🔔 Buckle Up… It’s Nearly July & EOFY Compliance Is Looming!

Today I looked at the rest of June and thought, "Buckle Up… It’s Nearly July & EOFY Compliance Is Looming!"

For those of us in the world of BAS, July and August bring a bevy of compliance dates. And while we’re absolutely ready for 30 June to come and go, there are always a few last-minute surprises that sneak in and need attention.

This is also when we tend to welcome a few new clients — business owners who’ve decided they’ve had enough of juggling everything themselves. And honestly? Fair enough. This isn’t everyone’s zone of genius. We are also Certified Trainers if you know someone who needs Xero training.

But the upside of the July–August sprint? It means September can be our breather — a chance to reset as many of our clients also take breaks. We all need something to look forward to. 🌿

So before you dive headfirst into FY26, let us remind you of something no spreadsheet can measure:

👉 You made it through another year. A messy, unpredictable, inflation-fuelled year that tested every plan you made for 2025–2026.

And you’re still here. Running a business. Paying your team. Hopefully still keeping promises — to your clients, your family, and yourself.

You deserve a moment to breathe and acknowledge that. 👏

Then, when you’ve taken that breath, ask yourself honestly:

🔹 What worked this year?

🔹 What will you never do again?

🔹 What can you improve next time?

🔹 Are you still building the life you hoped this business would give you?

💬 And how can we help you explore those questions?

EOFY is the perfect time to zoom out and reset. To choose what’s coming with you into the new year — and what you’re ready to leave behind.

And while you’re at it, double-check your cashflow.

In an economy that’s bouncing around like a toddler on a trampoline 🎢, cashflow is your safety net. Hold onto it. 💸

Here are a few practical reminders I’m giving every client this week:

🔹 Super is increasing to 12% from 1 July — check your payroll setup

🔹 Award wages are rising — is your pricing still protecting your margins?

🔹 ATO interest is no longer deductible — and they’re charging 11.17%. Pay on time or pay twice.

🔹 Payday Super begins in July 2026 — you have a year to prepare. Start now, or reach out if you'd like support planning early.

And if your brain is buzzing at 2am with “Am I missing something?” — you’re not alone. This is exactly what we’re here for. 🤝

If you want to wrap up FY25 with a clear head and calm plan for FY26, let’s book a session and get you sorted.

Take the pause you need. You’ve done better than you think. 💙
