Sorry... I've been totally M.I.A lately, up to my eyeballs 👀 in end of financial year stuff and social media has been totally put on the backburner! Bad I know!

I keep saying to myself to just do it, do something... anything! As I am noticing people are looking at my page but I haven't been putting anything up, so here I am getting started!!!... making a commitment to myself and my audience to show up more!
Got to start somewhere right!?
As that famous company says
"Just do it!" ✅️

If you hold stock, you need to do a Stocktake for EOFY!

What is a stocktake?
A count of all stock you have on hand, with the cost price of each item, multiplied by the total units. From this, you can tally it all up to give your business a total stock on hand figure.

Why? The stock you’re holding isn’t an expense yet—it’s an asset. By doing a stocktake, your accountant or bookkeeper can adjust the COGS (Cost of goods sold) account accurately, so you know exactly how much profit you have made for the year.

Don't forget to count ALL stock, including stock you have paid for but not yet received. As well as damaged stock and wastage which can be recorded separately.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us!

Did you know there's only 9 weeks until EOFY?
That means its tax planning time! Check out my latest blog post for more info.

Now is a perfect time to think about tax planning for this financial year and the year ahead.

Are you getting prompts from Xero to setup and turn on STP2? (Phase 2 of Single Touch Payroll)

Do you have no idea what to do? Or don’t want to get it wrong since it is reporting directly to the ATO?

Payroll setting can get complicated and things can get messy if you get it wrong! So don't put it off anymore... we can help!

Our STP2 Ready Service will ensure you’re compliant with the Australian Tax Office’s requirement that all employing businesses are enrolled in STP2. We will review and update your current Payroll settings and switch on STP2 for you.

What is STP2? Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 is the next step in the reporting of payroll to the ATO, which disaggregates the reporting of payroll items. The enrolment due date is 31st March 2023 for Xero users so you don't have long to get this sorted!

Getting STP2 prompts in Xero? We will get your Xero Payroll STP STP2 ready with our STP2 Ready service. We will review payroll data, update pay and leave categories and switch you over and enrol in STP2 reporting to the ATO so your business is STP compliant.
