Real-World Resources for Australian Small Business Owners

Practical guides and worksheets built from actual client challenges

We've spent years working alongside small business owners across Australia. These materials come from real conversations, common struggles, and solutions that actually worked. Nothing here is theoretical—just straightforward tools you can use tomorrow.

What You'll Find Here

These aren't generic templates. Each resource addresses specific challenges we've seen businesses face in the Australian market.

Cash Flow Worksheets

Simple spreadsheets that help you track money movement. We built these after watching too many clients struggle with overly complex accounting software.

Tax Planning Guides

Updated for 2025 ATO requirements. Written in plain English because tax documents shouldn't need a decoder ring.

Budget Templates

Realistic frameworks that account for Australian business cycles. Includes seasonal adjustment tips from retail and service businesses we've worked with.

Quarterly Review Checklists

What to actually look at when reviewing your numbers. Covers the metrics that matter for businesses under $2M revenue.

Expense Tracking Tools

Categories that make sense for Australian small businesses. Stop losing receipts and wondering where the money went.

Financial Literacy Modules

Short lessons on understanding your P&L, balance sheet, and why both matter. No finance degree required.

Built for How You Actually Work

Most financial resources assume you have hours to spare. Ours don't. We know you're running a business, not attending an accounting course.

  • Video walkthroughs under 10 minutes—because you don't have time for hour-long tutorials
  • Downloadable PDFs you can print and reference offline when your computer's tied up
  • Real examples from Canberra cafes, Sydney tradies, and Melbourne retailers
  • Mobile-friendly formats for reviewing on your phone between appointments
  • Step-by-step screenshots that show exactly where to click

Different Formats for Different Needs

Some people learn by reading. Others prefer watching. We've got both, plus some hands-on tools.

1

Interactive Calculators

Type in your numbers and see projections instantly. Great for testing scenarios like "what if I hired someone" or "can I afford new equipment." Everything runs in your browser—no sign-ups or data sharing.

2

Case Study Breakdowns

Real businesses (names changed) and how they solved specific problems. A Fyshwick warehouse that fixed their inventory tracking. A retail shop in Braddon that streamlined their bookkeeping. You'll see the before, the after, and what happened in between.

Checklist Collections

Simple yes/no lists you can work through. Monthly financial health checks, year-end preparation tasks, new hire financial setup. Print them out and tick boxes as you go.

4

Reference Sheets

One-page summaries of important topics. Keep them near your desk. Common deductions for your industry, payment terms that protect cash flow, when to charge GST.
