🎉 Celebrating 4 Years of Membership! 🎉

This week we had the pleasure of celebrating Madeline Spann from Rudd Mantell Accountants Rudd Mantell Accountants on her 4-year membership anniversary with BNI Accelerate.

Over the past four years, Maddie has been a valued contributor to our chapter, consistently sharing her expertise, supporting fellow members, and helping business owners gain greater clarity and confidence around their financial future.

As an accountant, Maddie goes far beyond simply preparing tax returns. She helps business owners understand the bigger picture—planning ahead, making informed decisions, managing risk, and creating strategies that support both business growth and personal wealth creation.

Like all successful BNI members, Maddie’s commitment to building genuine relationships and living the philosophy of Givers Gain® has contributed to the strength and success of our chapter community.

Thank you, Maddie, for your ongoing contribution, professionalism, and support over the last four years. We are grateful to have you as part of the BNI Accelerate family and look forward to celebrating many more milestones with you in the years ahead.

Congratulations on your 4-year anniversary! 👏🎊

🕺🎉 Passport to Success… Completed in Style! 🎉🕺

A huge congratulations to Nick Wlodarzk by on completing his BNI Passport to Success journey!

The Passport to Success program is designed to help new members get the very best out of their BNI membership, providing insights into building strong referral relationships, maximising opportunities, and accelerating their success within the chapter.

While most people simply complete the program, Nick appears to have added his own special ingredient… a little bit of dancing his way through it! 🤣💃🕺…

It’s always fantastic to see members investing in their growth and embracing the learning opportunities available through BNI. The members who lean in, get involved, and commit to the process are often the ones who see the greatest results.

Well done, Nick, on reaching this milestone. We look forward to seeing you continue to build connections, strengthen relationships, and make the most of everything BNI Accelerate has to offer.

Congratulations on completing your Passport to Success—and for proving that professional development can come with a few dance moves too! 👏🎊

📊 Tax Planning Isn’t Just About Saving Tax — It’s About Building a Better Future

Last week, our featured speaker was Madeline Spann from Rudd Mantell Accountants Rudd Mantell Accountants, and she challenged us to think differently about tax planning.

One of the biggest takeaways from Maddie’s presentation was that tax planning is no longer a once-a-year exercise. In today’s environment, with increasing ATO data matching, greater business complexity, and more scrutiny than ever before, proactive planning is becoming essential for business owners.

Maddie shared a range of real-life case studies demonstrating how strategic decisions made early can create significant benefits—not just for tax outcomes, but for cash flow, wealth creation, risk management, and long-term business growth.

Some key insights included:

✅ The best tax outcomes usually come from decisions made before they happen, not after.

✅ Growing businesses need to regularly review their structure, strategy, and cash flow planning as complexity increases.

✅ Tax planning should connect business goals, personal goals, and future wealth creation—not just focus on minimising tax.

✅ Many businesses get caught out by waiting until year-end, mixing personal and business finances, or assuming more revenue automatically means more cash in the bank.

One particularly interesting example showed how a strategic superannuation contribution not only reduced a client’s immediate tax bill but also helped build a future retirement asset. Another highlighted how the right structure, implemented correctly, can create significant long-term advantages while remaining compliant.

What stood out most was Maddie’s reminder that great accountants don’t just prepare tax returns—they help business owners make better decisions.

If you know a business owner who is:
📈 Growing rapidly
🚀 Planning expansion
💡 Looking for proactive advice, not just compliance
🎯 Seeking clarity before making major business decisions

then an introduction to Madeline Spann and the team at Rudd Mantell Accountants could be invaluable.

Thank you, Maddie, for an engaging and practical presentation that reminded us that good tax planning supports the whole business—not just the tax return. 👏

Limestone opened in 1993. Dr Gary Migotto set it up because he believed Ipswich families deserved a clinic that took proper care of all of them. Babies, kids, parents, grandparents - all under one roof. Some of the people who come in today were brought in as kids, by parents Dr Gary looked after in the 90s.

In 2021, Dr Steve purchased the clinic in his late friends honour, to continue the service and the hard work Dr Gary put into the community of Ipswich and to help the families this clinic has looked after for 30 years.

The core of Limestone is still the same today as it was in 1993 - everyone properly cared for, by people who plan to be here in another 30 years.
