Seeing a lot of small business owners announce their new business partner this week.

Meanwhile over at **The Scatterbrained Accountant™**, we interviewed a job applicant named Anthony for a position within our small business.

Unfortunately after the interview process, we’ve decided not to proceed with the application.

Key concerns identified included:

◆ Appears unaware that many small business owners already carry significantly more financial risk than employees, without guaranteed wages, annual leave, sick leave, or job security

◆ Appears to believe every trust distribution is going to a cigar-smoking billionaire on a yacht instead of Brett and Kylie who own a tyre shop and still argue about whether Uber Eats is financially responsible

◆ Appears to believe all investors are wealthy elites rather than a 22-year-old uni student proudly owning $480 worth of ETFs and checking CommSec 14 times a day

◆ Demonstrated no practical understanding of payroll stress, cashflow management, unpaid overtime, BAS deadlines, or the emotional experience of hearing your accountant say “it’s fixable” in a slightly concerning tone

◆ Repeatedly used the phrase “fairer system” while giving strong “has never stared at the ceiling at 2am trying to work out how to cover wages during a quiet month” energy

◆ Appears to believe all capital gains belong to top-hat-wearing tycoons swimming through gold coins instead of exhausted Australians trying to avoid eating cat food at retirement age

◆ Confident presentation style. Concerning real-world small business comprehension.

While we appreciate Anthony’s enthusiasm, we feel he may be better suited to theoretical economics rather than the real-world operation of a small business.

We thank him for his time and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
