From registration and structure through to growth, employment and eventual sale, we stay across the decisions that change your tax position before they are made.
What this covers
- Structure selection and registrations at start-up
- Year-end accounts and management reporting
- Tax planning ahead of 30 June
- Payroll, superannuation and employment obligations
- Benchmarking against your industry
- Succession and exit planning

Step 1 — Crunch (and compare) the numbers
It is not uncommon for businesses to be contacted by their accountant warning of a bigger tax bill than expected. Provide us with your income and cashflow statements, balance sheets and P&L statements, and we will uncover:
- Business profitability
- Year-on-year comparison
- Cashflow
- Sales and growth
- Reasons why these impact on your business
Step 2 — Review your business goals
Did you outperform your profit goal? Or not quite turn over as much as you’d wanted to? Here are some things to consider:
- Did you diversify your business (and income streams) in line with a business development strategy?
- How profitable was this new branch compared with the main source of income?
- What can you stop doing and start doing to be more profitable?
Step 3 — Review your costs and contracts
- Are there any errors, double-billing or unnecessary costs?
- Has any category of costs blown out with little return?
- Are there any opportunities to outsource and save?
- Can you review contracts for telecommunications, insurance and utilities, or find more flexible products?
Step 4 — Perfect your processes
Was it difficult to get your financial reports together? Did you neglect goal-setting? Was it time-consuming to understand your expenses? There is often an easier way.
Consider redesigning your finance-related processes to eliminate duplication, and look at technology and automated solutions to manage and track this data. This could save you thousands of dollars each year and help you achieve growth you did not think possible.
