Property's capital gains have dried up, tax rules are going against landlords, and costs keep rising. Meanwhile, business sales are still tax-free and you have more control your own income & asset value.
Luke breaks down why Kiwis are finally waking up to business as the superior asset class: no capital gains tax, better expense deductibility, and you're in control of the revenue. We cover why property feels harder when there's no capital growth, the aging business owner opportunity, and why the tax trend favours business over property.
Most people on the rich list built wealth through business, not property. Maybe it's time New Zealand caught up.
The old path was education → job → property → repeat. The new path might be business ownership, tax-free capital gains, and actual control over your financial future.

Most business owners get so caught up building their business they forget to plan what it's actually for. Amy from Levridge explains why that's backwards thinking.
Your business is there to provide you the life you want. But most people build first and figure out the purpose later.
The business should serve your life goals, not become your life. Figure out what you want first.

Even Watties is shutting down plants and cutting jobs. If a household name like that isn't immune, what does that mean for your business?
Luke and Phil break down the liquidation crisis hitting New Zealand, with construction and hospitality leading the charge.
The pattern is clear: businesses are carrying the same overhead on reduced sales, squeezing profit to losses, then using creditors and IRD to fund the shortfall. Meanwhile, IRD is getting aggressive.
If you're behind on tax, it's going on your credit report. Employees will see it. Banks will see it. Suppliers will see it. You can't hide anymore.
We cover why some businesses are thriving while others collapse, the unfair advantage of not paying tax (until you get caught), and why playing by the rules might finally pay off. The economy isn't coming to save you, fix your business fundamentals now.

Terminal tax is due April 7th, 2026. If you haven't planned for it, you're about to get a nasty surprise from your accountant.
Luke and Phil break down what terminal tax actually is and why you should pay it early instead of waiting until the last minute.
The businesses that stress about terminal tax are the ones that don't plan for it. Set up a separate tax account, put money aside monthly, and stop using IRD as your interest-free loan provider.

Josh Blackie went from being a pro rugby player, to Blues GM to buying a flooring business he'd never run before. The key? Thorough due diligence and finding a point of difference in a competitive industry.
Josh breaks down the business buying process, why elite sport prepares you for business, how to handle uncomfortable conversations, and why speed of communication matters when things go wrong.
"If you're not walking towards that uncomfortableness, it's going to come back and hurt you later on."
The businesses that scale are the ones willing to have difficult conversations early, solve problems proactively, and operate in the growth zone where most people aren't comfortable.

Most business owners would rather find a magic solution than do the boring work that actually gets results. They're trying to solve problems at hurdles 8, 9, and 10 when they haven't even crossed the first hurdle.
Luke and Phil break down why changing accountants won't fix your cash flow problems, why there's no shortcut out of debt, and why the answer is always the thing you don't want to hear: do the work. We share the story of someone who went from $60K debt to earning $265K by working 85 hours a week.

The Reserve Bank held the OCR at 2.25%, and everyone's looking for relief. But the reality is the external conditions won't save your business, your actions will.
Luke and Phil break down why waiting for perfect interest rates, inflation numbers, or economic conditions is a losing strategy. We cover why business is supposed to be hard, the friction between economists and the Reserve Bank, and why some businesses are thriving while others are stuck waiting for someone else to fix their problems.
When are we going to learn that the external is created from the internal? You're going to have to go and do the work first. Stop looking for magic solutions.
The businesses winning right now aren't waiting for rate cuts, they're executing their strategies regardless of economic conditions.

Most business owners hate selling because they think it's sleazy. Max explains why that mindset is killing your business and how to sell with genuine confidence.
Max breaks down the fundamentals and why most Kiwis are too soft to handle rejection.
If you think sales is about getting one over someone, of course it feels yucky. But if you're genuinely helping people solve problems, it feels completely different.
Max shares his journey from personal trainer to sales expert, why you need to give a shit about your customers, and how to build rapport without being fake.
Sales isn't manipulation. It's helping people get closer to what they want to achieve.

691 businesses surveyed across New Zealand & Australia. Only 41% grew in 2025. But here's the thing, if you're not growing, don't blame the economy.
Luke and Phil break down the Indicator report: business owners expected recovery in the second half of 2025, it didn't happen, and now they're pushing expectations to mid-2026 or 2027. Meanwhile, the successful businesses are doing the boring work consistently and taking action.
The data proves what we've been saying: there's opportunity out there if you're prepared to go and look for it. While 60% struggled, 41% still found growth in the toughest economy in decades.
The difference? Action beats hope every time.

