Advivo Newsletter October 2026

A message from our Managing Partner,
Happy New Year and welcome to 2026! I trust you had a well-deserved break over the holiday period and are ready to tackle the year ahead with renewed energy and focus.
As we’ve now settled into the second half of the financial year, January presents the perfect opportunity to pause and take stock. Six months into FY2025/26, it’s time to review your budget and assess how your business is tracking against the goals you set back in July. Are your revenue projections on track, or do they need adjusting? Have your costs remained within budget, or have unexpected expenses emerged? This mid-year checkpoint is about more than just numbers it’s about ensuring you’re positioned for a strong finish to the financial year.
Take time this month to reflect on what’s working and what isn’t. Identify the wins, successful strategies, and opportunities worth capitalising on in the second half. Be honest about underperforming initiatives that need adjustment or a complete rethink. What worked and should be capitalised upon? What didn’t work and needs tweaking?
Our team is here to support you through this process. Whether you need help refining your budget, reforecasting cash flow, or developing strategies to accelerate growth, we’re ready to help you make informed decisions that drive results.
Let’s make the second half of FY2025/26 your strongest yet.
Kind Regards,
Leon Stephan
Managing Partner
We’re now six months into the financial year, making this the perfect time to review your business goals and assess what’s working and what needs adjusting.
Under the new rules, super contributions must reach employees nominated accounts within 7 business days of payday.
Understanding Business Activity Statement lodgement requirements is fundamental to staying compliant and maintaining healthy cash flow.
The shift from quarterly to monthly thinking is where many businesses struggle. You might lodge quarterly, but your cash flow needs daily management.
