Hidden Landmines in Business: How Bad Bookkeeping Can Sink You | Lisa Cavill

In this episode of Right Brain Insights, host David Maher sits down with Lisa Cavill, founder of Cavill & Co, to expose the hidden financial risks that can quietly destroy your business — and how to avoid them.

Lisa has spent nearly a decade helping business owners clean up financial messes, avoid government penalties, and turn their books into powerful tools for decision-making. But bookkeeping is no longer just data entry — it's a frontline defense against debt, fraud, and business collapse.

You’ll discover:

  • The #1 compliance mistake small businesses make

  • How poor record-keeping can trigger tax debt, fines, and even criminal charges

  • Why trusting the wrong bookkeeper can ruin your business (and how they steal)

  • The dangers of outdated payroll, hidden superannuation risks, and unreported BAS

  • How to survive an ATO audit or small business restructure

  • Why business owners MUST understand their numbers to avoid disaster

If you run a business, especially in trades, construction, or services — this is essential viewing. Your financials are more than numbers — they’re your safety net.