Most Kiwi businesses are just jobs with extra stress. The difference? Systems and processes that actually work.
Luke and Phil break down the essential systems every business needs, why businesses with systems sell for more, how to manage your pipeline effectively, and why you need to work ON your business, not just IN it.
If someone wants to buy your business and asks "what systems do you have?" You better have a good answer.
The businesses that scale have systems. The ones that stay small hope everything works out.

Cam Ward is the CEO of New Zealand's largest gym franchise with 62 Anytime Fitness locations, but before you think franchising is your ticket to passive income, he's got some hard truths to share.
Cam breaks down what it really takes to franchise: deep understanding of your numbers, multiple successful sites in different markets, and the financial capacity to invest heavily upfront before seeing returns. We cover why one successful site isn't enough, the responsibility you take on for franchisees' success, and why franchising is definitely not passive income.
Master franchises live and die on franchisee success. You're not just selling your brand name, you're becoming the brand guardian, standard keeper, and support system for people who've invested their life savings.
Most business owners think franchising means easy money. Cam explains why that thinking will destroy you and your franchisees.
We cover site selection criteria, the skills needed to be a franchisor vs operator, and why you need to be laser-focused on franchisee success. Plus the financial investment required and why many businesses simply aren't ready to franchise.
Don't franchise until you understand what you're really signing up for.

What would you do if your main source of leads dried up tomorrow? Most business owners have never thought about this, until it's too late.
Luke and Phil break down the real examples: government contracts that suddenly stop, Facebook ad accounts getting banned, websites going offline, and emails going to spam for weeks. We cover why putting all your marketing eggs in one basket is a recipe for disaster, and how to stress test your lead generation before disaster strikes.
The pattern is always the same, businesses get comfortable with one reliable source, then panic when it disappears. Meanwhile, smart business owners are building multiple streams: past customer outreach, referral systems, direct mail, cold calling, and social media.
We've seen clients lose tens of thousands because they relied on one platform, one relationship, or one marketing channel. Don't be next.
It's time to diversify.

Investment boost gives you a 20% tax deduction on new equipment before March 31st. But before you rush out to buy that Ford Ranger, Phil and Luke explain why this could be a terrible idea.
We break down how investment boost actually works and the trap people fall into buying things they don't need and can't afford just to save on tax.
If you're going to buy the equipment anyway and you can afford it, investment boost is great. If you're buying it just for tax, you're making an expensive mistake.

Business confidence just hit a 10-year high, but confidence doesn't pay the bills. Action does.
Luke and Phil break down why 2026 will separate the winners from the losers: the businesses making offers are seeing things move, while those sitting on their hands are still struggling. We cover why speed beats perfection, the unfair advantage of being agile, and why you can't wait for perfect conditions.
The economy might be turning, but only for those willing to turn with it. Stop waiting for permission to succeed. The opportunities are there - go get them.

Most business owners keep adding more services, more products, more complexity. Then they wonder why they're working 60-hour weeks and barely paying themselves.
Today I break down the real profitability process: start with your numbers, model where you're heading, then fix what's broken. We cover why owners get pulled away from their zone of genius, how to price properly, and when to raise prices (spoiler: probably now).
Stop being busy. Start being profitable. Your business should reward you for the risk you're taking.

Most business owners think hiring is simple: find someone, pay them, make more money. Then they wonder why their cash flow got worse.
Today I break down the real process: financial modelling, understanding true costs (way more than just salary), and figuring out what work you shouldn't be doing.
We cover the love-hate exercise, why you might need admin support first, and how to structure the hire properly.
An employee costs more than their salary... Equipment, training, holidays, slow revenue periods. Most owners never model this out.
Don't wing it. Model it out first.
Today Im breaking down the 4 places that your profit disappears, leading to a difference between your cash in the bank compared to your profit number.

The businesses making offers are seeing things move. The ones sitting on their hands are still struggling.
We cover shifting consumer confidence, the wealth effect, and how business owners are changing from survival mode to growth mode. Plus what the data is really telling us about where New Zealand's economy is heading in 2026.
Are we finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?
Someone once told me to focus on my strengths. I said how. They showed me the Gallup’s StrengthsFinder to figure out what I’m actually good at, and what to stop wasting time on. Then the maximiser in me wanted to go deeper on this so I linked up with an incredible human.
In this episode, I’ve convinced my secret strengths coach, Suze Oh, to join me for a deep dive into how understanding your natural talents can change the way you work, lead, and live.
It certainly did for me. We unpack my Top 10 strengths (yep, the real list), talk about how they show up in business and life, and how you can use your own strengths to make more progress with less burnout.
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re wired the way you are, this one’s for you.

