Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

In this weeks episode we are focusing back on the numbers side of business. For many of you this is the time of year that you may be working with your accountant to get your year-end finalised and tax returns lodged. And you may thing that your accountant will proactively filling you in on all the things you need to know and do, in order to improve things for next year. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.

Today Matt is sharing 6 key questions he thinks every business owner should be asking their accountant right now.

These questions centre around:

• Looking at business structures and assessing whether it’s time for a change;
• Asking about cashflow improvements
• Are there ways to pay less tax(legally)?
• What about changes to legislation, does any of that impact you?
• Is it time for professional financial advice;
• And of course how is your business performing?

Being proactive with asking your accountant questions like these helps ensure you are maximising that relationship and making appropriate changes, updates and improvements to support your business moving forward.

Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

Today is the final instalment in our 3 part series we are bringing you on the recent Closing the Loopholes Act which delivered a raft of changes to the Fair Work Act and our Industrial Relations laws.

Today we are talking about the changes to the definition of Casual Employment.

We start by discussing what these key changes are including:

• The new definition of a casual employee;
• The fact that the contract is no longer king;
• The need to consider the totality of the employment relationship;
• The obligation of employers to get the engagement right from the outset;
• The new casual conversion pathway;
• Updates to the provision of a new Casual Employment Information Statement.

We then take a look at the risks, and incredible fines, that employers may face if they get this wrong.

Finally, we discuss how these changes impact your current casual team members.
