Facilit8 - Business Networking Perth

🧠 What every business owner should know about the new AML and CTF regulations.

At F8 Mt Hawthorn Business Networking Breakfast, Claire from C&R Settlements broke down exactly what conveyancers are now responsible for, and it's a lot more than most people realise.

Key takeaway: these regulations aren't just a conveyancer's problem. They affect anyone buying, selling, or transferring property. Staying informed protects everyone involved.

Thank you, Claire, for making a complex and heavy topic genuinely digestible.

🌱 You're Invited! Community Planting Day 🌱

See you there! 🌿

Great session today at F8 North Beach with LinkedIn coach Kanika!

A powerful reminder of three fundamentals that separate tire-kickers from real opportunities:

🐟 Fish in the right pond – know where your people actually are.
💎 Create value first – give before you ask.
🤝 Don't pitch on the first connection – build trust, not transactions.

Sometimes the best takeaways are the ones you already know but need to hear again. Thanks to everyone who showed up, engaged, and made this session what it was.

Our Morley group recently had the pleasure of hearing Auriana's personal journey.

Auri is the operator of Books by Auri, and provides bookkeeping, BAS, payroll and Xero support for growing trade and service-based businesses across Perth.

Within our Facilit8 groups we place a lot of emphasis on people's personal journeys, the decision that brought them to running their business or being engaged in the role they are. This is often much more important than what they do at work.

People refer to people they trust before they recommend a brand or a company.

Our longest-standing member, Dan Gerson from Quest Advisory Group, is riding 200km from The Kingsman (Perth CBD) to Mandurah.

We are exceptionally proud to throw our support behind him, and we'd love it if you could too. Be it by sharing this post, commenting, tagging a mate, or even donating to Dan's campaign.

Together, we can support Dan, supporting those fighting cancer, his real inspiration.

He's 20kg down with one big ride ahead. All funds raised go to the very deserving Harry Perkins Institute.

Welcome to the Morley group, Auri!

Auri is the owner of Books By Auri, a Perth-based bookkeeping and BAS agent business supporting growing trade and service-based businesses. She helps busy business owners keep their books clean, BAS sorted, payroll organised and numbers clear, without the jargon or judgement.

Auri works with clients who are great at what they do, but need more structure behind the scenes. Her focus is on practical financial support that helps business owners understand where their money is going, reduce admin stress, and feel more in control of the day-to-day backend of their business.

Warm, direct, and refreshingly clear, Auri brings a calm-but-capable approach to bookkeeping — because business owners should not need a finance degree to understand their own numbers.
