Australian accounting blogs come in a range of shapes and sizes and cover a huge variety of different topics. From small business advice to detailed updates on legislation changes, there’s something for everyone. Here we round up some of our favourite Aussie accountancy bloggers, who are keeping Australia up to date on all kinds of financial matters.
Consolid8 blog
Based in Brisbane, Consolid8 prides itself on being a collective of accountants with personality. Their abundance of personality and client-focused approach is reflected in their blog and the type of topics covered. From detailed guides on Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) to tips on how business owners can get the most out of their accountants.
We’d recommend you check out this blog post first: Start the New Financial Year by building a Business Budget
Etax Accountants
The clue is in the name with the Etax Accountants’ blog – Tax Tips. A one-stop-shop for all things tax related, their blog is packed with helpful information for business owners. Etax is an Australian online tax return agent, so it’s safe to say they know pretty much everything there is to know about the subject.

Heather Smith
Friend of Float, writer, podcaster and accountant Heather Smith is one of the most prolific Aussie accountant bloggers. Heather’s blog covers a wealth of helpful topics aimed specifically at those working in the accounting world. With regular guest posts from her extensive network, Heather’s blog answers every accounting question you could possibly think of.
Call us biased but we’re particularly big fans of this interview with Float’s very own Dylan Burgess – Supporting Your Clients and Yourself Through Uncertainty
Illumin8 blog
Another good mate of Float, the Illumin8 blog is where accountancy meets the millennial generation. Fun and funky but also packed with valuable content, this blog imparts plenty of wisdom in an easily digestible way. If you want to be suitably entertained whilst catching up on the latest accounting and business news, this is the blog for you.
Here’s a great example to check out – JobKeeper Update 1.1.6 (or what feels like 3.14159265359)
BlueRock BlueBlog
On a similar thread, if somewhat more psychedelic, the BlueRock blog is both a feast for the eyes and the brain. Our friends at BlueRock post frequent articles to keep readers bang up to date with the latest changes to legislation and there’s plenty of useful content for business owners too.
Never one to shy away from a quirky title, we particularly like this one – Returning To Work With The Known Knowns, Known Unknowns And Unknown Unknowns Of COVID (we couldn’t have put it better ourselves!)
Off The Hook Bookkeeping Small Business Blog
Off The Hook’s CEO Amy Hooke is happy to share her valuable insights into the world of bookkeeping. Aimed at small business owners, Amy’s blog articles are useful and easy to understand.
This one is a great example of Amy’s own experience and expertise coming to the fore – Common Bookkeeping Mistakes We Discovered in 90% of Xero, Quickbooks and MYOB Files
BASic Bookkeepers blog
Finally, the BASic Bookkeepers blog is a must-read for business owners looking for a no nonsense approach to bookkeeping matters. Pack with real, actionable tips to help business survive and thrive in a post-pandemic world, this blog covers a broad range of subjects and always delivers helpful advice.
