Sullivan Dewing Chartered Accountants & Business Builders

Happy 21st Birthday to our Cadet Accountant, Alex! 🎉

A 21st deserves a little extra celebrating, so we made sure Alex had the full SD treatment with decorations, pressies, cake and plenty of fun around the office. 🎂🎁

Happy Birthday Alex. Wishing you a fabulous year ahead!

A little look at how Australians celebrated Dad last Father’s Day.

From meals out and books to sporting goods and days spent together, the numbers tell a pretty lovely story about how we choose to mark the day. Swipe through for a few of the spending trends that caught our eye.

And from all of us at Sullivan Dewing, Happy Father’s Day to the dads in our team, the dads behind our team, and all the dads and father figures in our community. We hope you have a wonderful weekend. 💙

REMINDER ‼️ Super contribution caps have increased from 1 July 2026.

While the higher caps may create planning opportunities, the rules depend on your total superannuation balance, previous contributions and whether carry forward or bring forward rules may apply.

We’ve outlined the key changes in this carousel and on the SD blog https://www.sullivandewing.com.au/post/superannuation-contribution-caps-to-increase-from-1-july-2026.

If you would like to understand how superannuation contributions may reduce your current and future tax bill, please reach out to your Client Manager.

Good accounting should do more than tell you what happened last year.

For business owners, the real value is in using the numbers to make better decisions about what comes next.

That might mean improving profitability, reviewing your structure, protecting assets, planning for growth or thinking ahead to an eventual exit.

At Sullivan Dewing, those conversations are shaped around your personal and professional goals, with a Client Manager who knows your business and works with you throughout the year.

That’s what business building looks like at Sullivan Dewing. 🙌
