Hi There,

Hey team, great job on lodgements this year! As of writing, we have lodged 930 tax returns and 670 Activity Statements.

We still have a few days left for the concessional lodgements (5 June). Let's get them in Monday to allow time for the team to review.

Check out LodgeIQ to see what returns you have due and by when.

And if you need help, please read the article below on contacting us. Remember,  you can book a time if you need to go through anything. Help is here, just make sure you get your questions in sooner rather than later to avoid delays.

Let's get into it.

Reviewer Training

Reviewing work properly is its own skill, and most of us were never actually taught it. You pick it up as you go, make mistakes, and hope you catch the big stuff. We want to fix that.

We're putting together a Reviewer Training program for participants who want to really understand the review process: what good looks like, and why.

What you get:

• Up to 15% of your hours, working on actual returns, real experience, not theory.
• A proper understanding of the review process, so you know exactly what reviewers are looking for.
• Sharper work of your own. Once you can review, your returns come back cleaner with less rework.

How it runs: a live online group plus an exclusive WhatsApp group where we work through it together. Armin, who you all know, is part of the group, so you're learning from someone who does this every day.

It's a paid, structured program (full details to come), with a few prerequisites and a genuine commitment to show up and do the work. We're keeping it small on purpose.

Keen? Jump into the WhatsApp group here and we'll talk it through.

Tax Agent Hub

As with any tech, this is taking longer than expected. We are hiring a developer to help get this finished and out for FY 2026 lodgements. 

Client Acquisition 

 We've been trialling client acquisition to bring you clients for hours and income.

Honest picture: it's hard. 78 leads, 1 converted so far, a few more in play. That strike rate isn't us going quiet, it's the reality of turning cold interest into paying clients, and it's exactly why your own acquisition skills matter too.

We're learning what works and we'll bring you the lessons. 

Your Profile

Reminder:

I'm building a Meet Our Practitioners page on The Accounting Academy website and I want you on it.

Why should I do this?

Free marketing for your practice. The Accounting Academy gets between 300 and 1,000 website visitors every week, people actively searching for tax agents, BAS agents, and bookkeeping services. Your profile links directly to your website. That's warm traffic you don't have to pay for.

Instant credibility. Being listed as a Supervised Practitioner of a registered tax agent with 20+ years experience, Xero Platinum Partner status, and a TPB-registered practice tells prospective clients exactly what kind of professional you are. It does the selling for you.

It answers the question before it's asked. When potential clients Google you, they'll find your profile and see exactly who supervises your work and what that means. No more explaining the model from scratch.

What I need from you

All it takes is 2 minutes. Fill in this form and I'll take care of the rest.

LinkedIn: Add The Academy

While you're at it, please update your LinkedIn to reflect your role correctly. The title to use is:

Supervised Practitioner — The Accounting Academy

And add The Accounting Academy to your experience section. Here's a suggested description you can use or adapt:

Currently completing a structured supervision program with The Accounting Academy, a Chartered Accountant firm, registered Tax Agent, and Xero Platinum Partner. As part of the program I prepare and lodge tax returns and BAS statements under direct professional supervision, gaining the hands-on experience required by the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) toward full registration. The Accounting Academy provides supervision, technical training, compliance frameworks, and access to a national community of 60+ practitioners across Australia.

This shows up in searches, adds credibility to your profile, and connects you to the broader network.

Wrapping Up

Well, that's a wrap for the month. Well done once again! 

As always, if you get stuck, don't go quiet. Jump in the WhatsApp group, fire off an email, or book a session. We're here.

Have a great day!

Cheers,

Daniel
