"At HTA, I feel..."

When we recently asked our team to finish that sentence, the responses were remarkably consistent.

For us, culture isn't about office perks or buzzwords. It's about creating an environment where people genuinely enjoy coming to work, support one another and have the opportunity to build meaningful careers.

If you're looking for a workplace where you'll be challenged, supported and given room to grow, we'd love to hear from you.

📌Proposed changes to testamentary trusts.

Many of these measures are still proposed and subject to legislation, making it important to understand the latest position before making decisions.

A lot of advice only shows up once a year. We show up for the decisions that shape what's next.

Since 2008, HTA has helped Australians find financial clarity. These days that means a bigger team across Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast, backed by the technology to match.

We look at your whole financial picture, not just one piece of it: business and tax, finance and lending, wealth and investment planning, all working together so your next step feels doable.

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) requirements kicked in on 1 July 2026, and they apply to firms like ours.

If you're setting up a company, trust or SMSF, you might notice a few extra steps this year. We may need to verify your identity, or that of directors, trustees or beneficiaries, before we can get started on certain work. It's a legal requirement now, not just an HTA thing, and it's there to keep everyone's information and transactions safer.

We've broken down what it means for clients, who might need to verify their identity, and how the process works, on our blog. For more information visit: https://hta.com.au/new-aml-ctf-requirements-what-clients-can-expect/

Be honest, do you know exactly where your money goes each month? Or are you working off a rough guess and hoping it holds up?

A cash flow tracker is just a simple way of laying your income and spending out so you can actually see what's happening, rather than piecing it together from memory.

The HTA Wealth Cash Flow Tracker helps you understand your income, see where your money is going, pick up on spending pressure points before they turn into a problem, and plan ahead with some actual confidence.

If you've been meaning to get on top of your finances, this is a genuinely easy place to start.

Why are so many Australians using a mortgage broker to get their home loan? Because it works.
Brokers now settle over 80% of new home loans nationally, a record high (up from 55% back in 2018).

With 130+ lenders out there, a broker compares your options and finds a home loan that actually suits you, without the guesswork.

Payday Super is now in effect. Is your business ready? If you employ staff, there's an important change you need to be aware of.

From 1 July 2026, Australian employers are generally required to ensure super contributions are paid to employees' super funds within seven business days of each payday, replacing the previous quarterly payment cycle.

While it might sound like a simple change, it can have a real impact on payroll processes, cash flow and compliance. There are also increased penalties for employers who don't meet their obligations.

If you haven't reviewed your payroll systems yet, now is a good time.

Need a second opinion? We're helping businesses understand the new Payday Super requirements and make sure their payroll processes are ready.
