Accounting & Taxation

Accounting

Many small and medium-sized business owners rely on us not only for our accounting skills and management experience, but also for our specialist knowledge of taxation and corporate legislation. While we always ensure that financial reports are suitable for submission to relevant stakeholders and third parties, our key objective is to present our clients with useful financial reports.

Choose from one of three ways to tap into our accountancy services:

1. We provide advice and workload relief as well as looking after your routine bookkeeping tasks.
2. We provide a full bookkeeping service including the preparation of monthly management reports via Cloud Accounting solutions such as Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks™.
3. We provide monthly management reports based on the bookkeeping and accounting records that you supply us. These reports can include variance analysis, budget analysis, recommendations and forecasts.

In many cases, our clients take advantage of our in-house information management and computer-based accounting solutions to more effectively utilise their cashflow, resources and also to obtain timely accounting information for decision making.

Taxation

Our reputation as a leading accounting and taxation advisory firm is founded on sound taxation advice.

We take great care to ensure our clients are advised of any new legislation immediately it comes into force and often provide constructive advice prior to new laws taking effect.

We can take care of the following:

• Income Tax
• GST
• Tax on Capital Gains
• Stamp Duty
• Fringe Benefits Tax
• Payroll Tax
• Superannuation Guarantee Charge
• Land Tax

Because of the complexity and changing nature of taxation legislation, we give our staff regular training, supported by a comprehensive in-house library and access to specialist consultants. We also act as agents for our clients in dealings with the Australian Taxation Office, Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the various State Revenue Offices.

We regularly consult on taxation matters such as:

• Business Structures
• Disposal & Acquisition of Assets
• Retirement Planning
• Salary Packaging
• Negative Gearing
• Shares & Options Issues
• Small Business Capital Gains Tax Concessions
• Estate Planning
• Succession Planning

We also frequently engage with our clients in providing taxation planning advice, including advice on tax-efficient investments and tax-effective entities.
