Acacia Blue
Lodgments, disclosures and deadlines: tracked and managed, so you can get on with the work that matters. A single point of contact for financial management, tax compliance and electoral funding and disclosure requirements, coordinated with qualified legal advisers where a formal position is needed.
Four groups, four different sets of obligations, each one covered in detail.
Community groups and values-aligned organisations building capability for the long term, not just one election cycle.
Campaigns standing a candidate for the first time, setting up structures, accounts and disclosure obligations from a standing start.
Elected independents with ongoing disclosure, reporting and office obligations that don't stop once the election is over.
Third-party campaigners spending above the disclosure threshold, with expenditure caps that shift depending on the candidate or issue supported and need precise, ongoing tracking.
One of the groups above, and what Acacia Blue looks like for it.
Community Group
A youth-led initiative building the next generation of Australia's independent movement, making community campaigning accessible to young people setting up their first structures. Acacia Blue provides the compliance and accounting backbone so the team can focus on building the movement.
youngindies.org →Knowledge Hub, Advisory and Accounting Services come together for one monthly retainer, so there's one place responsible for closing the gap between an accountant, a lawyer and a spreadsheet, not three.
Practical guidance, templates, FAQs and training covering a campaign's whole lifecycle, from establishment to wind-down. A single front door, with referral to a named specialist whenever a question needs one.
Compliance built into how an organisation actually operates day to day: electoral funding and disclosure requirements across federal and every state jurisdiction, disclosure timing, and the questions that come up along the way, coordinated with qualified advisers.
Reconciliations, BAS and the accounts kept current every month, turned into the cashflow and budget-versus-actual reporting you need to see where things stand and decide what's next.
All three, together, for one monthly retainer. See how it fits together →