From April 2026, Kiwisaver contributions are jumping from 3% to 3.5%. By 2032, it could be as high as 6% from you and 6% from your employer. Business owners need to start planning now.
Luke and Phil break down what's really happening: 1.4 million Kiwis (40% of members) aren't contributing anything to their own retirement, government contributions are being means-tested away, and the $130 billion pot is getting serious attention from politicians.
We can't afford to keep paying gold-plated pensions to baby boomers while younger generations get nothing. Business owners will face increasing payroll costs every year until 2032. A half percent increase annually might not sound like much, but multiply that by your entire workforce.
We cover why it should be compulsory for everyone, the temporary reduction options (that defeat the whole purpose), and why people who understand money are excited about 6% matching.
The rules are changing. Adapt or get left behind.

Most business owners would rather go broke than say no to a bad client. Then they act surprised when they're working 60-hour weeks for peanuts.
Phil and Luke break down why Kiwi business owners are addicted to saying yes: scarcity mindset, fear of missing out, and the belief that every job leads to something bigger. We cover why your $100 clients bring 80% of your problems, how to filter out time wasters, and why having cash in the bank gives you the power to choose.
The pattern is always the same... Say yes to everything, get stuck doing work you hate, then complain about difficult customers while your margins get crushed.
You've got an unfair advantage as a small business owner, you're agile. But only if you actually use it. If you can't say no, you don't have a business, you have a job with extra stress.
Make the tough calls before someone else makes them for you.

Most business owners couldn't tell you when they last followed up with an inquiry, then they wonder why their cash flow is unpredictable.
Phil and Luke break down why pipeline management separates successful businesses from struggling ones. We cover how to track leads properly (even with a pen and paper), why speed kills deals, and how one client nurtures prospects for 3 years before they're ready to buy.
The reality? You're in complete control of your business destiny, but only if you stop letting business happen TO you and start making it happen FOR you. While others wait for the economy to improve, smart business owners are filling their pipelines and creating their own opportunities.
Stop being reactive. Start being proactive.

December is only 3 working weeks this year. The 20th falls on a Saturday. Good luck getting paid between then and February.
Phil and Luke break down the December disaster every SME business faces: customers disappear to Pauanui, decision-making stops, and your cash flow gets crushed while bills keep coming. We cover why you need to chase money NOW, not send emails, and how to set payment deadlines before everyone checks out.
You'll still pay wages, rent, GST, PAYE, and provisional tax in January while revenue flatlines. Meanwhile, the big corporates keep taking their direct debits and the government wants their money on the 15th. We cover annual leave costs, the Christmas gift pressure, and why employees don't understand the stress business owners face.

The pattern is clear, successful businesses are getting off their ass and doing something. They're not waiting for the economy to improve or hoping their website will magically bring customers.
We cover relationship building, asking for referrals, leveraging existing client bases, and why speed beats perfection every time. Plus the mindset shift from "what do I want to do" to "what problems can I solve."

Phil and Luke break down why changing accountants won't fix your cash flow problems, why there's no shortcut out of debt, and why the answer is always the thing you don't want to hear: do the work.
We share the story of someone who went from $60K debt and on the benefit, to earning $265K by working 85 hours a week. No magic. No shortcuts. Just relentless action.
Stop looking for the easy way out. The path through your problems is doing what you already know you need to do.

Phil and Luke break down why business margins are getting their margins crushed and what you can do about it to protect yours.
The businesses thriving right now are the ones protecting their margins.
The ones going broke are hoping things get better. Stop guessing. Start measuring. Check your margins monthly or watch your business slowly bleed out.

Most business owners just pick a random ACC classification code when they set up their company. Then they wonder why their ACC bill is so high.
The problem? It's ridiculously easy to get this wrong. You set up a company, they ask for your business industry classification code, and you go "I don't know, that one looks close enough." Meanwhile, there are dozens of subcategories with wildly different rates.
We cover why the classification system is so confusing, how to check if you're in the right bucket, and what questions to ask ACC to make sure you're not overpaying. Plus the real reason ACC might be making losses - hundreds of thousands of businesses probably have the wrong codes.

Most business owners are doing cash flow completely wrong. Then they wonder why they're always stressed about money. You do the work, send an invoice, then wait 20+ days to get paid. Meanwhile, you've already paid wages, materials, and overheads. That's backwards.
Phil breaks down the real cash flow hacks that work: taking deposits upfront, charging site visit fees to filter time wasters, and getting paid the day you finish the job. We cover why your balance sheet is like a wet sponge soaking up cash, and how to wring it out.
Cash flow isn't the problem, your systems are. Fix the systems, fix the cash flow. Your business success depends on cash moving through it, not getting stuck in it.

