Scam aware…

There's a new tax scam doing the rounds online. Here's what it looks like 👇

If you’re being asked by the ATO to click on a 'DocuSign' link to release your tax return – don’t. It's not us.

It’s a scam designed to steal your personal info to:

💰 Commit refund fraud
💰 Access your tax and super details
💰 Sell your identity to organised crime groups

We never use ‘DocuSign’ to finalise tax refunds. If you receive an email like this, here's what you need to do 👇

Interested in getting some marketing advice? Have a chat with Courtney…

Small businesses often drown in a sea of marketing metrics without clear direction.

It's easy to get lost in buzzwords and numbers without aligning them to your actual business goals.

Most businesses run towards high click rates or massive follower counts, forgetting these metrics might not relate to revenue or growth.

Because having 10K followers means nothing if not a single one actually brings in business.

It's knowing the metrics that actually support your long-term goals, be it customer lifetime value or conversion ratios.

Be alert for scams at tax time…

The ATO has reported a surge in scams targeting personally identifiable information (PII), including myGov sign-in credentials, which grant access to ATO accounts and financial information. Last year, birthdates were the most common PII divulged to scammers, but they now seek far more valuable details.

Bookkeepers are vital in helping clients protect their PII. By educating clients on security practices and implementing secure data storage and access controls, bookkeepers can significantly reduce the risk of identity theft.

Stay informed about security threats and provide timely updates to maintain client trust and data integrity.
