Running our own charity golf day clearly wasn’t enough golf for one year.

On the weekend we stepped up as major sponsor of the All Saints Anglican School Golf Day, claiming two holes on the course and backing what turned out to be a brilliant event.

It was their most successful golf day yet, and we’ll never pass up a chance to help raise money for the school community.

We can’t promise every ball found the fairway, but every swing went to a good cause.

Fair warning, the sideline commentary in this one is completely unhinged.
 
Our annual pickleball comp took over Gold Coast Racquet Club on Friday, and it’s become one of those days the whole team has circled on the calendar. This year’s theme was famous sporting duos, which meant curly wigs, retro jerseys and some very committed costume choices. Special mention to Jason, whose competitive streak showed up well before the first serve and didn’t ease off all afternoon.
 
Now, you might be wondering what any of this has to do with business. For us, quite a lot. We’re big believers in working hard and rewarding that hard work. Getting away from the desks and having a laugh together is how we recharge as a team, and it never disappoints.
 
Bonus points if you can work out who everyone came as. Let us know in the comments!

We asked him what he had that proved he'd lived in the house. Anything at all.

He sat there for a bit and said: nothing.

Which sounds ridiculous, because he'd lived there for years. But that's exactly how it goes. The bills went paperless. The licence got updated. The mail got redirected. And by the time he came to sell, years after he'd moved out and rented it, there wasn't a single document left that put him in his own home.

It's one of the most common things we see with a former home that's been rented out for a long stretch. And it's worth being clear about what actually goes wrong: you don't lose the exemption. You lose the evidence.

So we sent him back through fifteen years of old inboxes.

What turned up was an email from his mortgage broker. Not a tax document. Not anything he'd have thought to keep. Just a line confirming the loan: dated, written by someone independent, at the time it happened.

That one email, plus a couple of things we sorted before the sale year, came to $173,000. Same house. Same price.

Details changed: this is a pattern we see, not one person's file.

If you've got a house you used to live in and now rent out, go and ask yourself the question we asked him. What have you actually got?

From 1 December, the ATO stops taking credit cards. If your BAS has been riding on your card, the clock is ticking.
Two changes have landing at once, and together they squeeze cash flow:
The surcharge ban started YESTERDAY. You can no longer pass Visa, Mastercard or eftpos fees on to customers, so that 1 to 2% now comes straight out of your margin.
The ATO stops accepting credit cards after 30 November. The 30 to 55 days of interest-free float many owners used to cover BAS goes with it.
If the BAS only got paid because of the credit card, the problem was cash flow all along, not the card.

Welcome to the team, Cameron!

We’re excited to officially introduce Cameron, our newest Accountant at Boutique Business House.

Cameron joins BBH with a diverse background, having spent almost a decade in the disability sector before making the move into accounting. With qualifications in Psychology and Professional Accounting, he brings a strong people-first perspective to the team.

At BBH, Cameron supports across tax returns, compliance, BAS & IAS, bookkeeping, and administration, helping clients feel informed, supported, and confident in their next steps.

What really stands out is Cameron’s approachable nature and practical mindset. His experience in leadership and working closely with people has shaped a calm, client-focused approach that we know will be a valuable asset as he grows in the accounting space.

Originally from Wollongong, Cameron recently made the move to the Gold Coast, something he had always hoped to do, and we’re stoked to have him building his career here with BBH.

For many of our clients, Rhiannon is already a very familiar face around Boutique Business House, and we’re so excited to officially welcome her back from maternity leave!

As one of our Senior Accountants, Rhi works closely with clients across financial statements, tax returns, BAS, bookkeeping support and general business advice. What she loves most about the role is the variety that comes with it and the opportunity to build genuine relationships with the people and businesses she works with.

Rhi’s journey into accounting started in an administrative role at a large accounting firm, where she quickly discovered a passion for the industry and worked her way through to Senior Accountant over the next seven years. She later stepped into an internal accounting role within an ecommerce business, giving her valuable hands-on insight into the day-to-day operations and challenges businesses face behind the scenes.

Known for her process-driven mindset and attention to detail, Rhi is all about creating seamless, efficient systems and making accounting feel clear and easy to understand for clients. Her approach is hands-on, relationship-focused and grounded in really getting to know each client’s business and goals.

Outside of work, life is beautifully busy with her husband and two young boys, aged 3 and 1. Whether it’s family bike rides, park adventures or simply soaking up time together outdoors, family time is where you’ll usually find her.

We’re so happy to have you back, Rhi!

$355,000. Seven years. And the average Australian is living well into their 80s, often their 90s. That's potentially 20 to 30 years of retirement to fund. On $355,000.

ASFA puts a comfortable retirement at $51,000 a year for a single person and $72,000 for a couple. That's not travelling business class and eating at restaurants every night. That's running a car, covering your health costs, seeing your grandkids, going on one decent holiday a year and not lying awake wondering if you can afford the power bill.

The Age Pension sits at around $28,000 a year for a single person. It was designed to stop people from having nothing. It was never designed to actually fund a life.

And yet that's the plan for a significant chunk of Australians right now. Not because they chose it. Because time moved faster than they expected, life cost more than they budgeted for and the gap between where they are and where they need to be just kept quietly growing while they were busy keeping up with everything else.

The people sitting across from us at 58 and 59 having this conversation for the first time aren't people who didn't try. They're people who just never had anyone show them the actual numbers early enough to do something about it.

That's the only difference between being okay in retirement and being genuinely comfortable. Having the right conversation at the right time.

And that time is not when you're about to retire. It's not when the kids finish school. It's not when the mortgage gets a bit more manageable. It's now. Whatever age you are reading this. Because the version of you in retirement is being built right now whether you're paying attention to it or not.

Plant it right and plant it early. The tree you're sitting under at 70 is the one you decided to plant today.

It starts with one conversation. That's genuinely all it takes to go from guessing to knowing.

You just read every single slide and felt called out. And now you're going to close this app, go back to your emails, tell yourself you'll "look into it" and do absolutely nothing. We've seen it a thousand times.

The most dangerous place your business can be right now isn't struggling. It's not even failing. It's fine. Fine is where dreams go to quietly die. Fine is where you keep showing up, keep grinding, keep telling yourself it's all under control while the gap between where you are and where you actually want to be gets wider every single year.

Fine doesn't feel urgent. That's exactly why it's costing you.

The business owners who are actually moving? They made one decision. Not a big dramatic overhaul. Not a risky leap. Just a decision to stop white-knuckling it alone and get the right people around them. That's it.

And here's the thing about Boutique Business House. You don't have to come to us with everything. Maybe right now you just need the accounting sorted. Maybe it's your brand that's bleeding you. Maybe you just need someone who actually understands business to sit across from you and tell you what they see. Start there. Just one thing.

But when you're ready to connect all of it? Accounting, wealth, strategy, creative, all talking to each other, all focused on you? That's when things get really interesting.

We built BBH for the business owner who is done being fine.

The question is whether that's you.
