Xero

When it comes to streamlining your accounting, have you had a look at Xero? We’re big fans and are delighted with the benefits clients are experiencing. Being able to invoice, create expense claims and view reports on the go, while collaborating with us and other team members saves them a stack of time. The business insights it offers into areas for possible improvement are also proving invaluable.
Other technological advancements in the business world are even seeing finance giants starting to use powerful intelligence like OCR (optical character recognition) combined with AI (artificial intelligence) to automatically read receipts and process other data. Imagine the 1000’s of hours this could save (as it’s proven for them) freeing up time for growth activities like business strategy…
Let us know if you are curious about or would like assistance implementing Xero in your business.

The age-old debate between industry vs retail super funds continues… 

And you may have heard some interesting headlines stemming from the Productivity Commission’s draft report into superannuation, which included comparisons between these types of funds…

While some of the big industry providers may boast high returns there are many others that are close to being closed down based on their under performance for members.

The right retail super fund can offer many advantages, such as greater investment choice and better insurance options for improved outcomes overall.

Financial advisors like us can guide you on which fund is best for you, including whether a self-managed super fund is more in line with your goals and lifestyle. (1 in 15 Australians now have a self-managed super fund and the uptake is rising daily.)

Feel free to call if you have any questions or would like assistance with managing your superannuation. We pride ourselves on our superannuation expertise, continually undertaking further development in this field, including being one of just a few licensees able to advise on SMSF’s throughout the central west.

Going above and beyond to ensure heard earned contributions are maximising retirement income is standard practice here.
