Office News
TraceyMeet Tracey our new Client Services Administrator! She will have her training wheels on for a couple of weeks but has lots of experience in the service industry so she will be a great asset to the team.

Karen has officially returned to work after having almost 12 months off after having her 2nd child. Karen will be working 2 days a week and can’t wait to catch up with all her clients again.

Teneille was back in Toowoomba last week and found the cold a little hard to deal with after the sunshine of Cairns! Teneille resides in Cairns permanently now and works externally – a testament to how far technology has come when you can work from over 1600kms away!
Who wouldn’t want to be in Cairns now that winter has finally hit Toowoomba??

 
kwickie Have you heard of Kwickie?

Kwickie is a video messaging app that brings fans and their friends closer together. Simply record a short video message and send to your favourite friend, fan and celebrity. Once they have responded, your Kwickie is complete and ready to be shared with the world.

Through AMMA you can be part of Kwickie. AMMA Member Accounting Firms and Existing Investors from other AMMA projects have requested they are provided a Priority OFFER for new Projects such as Kwickie, rather than hear about an investment opportunity after early rounds and prices have already closed.

SERIES B has opened recently at $0.50 share for $5.0M. As of today $3.6M has been secured and in the last 30 days (it is expected SERIES B will be complete in next 14 days).
If you want more information on Kwickie contact Justin Searle today.

 

LifelineEvery year CVA raises money to support a local charity. Last year we raised over $600 to help a local family with their Back To School supplies ensuring the kids started the school year on the right foot.

We had so much positive feedback that we have decided to do the same this year. Lifeline will be selecting a local Toowoomba family that we can donate vouchers from Browns Office Choice for their Back To School list.

If you want to help us help a local family contact us on how to make a donation.

 

$20k Asset Tax Write Off… money

Do you have a small business? Are you contemplating purchasing assets to help your business grow?

Small businesses can now claim an immediate deduction on their next tax return for depreciating assets that cost less than $20k. Assets can be purchased new or second-hand but must be used in the business for an income-producing purpose.

For assets that cost $20k or more group them into what is known as a small business pool. 15% can be claimed of the pool in the first year tax return and 30% of the pool in each year after that. If the balance of the business pool falls under $20k (before 15% or 30% deduction) claim this amount in full as a deduction in the tax return.

For more information on how to make this new ruling apply to your business call us today.

Office for Rent…

Offices are partly furnished with desks and chairs, with a communal kitchen. Reasonable rates with separate utilities, air conditioning, 1 on site car park as well as client parking.

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.
