Turning EOFY into big opportunities with Ngaire Turnbull


Listen Later

The end of financial year can easily become one giant checklist.

  • Update your fees.
  • Review payroll.
  • Read the latest Fair Work announcements.
  • Talk to your accountant.
  • Tick the boxes.

and then.....move on.

But what if we're missing one of the biggest opportunities of the year?

In this episode I'm joined by one of my closest friends and long-time business sounding boards, Ngaire Turnbull. Ngaire spent 14 years as a practice owner and comes from a family deeply rooted in small business. Every conversation I have with her leaves me thinking differently about business, and this one was no exception.

Together we unpack why the start of a new financial year is about much more than compliance. It's a chance to pause, reflect and make intentional decisions about the health of your practice, not just financially, but personally as well.

We also have a very honest conversation about something many practice owners experience but rarely admit: the fear, shame and overwhelm that can come when the numbers aren't where you hoped they would be.

If you've ever laid awake wondering how you're going to make everything work, this episode is for you.

In this episode we discuss:
  • Why EOFY shouldn't just be another checklist.
  • The opportunities that come from reflecting on the past 12 months.
  • Why so many practice owners avoid looking at their numbers.
  • The emotional impact of financial stress in business.
  • How knowledge can replace fear and help you make better decisions.
  • The financial indicators Ngaire watched most closely throughout the year.
  • The importance of tracking the right numbers, but not every number!

Whether you're feeling confident about your numbers or avoiding opening your profit and loss report altogether, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not alone, and that sometimes the smallest habits create the biggest changes.

If you'd like more practical support around understanding your numbers, creating a financially healthy practice and running your business with both confidence and compassion, I'd love to welcome you into The Connection community.
