From Proactive ATO Alerts to Proven Restructuring Strategies
In this special session, you’ll hear from two industry experts Stan Corner, founder and CEO of ATOmate, and Hank de Jonge, founder and Executive Director of de Jonge Read®.
In times of financial uncertainty, early warning signs are often buried in routine ATO correspondence, missed PAYG instalment notices or overlooked debts. As a trusted adviser, you’re in a unique position to spot these red flags early and help clients act before insolvency becomes the only option. Stan will show how proactive communication is your first line of defense against financial distress and how ATOmate can help accounting practices to:
- Identify early indicators of financial distress through ATO document insights.
- Proactively communicate tax obligations to clients, reducing confusion and missed deadlines.
- Strengthen your position as a trusted adviser by protecting both you and your clients.
- Minimise the risk of escalation to DPNs or formal restructuring by taking action earlier.
- Automate routine ATO document handling so you can focus on strategic advice.
Distressed business owners often come to you overwhelmed, vulnerable, and fearing they’ll lose their business, their home, or their future. Many are convinced they’ve run out of options. They are looking for answers, clarity, and trust that you’ll guide them in making the right decisions for their business and their family. Hank will share a paradigm shift in how financial distress is managed – where insolvency, used strategically, can turn crisis into recovery, and distress into opportunity, creating clients for life. He will also explore how to move beyond the usual fixes and provide insights into a suite of options available to guide clients through uncertainty and into recovery:
- Why distress is an opportunity — not a dead end
- Smarter tools beyond payment plans
- Leverage refinancing to your advantage
- Strategic use of SBR, VA/DOCA, and business restructure
- Protecting both business and personal assets
- Strengthening your role as a trusted advisor
By making ATO communications timely, visible, and easy to act on, ATOmate helps you better support clients through financial uncertainty, often before they even realise they need help. de Jonge Read® will show you how you can turn those early earnings into decisive action with strategies that protect your client’s business and assets.
