NEW YEAR - NEW GOALS

Did you make a New Year’s resolution this year? Maybe it was something classic, like exercising more or spending less time on your phone. But at Hills Accountants in Hobart we are concerned about your finances?

If you haven’t already added some financial goals to your 2025 resolution list, now’s the perfect time. And no, this isn’t about skipping coffee or living on noodles — it’s about setting practical, achievable goals that could make a real difference to your future.

Here are some ideas to inspire you (and how we at Hills Accountants in Hobart can help you turn them into reality).

1. “I Want to Finally Get on Top of My Budget”

Let’s face it—budgeting isn’t exactly the most exciting way to kick off the new year. But knowing where your money’s going is a game-changer. Maybe you’ve tried before and given up, or maybe spreadsheets aren’t your thing. That’s where we can help.

At Hills Accountants, we’re pros at helping you set up a realistic budget that works for your lifestyle. We’ll even show you how to stick to it without giving up all the fun stuff.

2. “I Need to Tackle My Debt”

Credit cards, loans, “buy now, pay later” schemes… debt can creep up on anyone. If paying it off feels like climbing a never-ending hill, you’re not alone. The good news? There’s a way down.

We’ll help you come up with a repayment plan that actually works—whether it’s prioritising high-interest debts or consolidating them into something more manageable.

3. “This Year, I’ll Actually Save Some Money”

Saving isn’t just for big-ticket items like holidays or a new car. It’s also about building that all-important rainy day fund. Life happens—cars break down, fridges stop working, and sometimes you just need a buffer.

We’ll help you work out how much to save, where to stash it, and how to stay consistent.

4. “I Want to Be Smarter with My Super”

Superannuation isn’t exactly cocktail party conversation, but it’s a big deal. If you’re not paying attention to yours, you could be missing out on thousands of dollars by the time you retire.

We’ll take the confusion out of super and show you how to make the most of it—whether it’s choosing the right fund or making smart contributions.

5. “I’m Ready to Start Investing”

Thinking about dipping your toes into the world of investing? It can feel like a minefield, especially if you’re worried about risks. But investing doesn’t have to be scary.

We’ll guide you through the basics, help you understand your options, and get you started on the path to growing your wealth.

6. “I Want to Prepare for the Unexpected”

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that life is unpredictable. Having a financial safety net can make all the difference. Whether it’s emergency savings, insurance, or estate planning, we’ll help you put a plan in place so you’re ready for whatever life throws at you.

7. “I Need to Get My Taxes Sorted”

Tax time is months away, but why wait until the last minute? Getting ahead on your tax planning now can save you stress—and money—down the track.

We’ll help you organise your records, maximise your deductions, and make sure you’re not paying more tax than you need to. Let Hills Accountants in Hobart Help You Keep Your Resolutions
