Bookkeeping can feel simple right up until it becomes a rescue job. We see the same DIY mistakes over and over: quarterly catch-ups done at 11pm, missing receipts, GST coded on a guess, and a Xero file that looks “fine” until an accountant has to rebuild it to satisfy the taxman-ian devil (aka the ATO). We walk through the habits that keep small biz bookkeeping clean and cheap: doing it regularly, capturing source documents the moment you spend, and using tools like Hubdoc or Dext to s...

Tax Planning
Tax planning gets sold like it's a bag of magic tricks. It is NOT! Know the rules, know your numbers, make your moves before 30 June. That is genuinely it. Aly G and Leethal Lee start with the bit most biz owners skip: structure. Sole trader, company, trust, it matters. A LOT. It changes your tax rate, your timing, and the decisions you need to lock in before year end, especially if trust distributions are in the mix. Then they cut through the "just find me a deduction" mindset and bring it...

How to Pay Yourself in a biz
Treating the company bank account like a personal ATM feels great, right up until it's NOT! In this episode, Aly G and Leethal Lee unpack the ways Australian biz owners can pay themselves from a company, why "just transferring funds" is not a strategy, and how a seemingly harmless habit can snowball into a very big later me problem. They walk through the options: salary and wages (think Single Touch Payroll, PAYGW, super, and why the "we'll sort it at year end" approach really doesn't fly any...

Burnout In Business
This episode is a little different. A little more personal. A little more real. We talk about burnout, not as a buzzword, but as something many founders quietly carry. The pressure, the responsibility, the constant giving of yourself to your biz, your team, and your clients, sometimes without realising how much it is taking from you. It is an honest conversation about what happens when strong people get tired, and why even the most passionate biz owners sometimes need to stop and breathe. Thi...

Having It All… or Having What Matters?
We’ve all heard the promise: you can have it all. But what happens when that empowering idea starts to feel more like a scoreboard you can never win? In this episode, Aly G and Leethal Lee we peel back the highlight reel and talk honestly about ambition, motherhood, mental load and the quiet trade-offs that rarely make it to social media. We share personal experiences of assumptions about career progression and parenting, the simple phrase that changed everything, ask us, don’t guess, and pra...