Ever wondered how to actually price your services for profit, with confidence? In this behind the scenes coaching call, you’ll hear real advice I gave to a Kiwi business owner struggling with pricing, cost, and value.
We cover:
Why pricing based on competitors is a race to the bottom
The difference between cost-based and value-based pricing
How to test your prices and use real market feedback
Why most NZ businesses undercharge (and how to fix it)
The mindset shift from “what will people pay?” to “what is this worth?”
How to handle pushback when you finally raise your prices
This is a raw, practical look at the pricing conversations most business owners are too scared to have. If you want to stop leaving money on the table and start charging what you’re worth, this is a must watch.

We are noticing more and more clients are having a slower December and January which got us thinking what else could be contributing to this. It seems like many business owners are getting frustrated with the level of sick days and working from home days, and how those are potentially impacting the amount of annual leave someone can stack up. In this podcast we'll start the conversation on it and we welcome you to send in your stories from across your business and what you've seen with some of your employees so we can do a follow up podcast.

Recently, a new business owner asked us how to stop comparing themselves to their competitors. This is a common challenge we discuss with business owners, as it’s easy to fall into the comparison trap.

It is the most wonderful time of the year...year end.
It is nearly that time of year again when accountants need to complete a set of accounts to keep the IRD happy. Banks are also increasingly asking for more accurate and timely financial information.
If you have debt or are considering lending, you need to ensure this process is as fast as possible so that your accounts do not become the bottleneck in these discussions.
Here are some things to start thinking about (that your accountant will most likely request):
- Confirmation of bank and loan balances at 31 March 2025. [Perhaps you could take a screenshot at 31 March so that your accountant can ensure Xero / your accounting system matches up with the bank]
- Did you buy or dispose of assets during the year? Do you have copies of receipts? [Accountants need these to have on file should the IRD request them - compile those]
- Do any of your invoices need to be written off as your customer/client is no longer going to pay you? [This brings your revenue down and your profit too, impacting final tax]
- Were there any unusual purchases or sales during the year you need to run past your accountant that you haven’t already?
- Does your accountant know about any cash you bank personally from business or asset sales?
- Have you completed your annual home office calculation? We have included a link below for you to make a copy of the spreadsheet our clients use. [This allows you to claim some home office costs and brings your profit down, decreasing final tax]
- Do you have stock? Complete your year end stock take [This tracks the total stock left on hand to better account for your purchases]
- Remember Provisional Tax installment 3 is on the 7th of May
- The low value asset threshold is $1k so get minor asset purchases in before then to decrease your profit and tax [Don't buy assets you don't need though].
- Any new additional income like rental, crypto transactions, dividends, overseas income? Let your accountant know.
- Do you have donations to let your accountant know about?
- Any bank or credit cards not showing in your accounting software? You may be missing claiming expenses.
We know this stuff is boring at times, but it is still important and important to do it right.
If your accountant seems to niggle you for the information, it's because they want to get it out of the way for you so that you can carry on running your business.
We hope that helps,
Luke & Phil

We often speak with business owners who struggle with the decision of whether investing in themselves is a good use of money. We also hear similar concerns when they talk about their clients or customers. Why are people more willing to invest in vehicles or quick wins rather than education and information that could yield far greater returns in the long run? Let’s explore this mindset and what it means for your business.

We explore things like: What are the most common things people insure? Are people ignoring insurance? What we don’t know about insurance that we need to? You will enjoy these stories and this will get you thinking more about insurance and it’s importance.

It's no secret that the economy is shaky out there.
Just because the economy is in recession, doesn't mean you have to be.
• We are officially in a recession(just) that actually started in October 2022
• The RBNZ hasn’t beaten inflation
• The RBNZ want to engineer 30,000 job losses
By now, it is no secret that the landscape of business has changed, but is the worst still to come?
We have been having similar conversations with a number of clients, so we want to put together a webinar combining some of these key themes:
• The economy is in recession, but you don’t need to be
• What do higher interest rates mean?
• Why do people say the recession makes more millionaires than good times?
• The 3 key questions you need to ask yourself through these turbulent times
MOST business owners won’t do things differently, push harder, change course, adapt or accept that things have changed and this ultimately leads to more opportunity for you.
You have a unique window to think differently to others and if you can do this, you will be rewarded.
This webinar is specifically tailored for business owners.
This webinar is designed to be highly interactive, providing you with ample opportunities to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions.
Take advantage of this opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and learn from others.

