This service level is usually suitable if you are employed, receive investment income, hold shares or managed funds, own investment properties, or have had a capital gains event during the year. If you're unsure, this is often the right starting point.
This service level is usually suitable if you operate under your own ABN, invoice clients directly, and want annual compliance handled properly — with optional BAS support during the year.
This service level is usually suitable if you operate through a company, trust, or partnership and want ongoing support — not just a year-end job. Business owners typically have more complex obligations that benefit from regular attention throughout the year.
For most business clients, we recommend starting with a monthly package, then adding bookkeeping, payroll, and advisory support as needed. This keeps your compliance on track and gives you a clear picture of your obligations throughout the year.
Each package is designed for one entity — one company or one trust. If you operate through multiple entities, each entity requires its own package. All packages are billed monthly from 1 July each financial year, so costs are spread evenly and predictable.
Each company or trust is covered by its own package. Multiple entities are each quoted separately.
All packages are billed monthly from 1 July each financial year for consistent, predictable costs.
Bookkeeping, payroll, and advisory support can be added to any package as your needs grow.
Suitable for simpler entities that mainly need annual compliance handled properly — such as a holding company, investment trust, or family entity with limited activity during the year.
Suitable for active small businesses that are GST registered and need quarterly BAS support throughout the year. If you are trading regularly and filing BAS each quarter, this package keeps you covered.
Suitable for businesses with both IAS and BAS obligations during the year — such as those with employees, PAYG withholding requirements, and regular tax instalments. This is the right fit for most actively trading businesses with staff.
Every engagement includes careful review, quality checking, and direct responsibility for your lodgements.
We stay in contact throughout the year — not just at tax time — to flag issues and keep you informed.
We carry professional responsibility for the accuracy and timeliness of your lodgements and records.
For companies, trusts, and partnerships that need annual tax returns and financial statements prepared and lodged correctly. These fees apply where you are not on a monthly business package.
SMSF compliance requires annual financial statements, a tax return, member statements, and coordination with an independent auditor. We handle the full preparation and lodgement process on your behalf.
A quarterly form lodged with the ATO to report GST collected and paid. Required if your business is registered for GST.
A monthly form for businesses that withhold tax from employee wages or make PAYG income tax instalments.
An annual report required if your business pays contractors in building, cleaning, courier, IT, or security industries.
Accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping means your BAS, tax, and reporting are smoother — and there's far less catch-up work at year end. Our bookkeeping is reconciliation-based and priced by monthly transaction volume.
Suitable for businesses with employees who want wages, payslips, super, and STP lodgement handled correctly and consistently. A payroll event means one pay run for one employee — for example, one employee paid weekly creates four events per month.
These services are for business owners who want more than compliance — forward-looking support that helps you make better decisions before they become expensive ones.
Includes review of YTD profit, recommendations on timing, deductions, contributions and distributions, and a written summary of actions before year end.
Scoped engagement on a defined topic, including a meeting, analysis, and written deliverable.
12-month forward budget or cash flow model, key assumptions documented, and one review meeting included.
Some tax matters sit outside standard annual compliance. These are areas with specific ATO rules, real penalties for getting them wrong, and timelines that don't always align with the usual year-end process.
Below is a plain explanation of each service — what it is, when it applies, what it costs, and what happens if you ignore it.
Director loan rules for private companies
Fringe Benefits Tax on non-cash employee benefits
Capital Gains Tax on property, shares, or business assets
Superannuation Guarantee Charge for late super payments
International Dealing Schedule for overseas related-party transactions
Division 7A is a tax rule that applies when a private company lends money to, or pays personal expenses for, its shareholders, directors, or their associates. This most commonly arises when a director draws money from the company or uses company funds for personal expenses — even informally.
The ATO can treat the entire amount as an unfranked deemed dividend — meaning you pay tax at your marginal rate (up to 47%) with no franking credits to offset it. Penalties and interest may also apply.
Fringe Benefits Tax applies when your business provides non-cash benefits to employees, directors, or their associates. Common examples include a company car used for private purposes, personal expense reimbursements, entertainment, car parking, or meals. The FBT year runs 1 April to 31 March — different from the income tax year.
Unreported fringe benefits can lead to back-taxes at 47% on the grossed-up value of the benefit, plus interest and penalties. The ATO can review several prior years at once.
