💛 In our clients' words.

We could tell you what it's like to work with the Diverse team, but honestly, our clients say it better.

This month we've been completely floored by the feedback we've received about our team. So we wanted to share just some of it with you. 👇

From "magic bookkeeping talents" to "the patience of a saint," to a client who can finally take a holiday knowing everything's handled, these words mean the world to us.

Because here's what we believe: great bookkeeping isn't just about accurate numbers (though that part matters too 😉). It's about clear communication, genuine care, and being a reliable, calming presence for the businesses we support.

To every client who took the time to share kind words about our team, thank you. You've made us all a little teary, and a lot proud. 🥹

And to Amanda, Arina, Rowena, and every team member working hard behind the scenes, this is all you. 💛

Three awards. Three extraordinary people. One very proud team. 💛

Our annual retreat on the Sunshine Coast wrapped up the way all good retreats should, with the Diverse Awards Night, back for its second year. An evening dedicated to the people whose work quietly makes everything else possible.

🏆 Bookkeeper of the Year — Melita De Leo. Exceptional skill, a consistent sense of care, and a habit of going above and beyond no matter what.

🌟 Client Connection Champion — Liz Weldon. The bookkeeper clients simply love. Calm, solutions-focused, and always in your corner.

💡 Innovation Initiator — Amanda Locke. Always finding a better way — and making bookkeeping feel genuinely stress-free for her clients.

The best part?

Every one of these awards was built on words from our clients. To everyone who took the time to nominate, thank you. They meant more to our team than you know.

It's never just about numbers. It's about showing up. Every client, every pay run, every day.

💪 Some projects businesses put off for years. We're the team that finally gets them done.

Right now, we're guiding a client through a significant migration between accounting software platforms, the kind of project that's easy to keep pushing down the to-do list.

And it's a big one:
🔹 80 employees to move across
🔹 Hundreds of supplier and customer records to migrate
🔹 Years of history this business had been meaning to tackle

It's a daunting job, which is exactly why it had been put off for so long. But with the right team and the right plan, "daunting" becomes "doable."

Here's how we're approaching it:

✅ Breaking it into stages — no overwhelming all-at-once switch
✅ The right team in place — experienced hands across every part of the move
✅ Careful, methodical ex*****on — because accuracy isn't optional with data this important

This is the kind of work that doesn't always show up on the surface, but it's exactly where an experienced bookkeeping team earns its place. A migration done well sets a business up for years; a migration done poorly creates problems for just as long.

For this client, it's a long-overdue step finally being taken with confidence. 💛

Got a project you've been putting off? Sometimes the hardest part is simply starting, with the right people beside you.

EOFY myths: BUSTED

End of Financial Year comes with a lot of assumptions, and some of them quietly cost business owners time, money or stress. Let's clear a few up. 👇

❌ Myth: "EOFY is my accountant's job, not mine."
✅ Reality: The work you (and your bookkeeper) do before 30 June shapes everything your accountant can do after it. Clean, reconciled books mean better advice and fewer surprises.

❌ Myth: "I'll sort it all out in July."
✅ Reality: Once 30 June passes, your numbers are locked in. July is for lodging — June is for fixing. Some opportunities simply aren't available after year-end.

❌ Myth: "Super can be paid whenever, as long as it's close."
✅ Reality: Super needs to be received by the employee's fund before 30 June to be deductible this financial year — not just sent. Timing matters.

❌ Myth: "EOFY is just about tax."
✅ Reality: It's also one of the best moments to review your numbers, your systems and your costs — and set up the year ahead properly.

❌ Myth: "My books are probably fine."
✅ Reality: "Probably fine" is where most EOFY headaches begin. A proper review now is what turns "probably" into "definitely."

The businesses that handle EOFY well aren't lucky — they're prepared.

If you'd like a second set of eyes on your books before 30 June, that's exactly what we do. 💛

⏰ Payday Super starts 1 July. Here’s your last-minute checklist.

If you employ staff, the way you pay super is about to change, and 1 July 2026 is almost here.

