It’s the new financial year and the perfect time to look at the last 12 months of business and reflect on what you can improve, replicate or change to make your small business count in 2020. In the spirit of a new financial year, there’s nothing better than a few ‘End of Financial Year (EOFY) Resolutions’ to create good habits for the months ahead.
The end of financial year is the time for lodgements, taxes and all thing ATO related. For the team here at Walker Hill, it’s the frantic time when we push to get what we need done for 30 June. So, when the time comes to relax, we’re more than happy to send out the end of the financial year with a bang… or, this case, a pop.

It’s time to get the record straight on what you need to keep records of.
In the pre-30 June period, we help many businesses prepare by highlighting the key areas that should be thought about, considered and actioned before 30 June to ensure that their business is ready. We’ve found that there are three main areas that businesses should focus on before the end of the financial year to help ensure success in the upcoming one.
With the end of the financial year quickly approaching, you may be thinking about the tax deductions you could be eligible for. Personal super contributions can be one area that you may be able to claim a tax deduction in if you have contributed to your super fund (other than employer paid superannuation).
