⭐️ Friendly reminder from the ATO ⭐️

Bank statements are not enough on their own to support a deduction.
To help keep your records compliant, make sure you keep receipts and invoices.

Good record keeping now can save you stress, time and money later. If you need help getting your bookkeeping organised, we’re here to help!

👋 Does 28 January sound familiar?

It’s the date employers need to make sure super contributions reach their eligible workers super funds by.

To meet this deadline, you’ll need to make payments early enough to allow for processing times.

Thinking of starting a business this year? Start with a self-review to make sure you're ready:

✅ Skills: financials, marketing, leadership. Do you have the toolkit to run a business?

💡 Idea validation: Is there real demand? Is it viable? How will you stand out?

💰 Funding and income: Have you calculated start-up and ongoing costs? Can you support yourself until the income flows?

🔄 Lifestyle impact: Are you ready for long hours and swings in work-life balance?

💪 Resilience: Can you stay motivated when times get tough and the payoff isn't immediate?

If you’re not fully ready yet, that’s okay too. You can sharpen your skills, test out your idea, or revisit the plan when the time’s right.

Spring is the perfect time to give your business a fresh start! A business spring-clean can boost focus, growth and productivity. 🌷🩷

Here are 5 ways to clean up your business:

💵 Take a look at how cash flows through your business to see how you're performing and know what you need to adjust.
🍃 Streamline your environmental practices to remove unnecessary waste and potentially save time, money and reduce your carbon footprint.
💻 Examine your inventory to see what's selling and what's not.
📚 Invest in your people. Look at the skills you have within your team and identify any gaps that could be filled by training or mentoring.
📱 Tidy up your digital channels - website, social media and mailing lists.

Which one will you start with?
