Let’s call it like it is: it’s getting bloody expensive to run a business in Sydney.

Rents are up. Wages are rising. Insurance, software, utilities.. all climbing. And while costs are increasing fast… revenue? Not always keeping up.

But here’s the kicker: most business owners don’t actually know how rising costs are impacting their bottom line. They’re working harder, but profit’s shrinking. And it’s a slow bleed.

Here’s what I’m seeing across Sydney-based clients:

✅ Profit margins are down, even when revenue is up

✅ Owners are dipping into tax money to cover cash gaps

✅ There’s a real fear of growth because overheads feel out of control

📊 What can you do? Start with a Profit Assessment. Look at your real costs month by month.

Don’t just track them, question them. Are you pricing based on gut feel or real numbers? Are expenses actually serving you?

Don’t wait for EOFY to find out you worked your butt off for breadcrumbs.
