For Businesses

Business Start-up Kit

Are you thinking about starting a new business but not sure which structure would be the best choice for you? how much you need to budget? Where to start?

We will review your business plans and explain what options are available and the ideal structure for both short term and long term. Once you decided, we have a great range of Business Start-Up Kit packages to meet your budget.

Some of the items in our packages include: Incorporation, Tax Registrations, ASIC Registration, ABN Registration, Company Web Site Domain Registration, Company Email Set Up, Company Logo Design, Business Card and Letterhead Design.

Yes, we do everything to help you to set up your new business so all you have to do is just run it! Call us now to find out more.

Annual Compliance Kit

There are certain annual reporting requirements that all business owners are required to comply such as filing income tax return, GST returns and ASIC Company Statement.

We understand that each business comes with a different leve of reporting requirements and business needs; in order to meet all your business needs at a competitive price, we have a wide range of Annual Compliance Kit packages you can choose from.

Call us now to find out more.

Accounting & Bookkeeping

If you are looking for someone to do your bookkeeping or accounting works, we can offer you several options to choose from.

Option 1:

We can help you to install/implement an economical and easy-to-use accounting system for your business.  We can also provide training and written manuals so you can do it yourself (or your staff) at no cost!  You don't have to be an accountant to do simple bookkeeping.  If you are a proactive business owner and would like to save on going costs, this is an ideal option for you.

Option 2:

If you do not have a large volume of transactions, it may be an economical option for you to send us your work papers.  We can manage your books at an agreed fixed fee.

Option 3:

If you own a decent size business but cannot afford a permanent bookkeeper or accountant, we can send you our very experienced bookkeeping specialist.  Our specialist can either visit your office or you can send the required information to our office.  Depends on the volume of transactions, you can choose the frequency of our service (eg, weekly / fortnightly / monthly / quarterly).  This may not seem as the most economical option but will definitely still be cheaper than hiring a permanent staff.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Returns should not be treated as an “end process”!

Australia has one of the most complicated income tax systems in the world.  Having a very complicated tax system also means many opportunities to minimise taxes and maximise tax benefits.

In order to achieve those goals, business owners must be proactive in finding a competent tax advisor/accountant with sufficient knowledge, experience and the right attitude.

We don’t just prepare your tax returns but we will assess your tax situations; find the most effective and practical solutions to achieve those goals; finally, help you to execute the tax decisions you made at a competitive fee.

Call us now to find out more.

Indirect Taxes & Duties

Indirect taxes include the Goods and Services Tax (GST), stamp duty, customs duty, the Luxury Car Tax (LCT), Wine Equalisation Tax (WET), excise duties and land taxes. While many businesses are on top of their income tax issues, they are not aware of the potential costs and pitfalls that can arise from indirect tax issues.

We have indirect tax experts who specialise in keeping up to date with these taxes. We advise on the implications for business operations and property and commercial transactions, as well as providing planning advice and compliance services.

Business Restructuring

Quite often businesses are formed and expanded not necessarily in the perfect structure but it was the best (or only) option at the time. It can be challenging and difficult but business restructuring sometimes become “necessity” or only way to maximise profit and improve cash flow in business; of course, tax in many cases is the reason to consider business restructuring.

When you are considering business restructuring, be aware that unless it is well planned and executed, the benefits may become short-lived. You must consider various factors and consequential impacts on any decisions made during the process.

We have experts in various fields which enable us to ensure that our clients achieve the great outcomes and maximise the benefits of the business restructuring.

Internal Audit

Internal Audit is a forensic review to determine the efficiency, economy and effectiveness of management processes as well as the reliability and accuracy of information and operations.

Internal audit can be a focused way to monitor the effectiveness of its management and the risks associated with often diverse activities. Internal audit is different to compliance audit in that it is a detailed and focused examination of an issue or issues.

This type of approach has been developed to fill the gap left by compliance audit firms who are primarily looking at controls and employee’s integrity. Internal audit looks at how an event occurs, what has contributed to it and how to remedy the situation. It is a powerful tool in understanding exactly what is contributing to ongoing issues in an organisation.

We can help you to get to the bottom of an issue. Call us now to find out more.
