Complexity matters
Our fees reflect the time and expertise required. A straightforward salary and wage return will cost less than a return involving multiple rentals, capital gains and business interests.
Fees
We aim to be fair, transparent and proportionate in our pricing. For most work, we agree the scope and expected fee before we start so there are no surprises.
The estimator below gives you a rough idea of fees for common scenarios. It is a guide only – we will still confirm the final fee once we have reviewed your full situation and records.

The number of trades helps us estimate the work involved in recording your share activity.
This covers preparing a small business schedule as part of your return.
The level of work can vary a lot depending on your setup (business size, GST registration, staff,
payroll software, multiple income streams). We will review your details and confirm a fee once we
understand
the complexity.
This is for a variation prepared on its own, outside of your year-end return.
This is for a variation done alongside the annual tax return.
2. Business quote details
This section is for companies, trusts and partnerships. We will confirm your final fee once we understand the structure and records in more detail.
Larger businesses typically involve more reporting, reconciliations and review work, so the
estimated fee
scales with turnover.
Standard year-end accounts and tax return package for a small to medium business.
The base fee for this starts at $800.
GST-registered businesses usually involve additional work (BAS review, GST reconciliations, coding
checks).
More staff means more payroll, superannuation and reporting work.
Each step up in staff numbers adds further work to the annual accounts and tax process.
If you provide benefits such as cars, entertainment or other fringe benefits,

This is a guide only and assumes standard complexity. Your actual invoice will be confirmed with you once we have reviewed your full information and records.
If the estimate feels out of line with your expectations, or your situation is more complex than these options cover, the simplest next step is to have a quick conversation so we can scope things properly.
How we approach pricing
Clarity up front
Wherever possible we provide an estimated fee or a fixed-fee quote before starting work. If the scope changes, we talk to you about it before we proceed further.
Value over the long term
We focus on the bigger picture: getting things right, avoiding ATO problems, and identifying planning opportunities that can save you money over time.
How we work with you
1. Understand your situation
We start by understanding your structure, income sources, records and goals. That allows us to price the engagement sensibly and avoid surprises later.
2. Agree scope and fee
We outline the work involved and provide an expected fee or fee range. For more complex work we may break it into stages so you can decide how far you want to go.
3. Deliver and review
Once the work is complete, we walk you through the outcomes and explain anything that needs attention for the next year. If future work is likely, we can also talk about an ongoing arrangement that suits you.
