Backbone Business Systems FNQ

End of the week. One question 👇

One word that describes where your business is right now.

Could be anything — growing, tired, busy, stuck, rebuilding, excited.

Drop it in the comments. No wrong answers.

Whatever FY25 looked like — FY26 is a fresh start.

The businesses that use June well walk into July already ahead.

Have a good one. 🌿

Something I've noticed over the last 12 months:

The businesses that improve fastest aren't the ones in the best shape at the start.

They're the ones where the owner is willing to look at the numbers — even when it's uncomfortable.

The systems are simple. The data is there. The margin improvement is almost always findable.

The variable is willingness to look.

27 days to EOFY.

I don't do hard sells — but I'll be direct:

If your margins haven't been reviewed this financial year, those 27 days matter.

Free 60-min review still available. Stock, margin, EOFY position, FY26 planning.

No pitch. No obligation. Just clarity.

5 weeks to EOFY — this is the stock window that matters.

Aged stock cleared before 30 June reduces your closing stock value.
Aged stock still sitting on 30 June is on your balance sheet at full cost.

For businesses with $30k–$80k in slow-moving inventory, that's a meaningful difference.

Not sure what's sitting there? That's exactly what a review covers.

End of the week question for business owners in FNQ 👇

What's one thing your business does better than anyone else in your area?

Comment below — I'd genuinely love to read them.

Running a business in regional Queensland takes a different kind of toughness.

I see it every week in the business owners I work with.

That resilience deserves better systems behind it.

Have a good weekend. 🌿

— Emma

The businesses that start FY26 strongest are doing this in June:

1. Review what actually happened in FY25 (margins, stock, supplier costs)
2. Set a clear baseline for FY26
3. Make one structural change before the year starts

June isn't wind-down time. It's planning time.

Happy to cover this in the free review.

When did you last formally review your supplier pricing?

Not a quick chat — a structured comparison.

Most businesses I work with: 12–24 months ago.

In a $2M business, a 2% improvement across key suppliers = $40,000.

That conversation is worth having.
