First Class Accounts - Leichhardt Give us your books and we will give you back your life. That's where I come in.

My passion is helping small businesses by ensuring their financial records are accurate, up to date and compliant with regulations. I understand that running a small business comes with a lot of responsibilities, and managing your finances shouldn't be a burden.

October starts today, and your Q1 BAS is due on one of three dates: 28 October, 11 November or 25 November.

Which one depends on how you lodge. Through a registered BAS agent it is the latest of the three, but the agent has to be engaged before they can lodge for you.

If you would rather have 25 November than a scramble in October, now is when that gets decided.

Message me and we will sort it before the quarter closes.

Payroll is the part of the books where errors cost the most and surface the latest.

Wrong award rates, late super, incorrect reporting. None of it announces itself at the time.

I take payroll off your plate and keep it compliant. Message me.

Paying a spouse, a child or another family member through payroll? They are a closely held payee, and they have their own reporting deadline.

If you have both closely held payees and regular employees, the STP end of year finalisation for those payees is due 30 September.

It is one of the least known obligations in the calendar, and it applies to a lot of family run businesses without them realising.

Not sure whether it applies to you? Message me and I will tell you in five minutes.

The July to September quarter closes on Wednesday.

Two things land on 30 September:

The quarter your next BAS covers ends
STP end of year finalisation is due for closely held payees, which means anyone paying family members through payroll

After Wednesday, the figures are what they are. Anything not recorded by then gets fixed the hard way.

Message me if you want it clean before it closes.

If 28 October is still in the calendar as the day super gets paid, that date is gone.

Payday Super started on 1 July 2026. The final quarterly payment was the June quarter, due 28 July.

Super now has to be received in your employees super accounts within 7 business days of each payday. Received by the fund, not sent by you.

Every pay run has its own deadline. There is no quarter end to catch up at.

I set payroll up so this happens on time, every run. Message me.

Seven business days is tighter than it sounds.

The clock starts on payday, not when you press send
It stops when the fund receives the money, not when it leaves your account
A clearing house sits in the middle and takes time
Weekends and public holidays are not business days
If you pay weekly or fortnightly, this repeats constantly

Message me if you are not confident the timing works.

What an accountant needs at lodgement, and what slows the job down:

Accounts reconciled to 30 June
Expenses coded consistently
Payroll finalised and super reconciled
Loans, drawings and owner payments clearly identified
Records ready for anything unusual, before they have to ask

The tidier it arrives, the less it costs you.

Message me and I will get it ready.

31 October is the deadline to lodge your own tax return. In 2026 it falls on a Saturday, so the first business day after is Monday 2 November.

If you would rather an accountant lodged it, the ATO says to contact them before 31 October to be part of their lodgment program.

Either way it starts with records your accountant can work from.

I get those ready. Message me.

Lodged on time, every quarter, without errors. That is what BAS looks like for my clients.

No scrambling for missing transactions. No guessing on GST. No last minute panic.

If BAS is something you would rather hand off, message me.
