"I'll just pay myself whatever's left over at the end of the month."
Many people feel it’s the smart way to go when running your own business.
But it can mean you end up paying yourself nothing at all because of an unexpected bill or cash flow surprises.
How you pay yourself depends on your business structure, and each one has different rules.
If you're not sure your setup is working for you, let's chat about fixing it.

If the only time you're talking to your accountant is at tax time, you're probably missing out on the part that actually helps you make better decisions.
In my latest blog, I share what that looks like in practice: understanding your numbers, planning ahead instead of reacting, and having someone in your corner for the bigger decisions, not just report on the ones you've already made.

Some things are scarier than others... 😅
Late payments, missing receipts and Xero showing “unreconciled” again all make my list. And yes, cold tea definitely counts too.
What would be in your top five?

There’s always something changing behind the scenes.
New rules, updated requirements and shifting responsibilities can be a lot to keep on top of.
That’s where I come in. I stay across what's changing, work out what it means, and proactively keep my clients informed whenever something affects their business.
It’s one less thing for you to keep track of, so you can stay focused on running your business.

The new financial year is underway, which makes August a good time to see how things are really tracking.
Here are 3 questions worth asking:
🔸 Are you charging enough to actually cover your costs?
🔸 Do you know what you owe the tax office?
🔸 Is money coming in faster than it’s going out?
The answers can tell you a lot about the health of your business and where you may need to focus next.
Need help making sense of it all? Let’s chat.

Your numbers say profitable. Your bank account says otherwise. 💸
It’s one of the most confusing parts of running a business.
Profit and cash aren’t the same. Profit is what’s left on paper after expenses. Cash is what’s actually sitting in your account today. The gap between them often comes down to things like unpaid invoices, loan repayments, or GST you’re holding for the ATO.
Even profitable businesses can feel under pressure when cash flow isn’t being tracked properly.
If you’re not sure how your cash flow is really tracking, let’s take a look together.

“I’ll sort my numbers out when things settle down.”
Sound familiar? I hear this one a lot - but things rarely settle down on their own.
Business owners who make time to check in with their numbers each month tend to feel more confident, more prepared and more in control of what’s happening behind the scenes.
A quick look at your numbers each month can save you a much bigger headache down the track!

Paying staff under an award? This one's worth a closer look.
From 1 July, the National Minimum Wage and award rates increased by 4.75% - and it's not just minimum wage earners affected either; most award rates moved too.
