Owner with limited time
You are busy running the business and the tax and compliance side is always in the background. BAS, payroll, super and ATO notices feel like a constant distraction and stress point.
Small business accounting & tax
Practical accounting support for companies, trusts and sole traders across Victoria. We focus on clarity in your numbers, control over your obligations and steady progress in your business.
Is this you?
Structure not quite right
You started as a sole trader or a simple company and things have grown. You suspect the structure, drawings and dividends could be set up better for tax efficiency and asset protection, but are not sure where to start.
Profits but no cash
The business looks profitable on paper but cashflow feels tight. You want clearer visibility over where the money is going, what is driving the numbers and what can be improved.
How we help small business owners
Day-to-day compliance
We keep your core obligations under control so you are not worrying about the ATO and can focus on running the business:
- BAS and IAS preparation and lodgement
- GST and PAYG withholding obligations
- Payroll and superannuation compliance
- Company and trust tax returns and financial statements
Better structure & drawings
We review how your business and personal affairs are set up so that:
- Profits are taxed as efficiently as possible
- Shareholders, unit holders and beneficiaries are considered properly
- Director’s loans, dividends and wages are handled correctly
- Risk is sensibly separated from family assets where possible
Planning, not just history
Tax is only one part of the story. We help you look forward as well as backward, so you can make informed decisions and keep the business moving:
- Estimate tax before year end so there are fewer surprises
- Model the impact of paying down debt, buying assets or hiring staff
- Work with your bookkeeper or internal team to improve reporting
How we work with you
1. Initial review
We review your current structure, recent financials and tax returns, and talk through your goals and pain points. This gives us a clear picture of where things stand and where the pressure points are.
2. Priority actions
We outline practical, priority steps – what to fix first, what can wait, and where the biggest tax and risk wins are. You stay in control of how much you want to implement and when.
3. Ongoing support
We handle your ongoing lodgements and are available throughout the year for questions. As your business changes, we revisit structure, profit flows and tax planning so your accounting support keeps pace with your progress.
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 and you know where you stand.
How we approach pricing
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.
Clarity up front
Wherever possible we provide an estimated fee or a fixed-fee quote before starting work, so you have clarity on likely costs from the outset. 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 – supporting real progress in your business, not just a once-a-year lodgement.