Recent data from Xero reveals that many small business owners aren't actually paying themselves at the moment because they need to hold the money back in the business. Whilst this is okay in the short-term this should not be an approach that you want to adopt and maintain over a longer period of time. You deserve to be rewarded for the rest that you take in your business. Find out more in this episode.

Do you know why you are doing it? What got you into business in the first place? Is your business looking like that today? We find that business owners with clear purpose, why or reasons are easier to build plans with. They can take clearer actions because they know why they are doing it. That makes it easier to work out what to do and with who. Learn from these business owners in this podcast.

You are not your business. In this podcast we explore the concept of looking at yourself as the CEO of the business rather than the business owner. This gives you accountability back to a board rather than yourself. This might be helpful for you if you are trying to make some tricky decisions and have hard conversations but are struggling to make it happen. We hope you get a lot out of this podcast.

There are whispers that GST will be taken off fruit and vegetables. We dissect whether this is a good idea or not, or whether prices will end up coming back to their current GST-inclusive prices. At the moment this is just speculation but it’s good that people are thinking about tax as we head towards an election.

The message seems to be that inflation has reached its peak so it's time to celebrate. Is 6% inflation really something to celebrate? Don't get complacent now and understand that it may now be harder to put your prices up. And perhaps ask yourself the interesting question; is it the perfect time to ask for a discount?

It's no secret that the economy is shaky out there.
Just because the economy is in recession, doesn't mean you have to be.
• We are officially in a recession(just) that actually started in October 2022
• The RBNZ hasn’t beaten inflation
• The RBNZ want to engineer 30,000 job losses
By now, it is no secret that the landscape of business has changed, but is the worst still to come?
We have been having similar conversations with a number of clients, so we want to put together a webinar combining some of these key themes:
• The economy is in recession, but you don’t need to be
• What do higher interest rates mean?
• Why do people say the recession makes more millionaires than good times?
• The 3 key questions you need to ask yourself through these turbulent times
MOST business owners won’t do things differently, push harder, change course, adapt or accept that things have changed and this ultimately leads to more opportunity for you.
You have a unique window to think differently to others and if you can do this, you will be rewarded.
This webinar is specifically tailored for business owners.
This webinar is designed to be highly interactive, providing you with ample opportunities to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions.
Take advantage of this opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and learn from others.

Recent data from Xero reveals that many small business owners aren't actually paying themselves at the moment because they need to hold the money back in the business. Whilst this is okay in the short-term this should not be an approach that you want to adopt and maintain over a longer period of time. You deserve to be rewarded for the rest that you take in your business. Find out more in this episode.

How easy is it to change accountants? When you're willing to take initiative it can be a very straight forward process!
There are many factors and variables that come into the service your current accountant provides or doesn't provide. Are you getting the service you want? Do you hear from your accountant? How much are you paying? An accountant can provide huge amounts of value to your business in addition to simply doing your end of year accounts.

If you haven’t figured out why giving value is such a critical part of business yet then 1. Where have you been? And 2. Get onto Spotify or Apple Podcasts now and listen to this!!
⠀
Or even if you’re a little unsure of how to do this, make sure you have a listen. Value is a huge reason people shop or work with you. Is your customer service faultless, do you have free extras that always come with your product, do you provide your customers with a bit of a laugh, are you providing free resources for the benefit of those in your community?
⠀
Find what you can do to give value back to the network that supports you but even more than that the general community. Keep it genuine, it’s way too easy to spot a fake value provider because at the end of the day the sale is the most important part. The customer or client should be the most important part - what would make them feel good about engaging in your business?

Episode 18 is all about vision. Everything starts with a vision - this is one of the very first things we establish with our clients. Why? Because this is something business owners really struggle to articulate.
⠀
It’s not always easy to share and be vulnerable with your goals or dreams but your accountant is here to see and support you in succeeding! Have you established your vision? Sometimes we get so caught up in the day to day operations we let go of the bigger picture!
⠀
We think your vision is something you should consistently be coming back to and reiterating with your audience. You need to picture it to make it your reality! Find all of our thoughts, tips & tools on the pod.

“
I really believe that being accountable is one of the biggest keys to happiness.

When you’re accountable… when you take responsibility for things that go wrong (regardless of whether or not it’s actually your fault) … you’ll feel in control. You won’t feel helpless or feel like other people are controlling your life.

You may have already noticed but... we do A LOT of social media - especially for an accounting firm 🤭
⠀
So today we chat about it, why it’s important, what people said to us when we started and how to go about it. Our newest podcast covers it all!
⠀
Especially in this industry and some others, it’s not as common to contribute active energy to social media. But there is no doubt it’s the future. If you’re interested but not too sure make sure you listen to today’s podcast ep!
