Business Improvement – It’s Not Just About More Money!

Clear Vision • March 3, 2016

When Clear Vision works with clients to set a clear strategy for their business a key part of the process is to determine the true goals of the business owners. This is also something we work through in detail at the annual Global Business Camps we attend with clients.
If you don’t think too deeply or you haven’t run your own business you probably think a business improves, or is more successful, simply if it makes more money.
Money can’t buy happiness but it can buy lots of other stuff right? That may be true but what it can’t buy you is more time and a better quality of life both inside and outside your business.
If we ask any of our clients to write down the top 5 things they want when planning for the future of their business we almost always get something like “quality of life”, “more time with family” or “less stress”.
That’s why Clear Vision offers services that reduce the amount of stress and financial management work of our clients. It’s also why we actively plan for our clients to win back their time from their business.
Don’t get us wrong, we can definitely help your business be more profitable but we also understand that your true motivation might be something a little different.

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.
