With a federal budget just around the corner, we begin the program with a preview from our resident economist, Professor Neville Norman. He asks businesses to take heed of four major things when it’s delivered by Treasurer Jim Chalmers later this month.

Also this month, Peter Angelini explains how his accounting firm, Stannards, has helped their clients secure finance from lenders. Sandra Blake has free help for businesses struggling with debt via the Small Business Debt Helpline.

Danny Lessem of ELMO Software says the job market is starting to tighten. The new rules around flexible work arrangements also bring new obligations for business owners, according to Mazars’ Cheryl-Anne Laird.

There are new rules, too, concerning what you can include in a job ad, says Matthew Addison of COSBOA. We have the remarkable story of Melo Calarco whose resilience in the face of hairy travel adventures translate into business lessons.

And we finish the program with Les Watson, aka the Time Lord, on delegating for better productivity.
