Vidhi Mody Vidhi Mody the Principal Founder of Pinnacle Advisors, was named among the Top 50 for Rising Star of the Year at this year’s Elite NextGen Top 50, and later found out that she had also made it into the Top 5 finalists.

Vidhi was in Sydney that week working with a new Australian accountancy practice based in Manly, which has come on board to work with Pinnacle Advisors’ Mumbai team as its offshore accounting extension to the Sydney practice.

She missed the Melbourne ceremony, so a business contact collected the certificate on her behalf.

A busy week for the Pinnacle team, with a new Australian practice coming on board alongside this recognition.

The award recognises entrepreneurs aged 18 to 32.

Thank you to Kavita Chabra and the team for the recognition.

Tax time paperwork always seems to multiply the week before you actually need it.

If you're a sole trader or small business owner, a few things are worth pulling together now rather than later. Your income statement (the PAYG summary doesn't exist anymore, this replaced it), any dividend or interest statements, rental summaries if you have an investment property, and receipts for anything you're planning to claim.

We've put the full list together in the carousel above. Worth a save before it's needed.

A set of financial reports can tell you what happened. Analytical tools take that further, spotting trends, comparing periods, flagging unusual movements. But that still isn't the whole picture.

The real question isn't just what changed, it's why, and what it means for what comes next. A tool can flag that margins have fallen. An accountant looks at the business behind the numbers and works out whether that's temporary, expected, or something worth acting on.

If you want an accountant involved in your decisions, not just recording them, that's the difference worth looking for.

The right offshore partner should make your practice easier to run, not harder to manage.

Before you outsource, there are five questions worth asking, and none of them are about price. They're about whether the partnership actually holds up once real client work is running through it. Swipe through for the full list.

July was a special month for our founder, Vidhi Mody, as she returned to Australia, a country that has been an important part of her journey.

Over the course of a few weeks, Vidhi travelled between Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne, moving between policy discussions, business conversations, professional meetings and, just as importantly, time with old friends and family.

The trip included the India Australia Business & Community Alliance (IABCA) Future of Industries Roundtable at Australian Parliament House and the Economic Roadmap Business Reception in Melbourne, along with conversations with professionals working across the India-Australia corridor.

But some of the most memorable moments happened away from the formal events: reconnecting with her first housemates in Sydney, catching up with old friends, meeting new people and sharing conversations over samosas in Harris Park.

She also submitted Pinnacle Advisors' perspectives on the India-Australia corridor through a policy paper to Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

For Vidhi, this was more than a business trip. It was a return to a country that has shaped her, her career and the way she thinks about the relationship between India and Australia.

A short look at her July journey below.

A client who is a sole trader in Australian retail and runs a bespoke t-shirt design company, came to us with 5 years of un-lodged tax returns, and no accounting software used since FY2019.

We reconstructed their full taxable history, including import of all reconciled bank statements, separating all business transactions from personal and director transactions, and determining the actual GST position of the business.

The client’s tax returns from FY2019 to FY2025 were lodged by their local onshore tax accountant, completing the BAS requirements and the remainder of the compliance obligations.

| Melbourne, Australia: Our founder, Vidhi Mody, spoke with ANI following PM Narendra Modi's address the Economic Business Roadmap Reception hosted by Centre for Australia-India Relations.

She discussed how complementary the two economies are, what this moment means for the Indo-Pacific region, and the growing focus on and relationship-building between both governments.

She also shared details of a policy paper Pinnacle Advisors has submitted to Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on CECA recommendations, centred on the idea that individual Indian states can complement specific Australian states across sectors like green energy, education, technology and mobility.

Australia and India, in five numbers: US$4.15 trillion GDP, 1.48 billion people, 6.4% projected growth, 283.46 GW of non-fossil power capacity, and A$54.4 billion in two-way trade with Australia.

That's the scale sitting behind this month's summit announcements, and it goes well beyond trade headlines. Both governments are actively negotiating a deeper trade agreement (CECA), and India's own government data points to education, agriculture, energy, healthcare, infrastructure and more as the sectors this relationship is expected to grow into next.

For any business weighing whether this is the decade to take India or Australia seriously, these numbers aren't a footnote. They're the argument.

We work with businesses figuring out exactly where they fit inside numbers like these. If that's the question you're sitting with, get in touch.
