Why the Immediate Write Off Might Cost you Tax!

Its the End of The Year (New Song) plus 10 things to consider before 30 June

Its the end of the year as we know it, and Tim and Dan have made a little jingle to help you remember what you need to do before 30 June! Plus we discuss the top 10 things you consider before 30 June. 

Game Time - Show Us Your Books

Dan and Tim dodge death, battle a rogue office mouse, and somehow tie it all back to gratitude and balance sheets. In their new segment "Show Us Your Books," they crack open Lehman Brothers’ financials like a cold one—revealing red flags, dodgy debt, and the truth behind “growth.” Laughs, lessons, and a little light accounting—what more could you want?

How To Get Money Out of My Business

This week on the pod, Tim and Dan pour a Hugo Spritz and dive into the nitty-gritty of getting paid from your biz. They break down how sole traders, companies, and trusts all do it differently, and why your personal budget matters more than you think when it comes to tax. Along the way, they swap some travel tales with a side of cultural spice and hammer home why keeping your paperwork in check is a game-changer for financial planning. It’s a classic mix of banter and business — making money talk a little less boring, one episode at a time.

The Podfather Returns: Love in Leadership

This week on The Two Drunk Accountants, Tim sits down with leadership expert John Munden for a chat that swings from air fryers to Apple, and everything in between. They dive into the big stuff—empathy, kindness, connection—and how those warm-and-fuzzy words actually make a huge impact on team performance and business culture. John shares stories from his time working with companies like Xero and Apple, and why creating psychological safety at work isn’t just a buzzword—it’s essential. Plus, they get real about micromanagement, coaching, and why your team (and your relationships) probably just need a bit more love. Oh, and yes, we do talk about air fryers.

The Most Powerful Tool in Business - Love & Empathy

Dan and Tim sit down with the awesome Shari Elle to unpack this thing called Nonviolent Communication — or NVC for those of us who like to keep things snappy. And no, it’s not about yelling less at your coworkers (although... also yes). It’s about actually listening to people, understanding their needs, and not being a total muppet in tough convos.

They get into how this stuff can totally flip the script in both business and personal life. Think: more empathy, more connection, less passive-aggressive Slack messages. Shari drops some wisdom on how tuning into your own feelings (we have those?) can seriously level up how you talk to your team, your family, and maybe even your accountant.
