It’s only February, but it feels like ages since the Christmas break when we last recharged our batteries 🔋
Aussies are entitled to 4 weeks annual leave each year – we must remember to take it!
And we need to encourage our staff to take theirs too.
Not convinced? Leave entitlements are expensive to payout if you let it build up too much
The portal has now opened
Applications close on 31st March 2022
The process will be similar to the JobSaver or Micro Business Grant programs from last year.
Supporting evidence requirements may be more onerous than the previous support programs.
We’ve made lots of friends, we call them clients!
We work really closely with our clients, so we need to be friendly to do our best work.
We’ll celebrate your highs, support you when times aren’t so good – like a best friend we will keep your secrets close and have your back with the tax office.
Are you looking for a new business friend?
We hope you’ve enjoyed your summer holidays, but now its well and truly back to work!
We are beavering away on your BAS lodgment, please respond to our questions promptly.
We need all data required by the end of this week.
We need to lodge your BAS by 28th February or you risk being fined by the ATO.
(you will be able to make a payment arrangement with the ATO after lodgement if you are having cashflow issues)
Are there tasks in running your business that you find torturous?
Many small business owners didn’t realise running their own business would involve so much crushing admin
What is the safe word to make the torture stop?
A BAS agent can release you from your bonds, remove the mask, listen to you and lighten the compliance burden.
Put some money aside and if you’re one of our clients, keep an eye out for the IAS for you to e-sign – its due on Monday 21st February.
Don’t get fined for late lodgement!
(you will be able to make a payment arrangement with the ATO after lodgement if you are having cashflow issues)
We’re hosting our first 2022 ABN Coffee Club meeting for bookkeepers next Monday – all bookkeepers are welcome to come along and join in the (face to face) discussion.

What should you do now?
Get your records up to date so you are ready to pounce to get vital cash in the door as soon as you can. And let your expert know that you may need some assistance to test and apply.
We are responsible data custodians, but you, our client, are the data owner.
What steps do we take to carefully handle your private data?
As we ready ourselves for Back to School (yay!),
now is a good time to check you’ve recorded leave taken for all of your employees over the summer holidays
Up to date leave records are important for you and your team
– they will want to know how much leave they have available to plan for the next holiday,
and you need to know what potential liabilities you have
