Business Alert at 9:00am With CVA – The Power of Goal Setting

Clear Vision • October 17, 2018

Do you spend more time planning your vacation than you do setting goals for your business?

It’s a pondering question and one we think most would answer YES.

Business owners fail to set goals because they get too busy; we all run out of hours in a day. In fact it’s rare to find a small business who holds goal setting sessions. Maybe once or twice a year you might sit down with someone and set a few goals but, do you commit to reviewing them, discuss them regularly, or even break your goals down and set deadlines? A concise plan with clear accountabilities & implementation targets will see you smashing you goals out of the park.

If you spend 1 hour planning your next holiday which is probably being conservative, why not spend an hour with us. We’ll help you set your business goals, calculate what needs to be done to achieve them, work with you to write a realistic plan and help you continue to stay on track long after you’ve left our office.

You’ll be surprised at how good you’ll feel.

12% Superannuation Guarantee - 1 July 2025

By Caroline Gillies • June 22, 2025
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.
