Your business benchmark

Based on 60 landscapers across Australia, June 2026. Member for 12 months. Confidence: established.

You are running a healthy, well-paid business, and it is getting stronger.

You get paid faster than most landscapers your size and you have shaved eight days off that over the year. Tax and super are on track. One thing worth an eye: your revenue leans on a few large clients.

Getting paid

You get paid in about 38 days, down from 46 a year ago. Here is where that puts you among landscapers like you:

Fastest quarter: 30

You: 38

Typical: 46

Faster than about 7 in 10 of your peers, and your year-long trend is heading the right way:

Your cash gap

Days to get paid (DSO)	38 days (cohort median 46)
Days you take to pay suppliers (DPO)	30 days (cohort median 33)
Cash gap you fund yourself	8 days (was 16 a year ago)

What this means. You get paid in about 38 days but pay your suppliers in about 30, so you fund roughly an 8-day gap out of your own pocket. A year ago that gap was 16 days, so you have halved the stretch your own cash has to cover.

This year vs last year

With a full year of history, your report now compares each month with the same month last year.

Revenue this quarter	$287,000 (cohort median $312,000)
Revenue vs last year	+8.0% (cohort median +6.0%)
Invoices raised this quarter	31 (cohort median 27)
Average invoice size	$9,270 (cohort median $11,580)

Your busy season

Each month against your own average (=100), so the shape compares regardless of size. Your peak runs later and higher than the typical landscaper, and your winter trough is softer.

Why this is useful. Knowing how your quiet months compare with everyone else's helps you tell "normal for the season" from "something changed in my business".

Tuned to you

After a year, the benchmark has learned your own normal range. Instead of comparing you only with averages, it can gently flag when something drifts outside what is usual for you.

A gentle flag, not an alarm. June's getting-paid time edged just above your usual range. That can be as simple as one large invoice or a client on holidays. It is flagged so you can glance at it early, while it is easy to sort.

Customer concentration

Measure	You	Cohort median	A year ago
Top customer share	18%	11%	16%
Top-5 customer share	45%	28%	41%
Top-10 customer share	57%	42%	55%
Distinct customers	48	73	44

Something to keep an eye on. Your revenue leans on a few clients more than most peers do, and that lean has crept up over the year. Landscapers with a wider spread of clients tend to see steadier cash flow. It is the kind of thing worth a chat with your accountant or bookkeeper.

Tax and super

What you currently owe, and how your GST compares. This shows amounts owing, not whether you have enough set aside.

GST owing	$27,800
PAYG withholding owing	$11,200
Super owing	$8,000
GST as share of revenue	9.0% (cohort median 8.8%)
