At Illumin8

Every year I take some time over the Christmas break to pause and ponder - what will define the year ahead for Illumin8? This year, I believe is the year of being better, together.

Lifestyle

We love to support local clients and their businesses, especially as we get closer to Christmas! This year we want to spread the love and promote the amazing products they create.

Your Business

We don't have to tell you twice that Christmas is a crazy time of year. Whether your business is super busy or not busy enough, the season can feel overwhelming. We've compiled some tips to nudge you in the right direction!

At Illumin8

We don't need much convincing to throw a party, and celebrating with the Illumin8 extended family is a pretty great excuse.

Your Business

The first and most important thing to understand is that the business account is only for the business – it is not your personal bank account. Unless you are a sole trader, the money in the account is not your money. 

Xero

As good as any excuse to get to Brisbane is to a bunch of Victorian accountants, #defrosting, Xerocon continually proves to be so much more than a conference with weather perks.

Lifestyle

What better way to break up the morning commute, or unwind on the weekend than listening to a podcast about… money. Are we right? Stay with us here. Financial podcasts can be interesting. Dare we say it, entertaining!

Superannuation

You've probably heard us talk about Xero.. Maybe a lot? But why do we keep going on about? And why do make it the software of choice for Illumin8? Well, it's not an exhaustive list, but here's a few reason how Xero can help you!
