sitting untouched, and you haven't spoken to your accountant yet... now's the time. 🫣

There's still time to review your deductions, check your business structure is working for you, make sure your BAS is up to date, and get your records in order before the rush hits. A little bit of planning now can save you a lot of stress later.

Don't be the person scrambling at the finish line. Be the person who's already sorted.
