Getting to know Payday Super

Know your 7-day window Every time you run payroll, your employees' super needs to reach their fund within 7 business days. For most standard pay runs that's fairly simple, but out-of-cycle payments — think bonus runs, back-pay, or one-off adjustments — have their own timing rules under the ATO's guidance. It pays to map out exactly when your money leaves your account, clears your bank, and lands in the fund, rather than assuming it all happens instantly....

End of Financial Year 2025–26

And just like that, another financial year is almost done. Whether it's flown by or felt like the longest 12 months of your life, 30 June has a way of sneaking up on everyone — and it's worth taking a moment before it arrives to make sure you're not leaving anything on the table. Think super contributions (the concessional cap is $30,000 this year), any business expenses you've been meaning to action, and if you're an employer, checking that your super obligations are squared away before the quarter deadline hits on 28 July....

Reading the Budget Like an Accountant: What the Numbers Mean for You

Two weeks have passed since the Federal Budget, and the initial headlines have settled. Now it's time to look a little deeper — past the announcements and into what the measures actually mean in practical terms for individuals and business owners heading into EOFY and the new financial year. One of the most consistent patterns in Budget reporting is that announcements are covered as facts before they're legislated....
