PARTNER WEBINAR šŸ¤ Dext

EOFY brings familiar pressures such as chasing documents, managing inconsistencies and staying on top of compliance.

Join ABN Director Kelvin Deer, alongside Glenn Castle, Senior Product Expert of Dext, for a practical session focused on helping you finish the year with cleaner files, fewer compliance risks, and a workflow that scales.

In this session, we’ll cover:
• The most common EOFY bottlenecks and how to prevent them
• Practical ways to collect documents faster and set clearer client expectations
• How to reduce rework and improve consistency across your files
• How AI is being applied in bookkeeping to streamline repetitive tasks while keeping your professional judgement front and centre

We’ll also introduce Dext AI Assist and show how it can support your workflows by learning from your processes, helping automate repetitive tasks while keeping you in control.

You’ll walk away with practical ideas you can apply immediately to set your practice up more effectively for a smoother EOFY.

The ā€œaverageā€ Australian bookkeeper doesn’t exist…

But if they did, they might look a bit like this šŸ‘‡

Running businesses, fixing messes, chasing answers, and somehow holding it all together (usually with caffeine)

Anything else you'd add? šŸ˜…

We’ve been watching the Payday Super conversations closely…

It’s not understanding the rules that’s the issue anymore
it’s actually getting clients ready.

So we’ve been working on something behind the scenes šŸ‘€

Next week, we’re walking through the real-world systems, solutions and workflows you actually need, PLUS a first look at what we’ve built to help.

Let’s be real for a second…

Are you using AI in your bookkeeping practice right now? šŸ‘€

With the TPB’s draft guidance now out, it feels like we’re all sitting in that ā€œhow far is too far?ā€ space.

(you can read all about it here: https://austbook.net/news/tpb-ai-guidance-sparks-debate-is-caution-leaving-practitioners-behind)

Some are embracing it.
Some are avoiding it.
Most are probably somewhere in the middle.

We'd love to know, what are you using AI for in your business (if anything)? And if you're not, is there a reason why?

With only 3 months left before Payday Super takes effect, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) urges employers to act now for this once in a generation change to the way we pay super.

Deputy Commissioner Emma Rosenzweig encourages employers to plan ahead and review their payroll systems and super processes well ahead of 1 July.

ā€˜We want employers to feel prepared heading into 1 July so we’re taking time now to clear up some common myths doing the rounds about Payday Super.’

ā€˜We know there is a lot of information being shared around but we want to make sure employers have the correct information and resources to get ready, and to get it right,’ says Ms Rosenzweig.

You can find more information about each of these Payday Super myths here: https://www.ato.gov.au/media-centre/fact-or-fiction-busting-payday-super-myths
