About Us

Since 1994, SoundCartel Pty Ltd (formerly BE Media Production) has used its expertise in audio production and content creation to deliver timely information to Australian accountants across the country as well as those living overseas via the two audio series, Business in Focus and Tax in Focus.

The aim has always been to deliver concise, practical and relevant information to busy accountants in a cost-effective and convenient manner – allowing accountants to keep up their continuing professional development (CPD) while on the move.

Back in the beginning, monthly programs were delivered on via audio cassettes, but as the years progressed these cassettes became CDs, and today accountants still utilise CDs for their convenience in the car – but many also listen online or via our dedicated mobile app.

SoundCartel and Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand have had a working relationship for more than two decades and offered Business in Focus and Tax in Focus to its members to help them earn valuable CPD hours. Tax training specialists from Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand prepare and present the monthly tax updates and development on Tax Essentials.

For Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand members, listening to these audio series qualifies for 22 hours of CPD each year.

Both Business in Focus and Tax in Focus are delivered monthly (December/January combined) and presented in an easy-to-listen-to interview format, making it the most convenient way for you to stay up-to-date with critical tax changes and developments in business.

In addition to using the practical information to grow their own businesses, many subscribers also use it as the basis of discussion points with clients.

You can listen to free excerpts from every podcast style interview from Business in Focus and Tax in Focus now from this website or by downloading our mobile app:
