behind the scenes: key Australian biz statistics

🙌Only a few weeks after the introduction of new laws granting workers the right to disconnect from after-hours communications, the Fair Work Commission is now exploring the possibility of legally entitling employees to flexible work arrangements.

The outcomes of this review will be pretty ground breaking to say the least, serving as recommendations to the federal government for potential legislative changes.

Recent research from the Melbourne Institute reveals that a significant majority of workers (60%) are in favor of having the option to work from home, with many open to hybrid working models. 

While studies indicate that remote work does not affect productivity, it's important for employers to adapt and find innovative ways to facilitate mentoring and foster spontaneous collaboration.

👉I’m a big advocate for flexible working arrangements to support both productivity and work-life balance. I believe it’s a part of being a good leader and creating a common-sense culture in our businesses.

Do you agree?


🤔Does this resonate with you?...

One minute you are this uber confident business woman, knowing exactly what you need to do and the next you’re doubting yourself and questioning EVERYTHING!

Yep, I’ve been there too. But I’ve observed that this only happens when you step outside your comfort zone, learning something new and growing 🌱

That’s why it’s totally normal and healthy to feel imposter syndrome. It’s not a sign of failure but of your growth mindset and openness to new things!

Last month I had the wonderful opportunity to attend an inspiring International Women's Day lunch organised by Danya Gamliel  from The Unconventional CEO alongside a group of incredible women founders. 

The event took place at the charming Entrecote French restaurant in Prahran, VIC. Beyond engaging in enriching conversations, we were also treated to delightful goodie bags. After all, hardworking women in business deserve a touch of pampering now and then.

Getting back to basics

📚There’s no fairytales here 🙅‍♀️

Discovering the story of your business means analysing the data to see where your business really is.

Every business is different but here are 3 common stories I see once I’ve gone over the books…

#knowyournumbers #melbourneaccountant #accountantaustralia


numbers story


When I envision my clients success, it doesn’t conjure up images of them rolling in a bed of money (but wouldn’t it be nice 😄).

No, sometimes it’s when I see my clients gain confidence in their financial literacy, knowing their numbers, their financial story. Knowing the actions they need to take, having the confidence to execute the plan and then get the results.

Growth isn’t just monetary, it’s about mindset as well.

Many of us find it easier to commit to a 6am HIIT workout than to exercise a boundary in our business 😅

But we've already put in the effort to establish these boundaries, so why is enforcing them so difficult?

Because setting and enforcing boundaries can feel uncomfortable, challenging and confrontational. 

Consistently exercising boundaries cultivates respect, trust, and stability in our business relationships 💗 

Remember that boundaries aren't barriers; they're tools that protect and prioritise our time, energy, and resources. 

So, the next time we're tempted to sidestep an uncomfortable conversation about a boundary, let's remember the long-term benefits of doing so and muster the courage to stick to our guns.

I’ve always preached the importance of paying yourself first, especially for female business owners 🙌

It’s too easy to put everything and everyone else before ourselves (it’s something you’ve probably just gotten used to).

But you’ve got to make a change, and finding the willpower to establish this discipline is the first step towards financial empowerment. 

As you consistently implement this practice, it transitions into a habit. Over time, these habits foster consistency in your financial approach. And it's this consistency that paves the way for significant growth in both your personal and business finances. 

💗Remember, investing in yourself is not just an act of self-care but also a strategic move for the sustainable growth of your business.

The Australian Taxation Office is currently calling in income tax 
debts amounting to tens of billions of dollars that were previously deemed ‘uneconomical to pursue’.

These debts, totaling more than $15 billion from approximately 1.8 million entities, primarily individuals, may even increase once interest is factored in. 

For many taxpayers, it has been a 
surprising and unsettling experience to see these old debts resurface, some after more than a decade, accompanied by substantial interest charges 

In a recent report, the Commonwealth Ombudsman and Taxation Ombudsman expressed concerns over the ATO's handling of these long-dormant debts and its treatment of individuals facing 
financial hardship. 

The report emphasised the importance of agencies taking action in a manner that minimises distress to those affected. 

Tax Ombudsman Karen Payne noted an increase in complaints about 
the ATO, including issues related to historical debts and inaccurately overstated amounts.

What are your thoughts on this situation? Is it fair for the ATO to reinstate these debts?
