Webinars

Practical insights for advisors supporting clients through financial distress, restructuring and exit decisions.

2026 Webinar Series

Our monthly webinars are designed for advisors supporting business owners and directors dealing with debt challenges, financial pressure and complex decision-making. Each session responds to current conditions and real advisory scenarios, providing practical insights that advisors can apply when guiding clients through restructuring, recovery or exit decisions.

Led by the de Jonge Read® team and trusted industry experts, each session focuses on real-world advisory scenarios, emerging risks and practical decision-making. The goal is to help advisors identify issues earlier, understand the available options, and guide clients with confidence before problems escalate. These sessions are educational, practical and grounded in current client matters — not theory.

Our webinars are typically attended by advisors who work with business owners and directors, including:

  • Accountants and accounting firms
  • Bookkeepers and BAS agents

  • Business advisors and consultants

  • Finance and mortgage brokers

  • Professionals supporting SMEs in financial difficulty

If you advise clients experiencing cash-flow pressure, ATO debt, creditor demands or structural issues, these sessions are designed for you.

Previous webinar speakers and co-hosts have included representatives from the Australian Taxation Office, alongside industry-leading accountants, bookkeepers, lawyers, financiers and other relevant professionals, as well as the experienced de Jonge Read® team. This broad mix of regulatory, technical and practical perspectives ensures each session delivers balanced, commercially relevant insight.

Webinars are usually held on the 4th Thursday of each month and, by popular demand, are delivered in two live sessions at 10am (AEST) and 1pm (AEST). CPD points are available for all sessions. For advisors who are unable to attend either live session, a recording is published on our website in the days following the event, allowing you to stay informed at a time that suits you.

Ashley Shield

10:00am and 1:00pm (AEST)

Hosted by Ashley Shield, this session take a practical look at what EOFY means for advisors with distressed clients, examining both the business side and personal financial position of the individuals behind those businesses

With pressure on Australian small businesses likely continuing into another financial year, the recent federal budget has added a new layer of complexity for advisors trying to assess where your clients actually stand. The measures announced offer some relief in specific areas, but for businesses and individuals already carrying financial stress, the risk environment at EOFY remains high.

Key insights you’ll gain:

🔹 How the federal budget’s key measures affect businesses under financial pressure, and where the relief falls short for clients already in difficulty
🔹 Which businesses are most at risk heading into EOFY 2026, and the warning signs advisors should be checking now
🔹 How financial distress plays out differently for businesses versus the individuals connected to them, including directors, guarantors, and personal liability exposure
🔹 What options are available at EOFY for clients in distress, whether the issue sits at the business level, the personal level, or both
🔹 How to approach the EOFY conversation with a client whose position may be worse than it appears, and when to bring in specialist support

Walk away with a practical framework for identifying which clients need more than an EOFY review, and the confidence to act on both the business and personal side before 30 June.