Run through these 5 quick checks 👇

✅ Payroll software ready? Most platforms support Payday Super, confirm yours is set up correctly.
✅ Off the SBSCH? The Small Business Superannuation Clearing House closes on 30 June. If you use it, you need an alternative in place.
✅ Cash flow sorted? Super becomes a regular outgoing with every pay run, not a quarterly one.
✅ Payment timing? Contributions must reach the employee’s fund within 7 days of payday, allow processing time.
✅ Roles & approvals clear? Make sure nothing sits waiting for sign-off and misses the window.

Ticked every box? You’re in great shape. 🙌

Couldn’t tick them all? There’s still time... but not much. Our team is across every part of this change and can get your business ready before 1 July.

It's tax planning season, and your bookkeeper plays a bigger role than you might think.

Right now, accounting firms across the country are deep in tax planning mode, working with business owners to make smart, informed decisions before 30 June.

But here's the thing: tax planning is only as good as the numbers it's based on.

When your books are current, accurate and reconciled, your accountant can:
✅ See a true picture of your financial position
✅ Model decisions with confidence
✅ Give you advice based on real data — not estimates
✅ Spend their time on strategy, not chasing missing information

That's where we come in.

A big part of our role is making sure your financial data is clean, up to date and ready, so when your accountant needs it, it's there. No scramble, no guesswork, no last-minute surprises.

For businesses that value good tax planning, having a bookkeeper keeping things accurate year-round isn't a nice-to-have — it's what makes the whole process work.

If your books could use a tidy-up before tax planning conversations begin, now's the time. Reach out — we're here to help.

💬 A heads-up about Xero pricing.

Xero has announced that subscription prices are increasing from 1 July 2026.

What's changing:
🔹 Prices are increasing across all Xero business plans in Australia
🔹 The change applies to both new and existing subscribers
🔹 The multi-organisation discount is also being removed from 1 July 2026, worth noting if you run more than one entity on Xero

The exact increase depends on which plan you're on. You can check your current plan anytime under the Subscription section inside your Xero account.

What you need to do:
For most of our clients, nothing right now. We'll be in touch directly if anything specific applies to your account or subscription.

Worth keeping in mind:
The timing lines up with Payday Super starting on 1 July 2026. The upside? Xero now includes payroll and automated super across all business plans, and having auto super running correctly inside Xero genuinely reduces the risk of a missed payment once the new rules begin.

If you have questions about your plan, whether it still suits your business, or how this fits with your EOFY review, just reach out.

Reviewing software costs is a smart EOFY habit, and we're happy to talk it through.

EOFY doesn't have to be stressful... if you start now.

End of Financial Year lands on 30 June, and the difference between a smooth one and a stressful one almost always comes down to preparation.

This carousel walks through 5 things worth doing now 👇

✅ Reconcile every account
💸 Tidy up outstanding invoices
🧾 Check payroll and super are accurate
📁 Get your records and documentation organised
🤝 Talk to your bookkeeper before 30 June, not after

Here's the key thing: once 30 June passes, your numbers are locked in. Getting ahead of it now means there's still time to catch issues, ask questions, and finish the year clean.

And if you'd rather have an expert in your corner? That's exactly what we do. Our team helps businesses close out the financial year accurately, calmly and on time, every year.

Save this checklist, and let's make this EOFY your smoothest yet. 💛

💛 What a couple of months.

We wanted to take a moment to reflect on what's been going on behind the scenes here at Diverse, because it's been a good one.

6 new clients joined us in March and 3 in April 🎉
Welcome to the Diverse family, we're so glad you're here.

An "absolute angel" ✨
In April, we had the chance to speak with a handful of Bec's clients, and they all had something wonderful to say about her. One client described her as an "absolute angel". 💛

Existing clients, bigger visions 📈
We've also seen an increase in existing clients establishing additional entities in April. Businesses thinking strategically, seeking advice on their structure, and implementing plans that support their long-term vision. We're so grateful to be trusted with these next steps.

That's the thing about this work, it's never just about the books. It's about the relationships, the trust, and being part of the decisions that shape the businesses we support.

To every new client, every long-standing one, and every beautiful team member making it all happen (looking at you, Bec 👋), thank you.

Here's to what's next.
