The economy is on the rocks. Your business could be about to get knocked. Don't leave your business strategy to chance! The Australian Business Podcast is back and your host Owen Rask speaks with Jordan Kidis, co-founder of Grey Space Advisory, about their 8 best tips for managing your business in the new financial year. These business tips are simple, effective and can be implemented right now. Owen & Jordan's tips for the new FY: Get the optimal number of bank accounts: how to manage your finances day-to-day. Jordan suggests two bank accounts. Use software (use Xero for good sized businesses, and perhaps Hnry for tiny businesses). Know how much cash to put aside for tax. Scott Pape recently said he puts 35% away. Is that too much? Automation - tradies and self-employed - get the ATO app. Everyone: take photos of every receipt and upload to Xero. Use e-commerce tools (even if you're not in ecom). If you sell a product or service, ask yourself, can it be done online via a website? Think courses, consulting packages, memberships, etc. or even merch? Have a centralised planner for content and your team's resources. Put 3 hours aside every month, same day, same time, to retro (look back on the month) and look forward. We're biased but get an expert: the cost of good accounting and bookkeeping isn't much when you consider the return from great advice. If your accountant isn't pulling their weight, shop around now! ~~ Resources ~~ Ask a question: https://bit.ly/3QtiY00 Grey Space website: http://bit.ly/3DG5lWS Free business course: https://bit.ly/rask-biz-course Owen Rask's business coaching (beta): https://bit.ly/coach-owen This Australian Business Podcast Episode is for founders, business owners and investors in private companies.
