With the trade industry currently thriving off the boom in the housing market, tradies find themselves busier than ever. As technology becomes more integrated into everyday life and business, the trade industry still remains outdated when it comes to digital processes. When asked what is holding your business back, most tradies say the same thing: the paperwork and admin.
The answer is outsourcing your admin tasks. Not only will this reduce your stress, but you can sleep better knowing you’re saving money, increasing your productivity, and having your work done by an expert.
Right now, the Victorian Government is offering a $1,200 Small Business Digital Adaptation Grant meaning you can power up your digital side
with funding to get the wheels in motion. Details

The trade industry has had its ups and downs within the last year as a result of COVID-19. Since the announcement of support initiatives for home buyers that were outlined in the 2021 Federal Budget, the Australian trade industry has been booming. One of the most underrated but fastest growing industries, there is simply not enough tradies compared to the demand for their services.
Outsourcing is growing in popularity as business owners uncover the cost and time benefits that it can have. The expenses of having an
employee quickly add up, not to mention the time that you need to invest to get them up to speed.
In addition to excellent accounting and business advisory, we're experts at integrating cloud based software like Xero and Next Minute into
your trades business.

Falling behind on your BAS lodgements looks like an administrative problem. Left long enough, it becomes an expensive one, because the GST you collected stays payable indefinitely while the GST credits you are owed disappear after four years. Here is what that looks like in dollars.
With negative gearing now quarantined for established dwellings, new house and land has become the sensible play for investors — but there is a trap in the first eighteen months. Interest on the land is denied, while interest on the construction is not. If the bank has written one loan, someone has to do the sums. Here is why it pays to split the loan before you sign.
When the draft legislation for the trust minimum tax was released, it came with a reassurance: if you do not want to restructure, you can simply make an election instead — no restructure, and no state stamp duty.
