Town & Country Bookkeeping

Sometimes it's important to take a time out if you feel you need a little break. Today I took myself to lunch at the Goulburn Workers for a short reset. Shouting out to all those small business owners and their teams putting in the hard yards in the background. Particularly to my team, to whom I am grateful for their commitment 🥰

Your accounts receivable can reveal cash flow issues before they become bigger problems.

Keep an eye on:

Total outstanding invoices
How long customers are taking to pay
Overdue invoices
Customers who regularly pay late
The percentage of your receivables that are past due

Because making the sale is only part of the picture — getting paid on time matters too.

Having a clear accounts receivable process can help you stay on top of outstanding invoices, collect payments sooner and better manage your cash flow.

It's been one month since Payday Super became the new normal.

How has your business adapted?

Use this quick checklist:

✅ Review your payroll and super payment process.

✅ Check that super is being processed with every pay run.

✅ Monitor the impact on your cash flow.

✅ Identify opportunities to improve or automate your payroll processes.

If you're still adjusting to the changes, you're not alone. Many businesses are still fine-tuning their payroll processes.
