The Importance of Cashflow

Too many startups fail because they focus only on sales or profit, without managing cashflow. 

Cashflow = the money available to pay bills, suppliers and wages. 

Cashflow Risk Factors: 

• Late client payments 

• High upfront expenses 

• Unexpected tax obligations 

• No buffer for emergencies 

Sample Monthly Cashflow Table: 

Month

  • Month 1
  • Month 2

Inflows

  • $8,000
  • $9,500

Outflows

  • $6,200
  • $7,000

Tax Savings

  • $1,200
  • $1,400

Closing Balance

  • $600
  • $1,700

We show you how to build a live cashflow system using Xero or MYOB and plan for slow months before they happen.

The Importance of Taxation Planning

Tax is not just something to worry about at year-end. It is a regular obligation that can impact cashflow, pricing and business planning. 

Key Tax Focus Areas:

Area

  • GST
  • PAYG Installments
  • PAYG Withholding
  • BAS
  • Super
  • End-of-Year Tax

What We Help With

  • Whether and when you must register
  • ATO tax estimates based on income
  • Tax on employee wages
  • Quarterly or monthly lodgement
  • Contribution requirements and deadlines
  • What you can claim, and how to prepare

With proactive advice, you will not be caught out by surprise bills or overdue notices. 

What You Will Walk Away With 

After your 30-minute consult, you will receive: 

• A startup structure recommendation 

• A setup and compliance checklist 

• BAS and GST requirements explained 

• Cashflow and tax planning insights 

• Advice on software tools 

• A roadmap for the next 12 months 

This session helps clarify what to do now, and what to prepare for as your business grows.
