Business Alert at 9:00am With CVA – Gifts Tips

Clear Vision • December 19, 2018

Have you left it until the last minute? We can Help. 

It’s never fun to open a gift from someone you love and realise you haven’t bought them anything in return so instead of having that sinking feeling, we thought we’d give you a few ideas from the team at Clear Vision Accountancy Group. Maybe this year could be your best year yet for surprising him or her. The below gifts are not necessarily just his and hers, e.g. everyone would love a Travel Voucher… It’s a guide only.

Gifts for Her

  • Chanel No 5 Soap – $34.00 (Can’t go wrong)
  • Ella Bache Voucher – Money value so she can choose, less pressure on you this way too
  • Peter Alexander Pyjamas -voucher can work here too because of size concerns
  • Travel Voucher – How can you go wrong? Flight Centre voucher can even be used for a night in the city.
  • Polaroid Camera – don’t forget to buy film too
  • Shoe shop voucher – Because who doesn’t love shoes?

Gifts for Him

  • Wireless Headphones – You can get them from $40 to $400
  • Chanel Deodorant – there are a few scents but men love these, easier than aftershave
  • Shaving Kits or Hot Shave Voucher – Specialty Barber Shops
  • Hip Flask – Lots of cool ones around or you can get one personalised
  • Experience Voucher – E.g. Rally Driving, Tiger Moth flight, Sky-diving… etc
  • Esky – there are so many options, K Mart has one on wheels that can turn into a cart without the esky
  • A good brand knife – We all love our sharp knives, King of Knives have everything you’ll need

This is just a few options but if you’re stuck, I’m positive you’ll be able to find something on this list that would delight.

Merry Christmas!

Running a business isn’t just about making sales — it’s about making enough sales to cover your costs and pay yourself what you deserve. But how do you figure out how much turnover (aka revenue) you actually need to make each month? Knowing this number helps you: Set realistic sales targets Price your products or services properly Know when to cut costs or increase margins Understand when your business is sustainable This isn’t just about numbers — it’s about clarity and control. Once you know your required turnover, you can stop guessing and start planning. Whether you’re a solopreneur, a growing startup, or a small business owner, this is the foundation of making your business work for you — not the other way around. We love numbers — seriously. And we get that not everyone does.

From 1 July 2025, the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate in Australia will increase to 12%. This means employers will be legally required to contribute at least 12% of an eligible employee's ordinary time earnings to their superannuation fund. This increase is the final step in a legislated rise from 9.5% in 2021 to 12% by 2025, aimed at boosting retirement savings for Australian workers. If you use Xero for payroll, the SG rate should automatically update in the system. However, we recommend you double-check your payroll settings to ensure everything is correct. If you’re unsure or need assistance, please contact your bookkeeper or get in touch with us at: Clear Vision Accountancy Group (07) 4688 2500 We’re here to help you stay compliant and avoid any costly errors.
