Guess what… It is nearly June 30. Say whaaaaaaaaaaat? Yep. This year is disappearing in the blink of an eye meaning the new financial year is just around the corner.
At Empire Accountants we are big believers in ongoing improvement and development in our business and in ourselves. We think the end of financial year is the perfect time to reflect, review and essentially get BizFit for the new financial year!
To look back on the year that has been in your business and really understand what you did well, what you wish to improve on and where your business currently stands. Knowing this not only allows you to see how far you’ve come but what you can achieve next.
From reviewing what you have achieved and the areas of business that may need improvement, you can then define your new business goals and what you want to focus on. You cannot reach a goal that hasn’t been set, so defining them is a key component to improving your business performance.
By ‘learn’ we mean, your business knowledge, your industry knowledge, learning of your key strengths and what you can personally improve. The best way to excel in business is to continuously learn. The more you learn the more you know, which means you can use these new strengths in your business that will help you better serve your clients.
As accountants, managing your finances and the key drivers in your business are SO important to us. This new financial year is a perfect time to get your business budget sorted, begin a cashflow projection (if you missed our blog on why these are a winner go here), get on Xero to streamline your bookkeeping and review or CREATE a marketing plan.
These 4 steps of working through where you currently are, where you want to go and what you need to do to get there can drastically improve your business and help you create your Empire.

Starting a company is an exciting step, but the order in which you register your business and make purchases can affect your GST claims. If you have paid for equipment or start-up expenses personally before your company was incorporated, you may be wondering whether those GST credits are lost.
Starting a business can be equally exciting and daunting. What may have begun as a side hustle can grow into something much bigger - and
eventually, you may reach the point where doing everything yourself is no longer sustainable.
For many small business owners, that next stage of growth brings an important question: should you hire your first employee or engage an
independent contractor?
For many small business owners, a new car is both a practical business tool and a significant financial commitment. One of the first questions we are often asked is: “Should I buy the car through my company, or should I own it personally?”