Capital Gains Tax applies when you sell or dispose of an asset — such as property, shares, crypto, or a business — for more than you paid for it. The gain is added to your income and taxed at your marginal rate, though a 50% CGT discount may apply if you held the asset for more than 12 months.
You may overpay tax by missing concessions you're entitled to — or underpay and face an ATO amendment with interest and penalties. The ATO data-matches property sales, share trades, and crypto transactions automatically.
The Superannuation Guarantee Charge applies when employee super is paid late or underpaid. If super is even one day late, the employer must lodge an SGC statement with the ATO and pay the shortfall plus an administration fee and interest.
The shortfall becomes non-deductible. Interest and an administration fee apply. The ATO can apply a 200% multiplier in serious cases, and directors may become personally liable for unpaid SGC amounts.
The IDS is required when your Australian business has transactions with overseas related parties. It covers transfer pricing (ensuring cross-border prices are at arm's length) and thin capitalisation (ensuring you are not excessively funded by overseas debt to reduce Australian tax).
The ATO can adjust your profits, deny deductions, and impose significant penalties. Transfer pricing is a high-priority ATO focus area, and non-lodgement can trigger an audit.
A BDBN is a legal document that directs your SMSF trustee on who should receive your super benefits if you die. Without one, the trustee has discretion to decide — which may not align with your wishes or your estate plan. BDBNs typically expire every three years and must be renewed to remain effective.
Your super may be distributed at the trustee's discretion. This can lead to unintended recipients, family disputes, and significant tax consequences — adult non-dependant children may be taxed at up to 32% on death benefits received from super.
A reversionary pension ensures that if you die while receiving a pension from your SMSF, the pension automatically continues to your nominated beneficiary — usually your spouse — without interruption or the need for trustee decisions at a difficult time.
The pension stops on death. The trustee must decide how to deal with your balance, which may trigger a lump sum payment, additional tax, and a significant disruption to your beneficiary's income at a vulnerable time.
Designed for clients who want a single trusted team coordinating the day-to-day financial administration of their personal or family wealth — not just tax compliance once a year.
This service is ideal if you are time-poor, hold assets across multiple entities, or want help managing payments, bank accounts, and financial coordination with a professional team acting on your behalf.
We handle the detail so you don't have to. Decisions remain yours — we manage the administration.
Companies, trusts, SMSFs, and personal names — we coordinate across your entire structure.
One team managing accounting, tax, payments, and liaison with your other advisers.
We assist you to open and manage accounts with Macquarie Bank or BT (part of Westpac), including cash management accounts, term deposits, and transaction accounts across your entities.
We assist with share and bond transactions, portfolio record keeping, corporate actions, and coordination with your financial adviser or broker.
We set up your regular and one-off payments so invoices are entered into the banking platform and ready for your approval. You stay in control — we handle the work.
We liaise with your banker, financial planner, solicitor, and other professionals on your behalf — and provide cash flow summaries, investment reports, and obligation reminders as agreed.
Family office services are quoted based on the number of entities, accounts, payment volume, and level of ongoing support. Most engagements start from $1,500 per month.
Whether you need to register a new company or trust, deregister an old one, or manage ongoing ASIC obligations, we handle the paperwork and lodgements on your behalf — correctly and efficiently.
Every Australian company must deal with ASIC each year. We act as your registered ASIC agent so you don't need to manage it yourself. The right tier depends on how active your company is and how much administration support you want us to handle.
$500/year or $33/month
Annual statement, solvency resolution, and registered office. Best for simple, rarely-changed companies.
$200/month
Everything in Tier 1 plus unlimited ASIC form lodgements, mail forwarding, and boardroom access.
$500/month
Everything in Tier 2 plus 8 hours per month of general administration support.
We suggest Tier 1 if your company is straightforward, you rarely change company details, and you just want someone to handle the annual ASIC statement and solvency resolution without you having to think about it.
We suggest Tier 2 if you make changes to your company from time to time — such as updating directors, addresses, or share structures — you want ASIC mail handled for you, or you need occasional access to a professional meeting space.
We suggest Tier 3 if you have frequent administrative needs that go beyond ASIC — for example, coordinating documents, managing business correspondence, or general company administration support on an ongoing basis.
