Two Drunk Accountants

Today, we have Sam Petrusma from Made by Beings filling in for Dan. Sam and Tim explore the practical applications of AI in business, addressing common misconceptions, current capabilities, and future potential. They share insights from Sam's innovative AI projects and discuss how small businesses can leverage AI for efficiency and growth.

 

Between holiday destinations, Dan has dropped by the studio to record with Tim, tune in for a delightfully unhinged episode. 

While Dan is away on his Honeymoon, we have Chloe & Tim diving into the wonderful world of Child Care Subsidies (CCS) — because apparently raising children wasn't expensive enough already.

They unpack how CCS is actually calculated, why your income might not be what Centrelink thinks it is, and how things like salary packaging, fringe benefits, extra super, and investment property losses can affect your subsidy.

The pair also tackle the big question many parents ask themselves: "Is it even worth going back to work?" when childcare costs, tax, and daycare sickness seem determined to eat every extra dollar you earn.

Plus, they throw around a few ideas on how to fix the system, including whether childcare should simply be tax deductible.

This is one not to be missed!

 

We have Joel in the hot seat today, while Dan is away. Tim and Joel are talking The First Home Super Saver, she is back in the news, and we thought it timely to recap on who and what this scheme is. 

This week we discuss confusion about how to structure your business in the wake of the budget announcements. Should your plans change? What is the best structure for you? Plus an extended intro on the Space X IPO.
