End of financial year is the ideal time to invest in your business IT. Equipment purchases are tax-deductible, and upgrading now means you start the new financial year with reliable, fast technology. Here's what to prioritise.
If your business computers are more than 4-5 years old, they're costing you in productivity even if they still "work." Slow machines waste staff time every single day. Modern business laptops and desktops with SSDs and current processors are dramatically faster and more reliable. The instant asset write-off means you can claim the full cost this financial year.
If full replacement isn't in the budget, upgrading existing machines from traditional hard drives to SSDs is the best bang-for-buck upgrade available. We regularly do SSD upgrades for Townsville businesses — most machines can be upgraded in under an hour with zero data loss, and the performance improvement is immediately noticeable.
Are you on the right M365 plan for your business? Many businesses are either paying for features they don't use or missing out on security features they need. EOFY is a good time to review your licencing with us and make sure you're getting value for money.
When did you last review your network security? Firewalls need updating, Wi-Fi access points age out, and security policies should evolve with your business. A pre-EOFY security audit lets you identify and claim any necessary upgrades before June 30.
If you don't have a proper backup system, EOFY is the time to fix that. NAS devices, cloud backup subscriptions, and UPS units are all tax-deductible business expenses. The cost of a good backup system is a fraction of what data loss would cost you.
We offer free consultations to help Townsville businesses plan their EOFY IT spending. We'll assess what needs replacing, what can be upgraded, and what's still fine — so you spend smart and claim everything you're entitled to.
