😅Phew! We are thoroughly exhausted from reviewing all the detail in the 2026/27 Federal Budget, which was announced last night. It has been many years since there have been such significant tax changes, it's a doozy with some "winners" and some "losers".

If you are a:

👉worker (employed or sole trader)
👉investment property owner
👉owner of shares, crypto or other investment assets
👉business owner
👉involved in a family trust
..then you need to read our summary of tax changes at the link below!

🔺Reminder that all these changes are subject to legilsation being passed in Parliament, and the devil will be in the detail - yet to come.

🔈Big day in tax.

The Federal Budget has just been handed down, and we know many individuals, families, investors and business owners will have questions about what today’s announcements mean for them. Treasurer Jim Chalmers delivered the 2026–27 Budget tonight, with major tax and policy changes now being unpacked. 

Our team is already reviewing the fine print.

Give us a day to carefully work through the details, understand how the changes may affect our clients, and separate the headlines from the practical realities.

Over the coming days, we’ll provide a clear, comprehensive update with the key tax changes, what they mean, and any action you may need to consider.

For now, sit tight, avoid the panic, and know we’re on it.

🚨ATENTION NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANISATIONS!

Has your P&C, sporting club or other incorporated community group lodged their annual information statement (AIS)? 📝

If your incorporated association is behind in lodging one or more annual information statement (AIS), it is at risk of being de-registered.

Those that are overdue include several sport clubs, school P&C’s, not-for-profits, and volunteer groups in WA.

Check if your association is on the list and find out what you can do: www.consumerprotection.wa.gov.au/announcements/the-commissioner-self-check-your-association-risk-of-being-cancelled

Today we say a heartfelt farewell to Emma, who has been such an integral part of our team for nearly ten years.

For so many of our clients, Emma has been the friendly, welcoming face that greets you the moment you walk through the door. Behind the scenes, she has worked tirelessly to whip our office systems into shape, keeping everything running smoothly.

Emma has been an absolute lifesaver for Brenton and Lee, organising our lives, keeping us on track and somehow managing it all with patience and good humour. And of course, who could forget the many “therapy sessions” she’s provided at the reception desk (tongue firmly in cheek!).

Emma, thank you for your dedication, warmth and the countless ways you’ve supported both our team and our clients. You will be truly missed, we wish you all the best for your next chapter.

✨Exciting news! We have some new team members.

Next time you come into the office, you will probably be greeted by our new admin superstar, Natalie. We welcomed her to the Desborough team last week and she is fitting right in!

Jacinta joined us six months ago now, as a Junior Accountant. She is currently juggling her work here with a part time uni degree, but handling it all with style.

Imogen joined us just prior to Christmas, and is working with us a couple of days a week while she studies full time at uni.

Brenton and Lee have just returned from an intensive three day strategic advisory course in Melbourne, delivered by

The program focused on strengthening our strategic advisory capability and challenging the way we think, ask questions and guide conversations with business owners.

We are looking forward to applying what we have learned to help our clients gain greater clarity, feel more confident in their direction and make decisions that support sustainable growth and long term success. We're excited to embed what we have learned and continue elevating the value we bring to our clients.

Thanks to Brent, Josh, Marli and Adrian for the energy, insight and practical tools. We truly valued the experience.
