Xero | Payroll | BAS | Cashflow — based in Perth, WA

Hate to be the one to say it on a Friday… but your Q3 BAS is due Tuesday. 👀

If you lodge through a registered BAS agent, you've got until 26 May. That's this Tuesday.

If you've been lodging your own BAS, your deadline was actually 28 April. Missed it? Call the ATO today — don't wait.

The ATO is not going to send you a reminder. That's literally why I'm here. 😅

Follow along so deadlines never catch you off guard. 👇

The ATO has flagged poor record keeping as one of the biggest issues they're seeing in small business right now. And if you're still running on a shoebox system, now's a good time to change that.

Record keeping isn't just about having receipts. It's about having the right information — in the right format — when someone asks for it.

Here's what the ATO expects you to keep: bank statements and financial records, invoices and proof of purchases, payroll and employee records, and GST documentation. All of it, for five years.

The problem with paper-based systems is that they fail at exactly the wrong moment. Receipts fade. Things get lost. And when the ATO comes asking, "I think I have that somewhere" isn't the answer they're looking for.

The fix isn't complicated. It's just a habit — and the right software to support it. Xero connects directly to your bank, matches transactions, and keeps everything in one place. The records are there when you need them, without the frantic searching.

Clean records also mean you're not missing deductions. Every business expense that's properly recorded is a deduction you can claim. The shoebox system loses those.

If you want to get your Xero set up properly — or get your records cleaned up — send me a message. It's simpler than you think.

Still keeping your receipts in a shoebox? The ATO noticed.

They're not just talking about it in theory. The ATO has specifically called out poor record keeping as one of the biggest issues they're seeing in small business right now.

And it's not just about having receipts. It's about having the right records — in the right format — when they ask for them.

Missing or incomplete records don't just cause headaches at tax time. They can cost you deductions. They can flag your account for a closer look. And they make every BAS season way harder than it needs to be.

The good news? Getting your records right isn't complicated. It just needs a system.

Most business owners aren’t actually “bad with money.”

They’re just running their business without clear financial visibility.

So the cycle becomes:
- money comes in
- bills get paid
- BAS rolls around
- stress hits
- repeat

Because your bank balance alone doesn’t tell you:
- what belongs to GST
- what’s committed already
- what’s actually profit
- whether the business is truly performing

That’s where good bookkeeping changes everything.

Less guessing.
Less chaos.
Better decisions.

Your bookkeeper or accountant says these words constantly — and most people have never had anyone explain what they actually mean.

Cash flow. Accounts receivable. GST payable.

Save this for later — your accountant will say one of these to you, I promise.

Follow me because I break this stuff down every week in plain English. ☕

Most business owners don’t actually need more spreadsheets.

They need clarity.

Clarity on cashflow.
Clarity on profit.
Clarity on where the money is actually going.

That’s the difference between bookkeeping as admin… and bookkeeping that helps a business grow.

This is the direction I’m building Books by Auri into.

From the outside, most businesses at this level look like they’re doing well.

There’s work coming in.
Money’s moving.
Things are busy.

But behind the scenes, it’s often:
– Books that are behind
– Payroll that’s just getting done each week
– BAS that’s unclear until the last minute

So even though the business is growing…
it doesn’t feel under control.

And that’s usually the point where something needs to change.

Because it’s not about working harder—
it’s about having the right structure behind it.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not the only one.

Most business owners don’t have a revenue problem…
they have a backend problem.

The money is coming in but it’s inconsistent, unclear, and heavier than it should be.

Cashflow feels unpredictable.
Payroll and compliance sit in the background.
Admin never really switches off.
And it all ends up sitting with you.

That’s the part we step into.

Not just to “do the books” but to bring structure, clarity, and control back into your business
so it actually runs properly — without everything relying on you.

I work with a small number of clients at a time
so the support stays proactive, detailed, and genuinely hands-on.

If your business is at the stage where it should feel easier… but doesn’t.

Message me — we’ll sort it properly.
