Finding treasure in a sea of information

Clear Vision • January 13, 2015

Technology has given us access to an ever increasing volume of information and data. This is particularly true in business where sophisticated accounting packages can generate a wide variety of reports, graphs and statements that are incredibly useful for business decision making.

But are you actually using them? Without regular, expert advice most business owners simply ignore the opportunity to dig into this sea of information to find the treasure that will add value to their business.

Clear Vision has developed a range of financial monitoring and coaching options which involves regular review of your financial data and advice and coaching to help you identify:

–          unnecessary expenses

–          loss making activities

–          areas of higher profit to target

–          opportunities for growth

Depending on the level of need in your business this service can be as simple as a monthly review and recommendations via email or a monthly face to face with your accountant including detailed analysis of your numbers and solutions for areas of concern.

Contact Justin Searle to discuss which financial monitoring and coaching package best suits your business.

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.
