In this edition of BK Pod, Peter and Kerrie provide an update on the confirmed closure of the SBSCH, which will occur at midnight on 30 June 2026, regardless of Payday Super legislation timing. With over 250,000 employers needing to transition to a new Clearing House, bookkeepers will play a crucial role in educating clients, offering advice, and in some cases, implementing new solutions. The focus now is communication, with the ATO expected to ramp up messaging in the lead-up to the shutdown.

The second half of the podcast previews the Build, Grow, Succeed Roadshow, taking place in five cities this October. The event delivers practical, non-software content for bookkeepers, including sessions on succession planning, compliance updates, and business growth strategies. Dale Dixon highlights MYOB’s support of the event, emphasising its educational focus. A live panel session, interactive learning, and CPD hours make the roadshow a valuable development opportunity, alongside networking with fellow professionals.
