Testimonials
What makes your firm unique?
We combine decades of experience gained in the Big 4 and large corporates and apply the same level of quality to our SME clients. We believe that every business has the potential to grow into a successful, profitable business.
My situation is complex and difficult. Is that a problem?
No. We have decades of experience in dealing with some of the most difficult tax and accounting questions and finding workable solutions for our clients. Call us to discuss.
Do you do individual income tax returns?
As a specialist business accounting firm, we generally don’t usually take on income tax returns if you’re just a PAYG earner – we recommend either using a service such as ITP or doing it yourself online, check out our tax planning guide. However, if you own investment properties then we may be ale to assist. Give us call to discuss.
Can you help me get my Melbourne business off the ground?
We certainly can! We’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs and start ups get their idea off the ground and become highly successful businesses.
Do I need accounting software?
The simple answer is yes. Whether we like it or not, the world is moving towards fully electronic business reporting, so a spreadsheet or old desk top software will no longer suffice. The ATO is moving rapidly towards real time, electronic reporting.
What’s the best accounting software for SMEs?
We believe Xero is the best software for growing Australian businesses. Its powerful enough to run a large business but intuitive to learn.
Do you take on very small businesses?
Yes we do. We’ve helped many small businesses grow their businesses from the kitchen table to a global enterprises.
Which states do your operate in?
While our HQ is based in Sydney, NSW, we serve all states across Australia. Even prior to COVID we built our business around being able to offer our clients and staff flexibility. To us, it is more important to get the job done with the highest quality – no matter where were located.
