Pro-active tax advice reaps rewards
We provide a friendly, efficient tax service for individuals, partnerships, companies, trusts and super funds. We have over 20 years experience in tax matters and we take a pro-active approach to share and property tax planning. Tax strategies include negative gearing and capital tax gain strategies. We also use electronic lodgement to ensure tax returns are quick and accurate.
Everything you need to manage your super
Self-managed superannuation funds are our speciality – setting them up, administering them and ensuring they meet all the appropriate standards, including the Superannuation Insurance Supervision Act (SIS) and Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) requirements, and the stringent tax laws.
Tax-friendly new business
Setting up a business or buying one is a big decision. We can help you reap the full reward from your business by putting in place the tax structure that best meets your needs. We have many years of experience helping small and medium sized businesses do just this. We can set up your company, as well as family trusts, unit trusts and super funds.
Keeping on track with BAS and GST
We offer full bookkeeping support. This includes cost-efficient monthly, quarterly and annual accounting, plus preparation and lodgement of BAS.
Business planning
We can also go one step further and help you develop your business plans and budgets. If you need business advice we can provide it too.
Auditing
We can audit your self-managed super fund and Solicitors Trust Accounts. Formal company audits can be arranged with associated professionals.
Arranging finance
Over the years, we have built up close relationships with related businesses. This means we can help you secure finance and brokerage services, as well as other services. We can connect you with good, reputable firms if you need such services.
What it costs
Our fees are moderate compared with those of other Sydney accounting firms. We charge on a time-basis and usually invoice once the job is complete. For larger assignments, we invoice regularly as the work progresses. If we feel we haven’t been efficient we won’t invoice you for the extra time taken. This way you get excellent value, given the experience and thoroughness we bring to our work. We can also give you a good estimate in advance.
