These are the strategic gaps we close — the ones that cost real money when they are ignored.
Not all product categories earn the same margin. We break out performance by category so you can double down on what works and phase out what does not.
Rent, outgoings, marketing levies, and make-good obligations — your total occupancy cost may be 20% of revenue or 40%. The difference determines whether you survive a slow quarter.
Staff discounts above certain thresholds trigger fringe benefits tax. Gift cards for employees at Christmas? Also FBT. We manage the compliance so it does not become an expensive surprise.
Every deliverable is principal-signed. Not delegated, not templated — built for your situation.
You know your margins by category. Your occupancy cost is benchmarked. Your FBT is compliant. And when the lease comes up for renewal, you negotiate from data — not desperation.
“They showed us our occupancy cost was 35% of revenue. We renegotiated the lease and saved $40K a year.”

No. Gift cards are not a supply — they are a payment method. GST is charged when the card is redeemed, not when it is purchased. We set up your accounting to defer the GST liability until redemption.
Shrinkage (theft, damage, spoilage) is a cost of goods adjustment. We reconcile physical stock counts against system records at least quarterly and adjust the inventory valuation accordingly. This gives you accurate margin numbers and correct year-end financials.
Fit-out costs are capital expenditure, depreciable over their effective life (or the lease term, whichever is shorter). Some items may qualify for instant asset write-off. We build a depreciation schedule that maximises your claim.
