From your accountant

Three things worth your attention in October 2026

Joanna MerrittPartner, Pellbrook & Co

  1. Revenue of $676,500 is up 13% on October last year, and net profit of $91,560 is $17,360 ahead of budget.

  2. The July to September BAS is $86,400 and it's waiting for your approval. It needs to go in by 25 November.

  3. The second brewer plan works, but it takes the forecast below your $250,000 buffer in the week of 8 February. Let's talk about timing before you advertise the role.
