Choose to do things differently this financial year. If you find yourself spending nights and weekends invoicing clients, paying your staff and completing BAS statements, it's time to consider engaging the support of our Bookmates.

We don't believe in just "doing the books" - we know the unique power and insight you can gain from not only having a clean set of books, but truly understanding what those numbers mean for your business, and using them as a tool to propel your business into new heights.

With easy to digest reports on cashflow, profits and productivity delivered directly to your inbox, you'll know exactly where you stand, and what your next step should be. Because when your books make sense, so does your business.

Important EOFY Reminder for Business Owners 🚨

To ensure your superannuation contributions are tax-deductible in the 2024–25 financial year, they must be both paid and received by the employee’s super fund by 30 June 2025.

This includes:
💰 Employer contributions for staff
💰 Personal concessional contributions (within the annual cap), if you're considering boosting your own super

Please be aware that processing times can be delayed during this period. If you’re using clearing houses like Xero, it may take up to two weeks from the date of submission for funds to reach the superannuation accounts.

We recommend processing contributions well before the deadline to avoid missing out on deductions due to timing delays.

If you need assistance reviewing your super obligations or lodging payments, our team at Bookmates is here to help you stay compliant and prepared ahead of 30 June.

Australia’s minimum wage will increase by 3.5% from 1 July 2025, bringing the new hourly rate to $24.94, or $948.70 per week (before tax).

If you employ people, you must ensure this update is accurately reflected from July 1. This is also a great opportunity to audit your payroll system and double-check that your employees are being paid correctly, including any applicable allowances.

As a business owner, it’s your responsibility to stay payroll compliant. If you need help reviewing your setup, the team at Bookmates is here to assist.

Many business owners assume that having an accountant means all their financial bases are covered - but that’s not always the case.

In our latest blog, we explore the distinct roles that bookkeepers and accountants play, and why having both on your team can make a measurable difference. From staying on top of cash flow to making more informed decisions, the right financial support system can give you greater visibility, control, and confidence as you grow your business.

Meet Michelle, partner and bookkeeping strategist at Bookmates!

Michelle leads a growing team of bookkeeping professionals, working closely with both clients and the PTP crew to deliver tailored support that makes sense for real businesses - not just spreadsheets.

Michelle’s journey started at PTP all the way back in 2005. She later took a detour to run her family’s electrical business for over a decade, managing everything from staffing to cash flow to compliance. That experience gave her a front-row seat to the challenges business owners face every day. So, when she returned to PTP in 2018, she brought with her not just technical skills, but the kind of lived insight you can’t learn from a book.

At Bookmates, Michelle’s all about making things easier - cutting through the jargon, untangling messy systems, and setting up processes that actually work. She focuses on practical solutions, ongoing training for her team, and making sure clients aren’t just surviving, but scaling. From fixing payroll headaches to helping businesses get a clear view of their numbers, she’s the calm in the chaos.

Michelle believes that when your books make sense, so does your business - and that gives owners the power to grow with confidence (and maybe even leave the office on time for once)!
