We’re proud to continue our longstanding connection with the Type 1 Diabetes Family Centre and the incredible work they do to support families living with Type 1 diabetes.

For many years, AMD has proudly supported the Flametree Wines Luncheon, and we were pleased to come together again in 2026 to support this important cause.

Our connection with the Centre extends well beyond the luncheon. We’re proud to work alongside the organisation as a bookkeeping client, while one of our very own AMD Director Maria Cavallo also serves as Company Secretary and Director of the Centre.

We’re also proud of our connection with Flametree Wines and Rob Towner, valued AMD clients, with Rob also serving as Board Chair of the Type 1 Diabetes Family Centre.

It’s a privilege to support an organisation making such a meaningful difference in our community, and we look forward to continuing our support for the Centre and the families it serves.

Red flags your accountant is judging you for..

(We love you. We're just saying.)

🚩 A shoebox. Full of receipts. From 2022.
🚩 Using your personal account for everything and calling it "fine"
🚩 "I haven't lodged in a couple of years but it should be pretty simple"
🚩 Rounding every single figure to the nearest hundred
🚩 "My mate said I can claim that"
🚩 Sending through documents at 4:58pm on a Friday

Be honest, how many of these are you guilty of? No judgement. (A little judgement 😉)

🚗 A new addition to the AMD fleet!

Our team gets around quite a bit, with the AMD footprint stretching from Geraldton through to Albany, and across to Mandurah, Donnybrook, Perth, Bunbury and Margaret River.

So, we’re pretty happy to welcome a new (and third branded) vehicle to the fleet and get it out on the road servicing our clients and communities across WA.

A big thank you to the team at Bunbury Subaru and Subaru Australia for their support, and to Aaron and the team at Astral Signs who have now completed the signage across all of our AMD vehicles. We think they’ve done a great job!

You’ll be seeing this one out and about soon 👋

Their argument? Experience is their edge, and it's hard to beat. Have a look at the faces behind that experience, and tell us, do they get your vote?

Can I claim that?
If we had a dollar for every time someone asked us this, we'd have a very interesting tax return.

A couple of things worth knowing:

✅ You can't claim something just because it came out of your business account. And you can't claim the full cost of something you use personally half the time.
✅ If you're not sure, the answer isn't to guess, it's to ask.

Drop your question in the comments or get in touch with the AMD team.

We filmed what a normal Tuesday looked like. Nothing special, just the team doing what they do.

Spoiler: there was a lot of laughing.

Most business owners think about finance when they need it. The problem is, that's usually the worst time to apply.

Lenders aren't just looking at your revenue. They want to see clean financials, a clear picture of your cash flow, manageable debt levels, and evidence that your business can service a loan, not just survive one.
Getting "finance ready" isn't something you do in a week. It's built over time, with the right structure and records in place well before you pick up the phone.

If growth is on the horizon, it's worth having a conversation now, not when the opportunity is already in front of you.

Margaret River isn't sitting this one out! They reckon their backing of the community is what'll win them the title of best AMD branch. 🏆
This week we're shouting out the team down in Margaret River, meet the people behind the name, and tell us, do they get your vote?

Test your tax knowledge with two truths and a lie. No Googling! Can you spot which one's the lie?

The ATO already has your bank interest, employer income, and health fund data before you even lodge.
You can claim up to $150 in laundry costs for a work uniform, no receipts needed.
Cash-in-hand income under $10,000 doesn't need to be declared.

How well do you know your stuff?

Most people assume a late tax return means a slap on the wrist and a small penalty.

The ATO can issue a Failure to Lodge penalty, which accrues for every 28 days your return is overdue, up to a maximum that varies depending on the size of your business. For larger businesses, that number gets uncomfortable quickly.
There's also the interest angle. If you owe tax and you're late, general interest charge starts adding up from the original due date. The return being late doesn't pause the clock on what you owe.

The other thing people don't always consider: a history of late lodgements can affect how the ATO deals with you down the track. It's not a one-off, it becomes part of your compliance profile.
If you've fallen behind, the best move is to get in touch sooner rather than later.
