Occupational hazard of tax season? ⚠️ If you’ve called this week and wondered why I sound like I’ve been yelling at a footy grand final… don’t worry, it’s just tax season.
Some people get sore feet.
Some get screen headaches.
Maybe a paper cut.
Me? I lose my voice.

After lots of calls, meetings and parenting; my voice has clocked off before I have. I’m still here, still working, just whispering and sending text messages instead of calling.

I’d love to hear what is your industry’s occupational hazard?
Tell me in the comments!

Tax return season is here 🎉 Before you rush to lodge, take a few minutes to make sure you have all the information you need.

From work-related deductions to investment income and working-from-home claims, getting your return right the first time can save you from unnecessary amendments and ATO headaches later.

Why is your accountant asking for more information? 🔍

Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws are expanding and accountants have new legal obligations.
That means you may be asked to provide:
✔️ Photo identification
✔️ Information about your business or ownership structure
✔️ Additional details to verify certain transactions

While these requests may be new, they’re designed to help protect Australia’s financial system and combat financial crime.

Have a question about the new AML requirements? Drop it in the comments or send us a DM or Book a Chat.

My mate said I can claim it… 🙄 the words that make accountants roll their eyes every tax season.

Tax deductions aren’t determined by what someone else claims. They’re determined by your specific circumstances and the tax law.

Before relying on advice from friends, family, social media or the bloke at the weekend BBQ, make sure you understand how the rules apply to you.

What’s the wildest “my mate said I can claim it” story you’ve heard?

📢 Minimum Award Rates Are Changing
From 1 July 2026, minimum award wages are set to increase following the Fair Work Commission’s annual wage review.

While the headlines often focus on the percentage increase, the real impact for employers is ensuring payroll systems, employment agreements, award classifications and budgeting are updated correctly.

If you employ staff, now is the time to review:
➡️ Award coverage and classifications
➡️ Payroll settings
➡️ Employment contracts
➡️ Budget forecasts and cash flow

Getting it wrong can lead to underpayments, penalties and costly corrections down the track.

Swipe through for a breakdown of what you need to know, and if you’re unsure how these changes affect your business, reach out to chat.

Budget announcements ≠ legislation ➡️ Let’s break it down.
While the 2026/27 Federal Budget contained a range of proposed tax and business measures, only a small number have actually been legislated at this stage. Until legislation is passed through Parliament, many of the announced changes remain proposals only.

Parliament is scheduled to sit again in June and I’ll be watching closely to see which measures progress, change or fail to pass altogether.

Before making financial decisions based on budget announcements, it’s important to seek advice from an Advisor. I am always up for a chat (no surprises there 😂).

Remember, the best strategy is having trusted Advisors in your circle.

The truth bomb 💣
I went off to University in an old second hand car, with a dream and Youth Allowance. I lived week to week.

If I could tell that 18 year old girl, what life would look like at 40, she would never believe me.

It wasn’t a straight line. There were mistakes, setbacks, and moments I questioned everything. But every step taught me something that got me here.
