📢 Payday Super is Coming – Is Your Business Ready?

From 1 July 2026, superannuation will need to be paid and received within 7 business days of each payday, rather than quarterly.

This change is likely to create a few challenges for many businesses:

✅ Payroll processes may need updating
Super payments will need to be aligned with each pay run, requiring more accurate and streamlined payroll procedures.

✅ Cash flow management becomes even more important
With super being paid more frequently, businesses will need to plan ahead and ensure funds are available each payday.

✅ Missed deadlines could be costly
Failure to pay super contributions within 7 business days of payday may result in a Superannuation Guarantee Charge (SGC) and additional penalties.

Now is a good time to review your payroll processes, cash flow forecasting, and super payment procedures before the changes take effect.

As a Registered BAS Agent, I help businesses stay on top of payroll, superannuation, BAS obligations, and business compliance.

📞 Contact Janice at JL Financial Management if you'd like to discuss whether your business is ready for Payday Super.

EOFY is approaching… and Payday Super is not far behind.

From 1 July 2026, Superannuation will need to be paid and received within 7 business days of payday — a major change for many businesses still relying on quarterly super processes.

If your accounts feel behind, messy, or you’re unsure whether everything is compliant, now is a good time to get things back under control before EOFY and Payday Super arrive.

Complimentary Business Review – May 2026

With EOFY approaching and Payday Super starting from 1 July, now is the time to review your business compliance setup.

From that date, superannuation will need to be paid and received within 7 business days of each payday — a significant shift from current quarterly processes.

Another issue I’m increasingly seeing is businesses relying solely on bank feeds through Xero, MYOB, or similar software, without properly reconciling to actual bank statements.

Over time, this can lead to:

❌️ Incorrect bank reconciliations
❌️ Missing or duplicated transactions
❌️ Incorrect GST reporting
❌️ Payroll inconsistencies
❌️ BAS errors
❌️ Loss of clear financial visibility

Bank feeds are a tool — not a substitute for accurate bank reconciliation.

For the month of May, I’m offering a Complimentary Business Review for local business owners.

This includes a high-level review of:

✔ BAS, GST & PAYG setup
✔ Payroll, STP & Super compliance
✔ Bank reconciliation processes
✔ Cashflow visibility
✔ Key compliance risks

👉 You’ll receive a short Compliance Summary with key findings and recommended next steps.

A limited number of review spots are available this month.

If you’d like to ensure everything is set up correctly before these changes take effect, or you have any concerns you’d like to discuss, feel free to get in touch.

ATO pressure is building — and it’s not slowing down.

The ATO has recently introduced new payment plan options to help businesses dealing with rising costs.

But here’s what that really means:
👉 More businesses are falling behind
👉 Cashflow pressure is increasing
👉 Tax debts are building faster than expected

And the ATO knows it.
Yes — they’ll offer payment plans.

But let’s be clear:
❌ A payment plan doesn’t fix the problem
❌ It just delays the pressure

If your business is:
– Behind on BAS
– Struggling to keep up with taxes and super
– Constantly “catching up”

There’s usually a bigger issue:
👉 Lack of financial oversight
👉 Poor cashflow structure
👉 Compliance not being properly managed

And Ultimately:

🚨 The responsibility sits with you as the business owner

This is exactly where we see businesses get into trouble.

✔ Identify issues early
✔ Get your numbers under control
✔ Fix problems before they escalate

👉 If this sounds familiar, send me a message

Most businesses don’t have a major problem.

They have a lot of small things not quite right:
– Accounts not properly reconciled
– Payroll not set up correctly
– BAS being lodged… but not reviewed
– No clear visibility on cashflow

On their own, they don’t seem like much.

But over time:
👉 They compound
👉 They create pressure
👉 They lead to bigger issues

This is where proper financial oversight makes the difference.

✔ Review what’s currently in place
✔ Identify what’s not working
✔ Fix issues properly
✔ Put structure around the numbers

So you’re not constantly:
– Catching up
– Guessing
– Hoping everything is right

👉 You actually know where things stand

🚨 Director risk is real

If your records aren’t correct:
– BAS can be wrong
– Payroll may not be compliant
– Super obligations can be missed

And ultimately: 👉 The director is responsible
Even if someone else is “doing the books”

We’re seeing more businesses caught out because:
– Payroll hasn’t been set up properly
– STP hasn’t been reported correctly
– Accounts aren’t reconciled correctly

This is where proper oversight matters.
✔ Review of your current setup
✔ Identify risks early
✔ Fix issues before they escalate

👉 If this sounds familiar, send me a message

📊 Profitable… but no cash?

This is one of the most common issues we see.

On paper, the business looks fine —
But:
– Bills are piling up
– BAS is due
– There’s no clear picture of what’s actually available

This usually comes down to:
❌ Poor financial visibility
❌ No structured reporting
❌ Lack of oversight

We don’t just “do the books” — we give you control over your numbers so you can make decisions with confidence.

✔ Cashflow visibility
✔ Financial reporting structure
✔ Ongoing compliance oversight
