We are passionate about tax! In all of our work we push to get the very best possible outcome for our clients. We also do a lot of tax consulting.

Tax is a very detailed area and it can be hard for some firms to keep across the wide range of tax law we have to deal with as Accountants.

CONSULTANTS

Are you an IT consultant? Management Consultant? Most “consultants” or contractors face similar issues, PSI, keeping your records in as simple a method as possible, etc. We have a large number of clients who fall in the general classification of consultant and can help you. As we handle clients in this area a lot we are familiar with the issues you face including the area of PSI (personal services income). Other issues we find are common to this area are:

• Record keeping, you want a system that is as simple as possible
• Home office expenses, you want to maximise this area of deductions in many cases
• Superannuation, if you are not paying yourself super then you are going to be at a disadvantage over someone who works as an employee
• Business structuring, should you be operating as a sole trader or a company? (or some other structure)

We are also property advisors and can help you with your next (or first!) property investment, including advising and assisting with buying property with your Self Managed Super Fund.

We have lots of experience in the Property Industry and while many Accountants struggle with some of the unique issues in the Industry Margin Schemes, Capital Gains Tax, Real Estate Trust Accountants and Feasibility studies are all common areas for us and issues we deal with on a regular basis.

We have  extensive experience in building finance proposals for the banks and other lenders, and understand that property industry.
