CPA-qualified accounting. In Xero or MYOB. Done early.

Bookkeeping, EOFY, BAS, payroll, individual returns, R&D Tax Incentive claims. We prepare your EOFY in October, not June, so it files cleanly and you sleep through the season. CPA-qualified, TPB-registered tax agents. Lodging as an individual? Try our free FY2025-26 refund estimator.

What we do

The work, plainly.

Accounting is the most predictable practice in the firm. The cadence is set by the ATO, the work is set by the standards, and the failure modes are well-known. We don't try to make it exciting; we try to make it boring, on time, and right the first time.

If you're hiring us, you're typically replacing a bookkeeper who can't handle the complexity, or a Big Four accounting team that's billing too much for too little, or a local accountant who's solid on EOFY but doesn't return calls in between.

We work in Xero by default, MYOB when the existing setup is mature there, and we never migrate platforms because we feel like it. If your current ledger works, we keep using it.

Wondering what your refund looks like?

Our free FY2025-26 estimator gives individuals a 60-second refund estimate on the real resident rates — income tax, Medicare levy, the low income tax offset and the new marginal HELP repayments. See the maths first; when you're ready, a registered accountant can sense-check it and lodge your return.

Capabilities

Five lanes.

Standard scope across the practice. The unified retainer pulls in Finance for forecasting and Technology & AI for any data-engineering needs.

01

Monthly bookkeeping

Receipts, bank rec, supplier payments, monthly close in Xero or MYOB. Real ledger discipline, not "we'll catch up at year-end."

02

EOFY & company tax

June year-ends prepared in October. Filed by September the following year unless you ask us to defer. Company tax return, partnership returns, trust distributions.

03

BAS & GST compliance

Monthly or quarterly BAS lodged on time, with the working papers retained so any ATO review goes quickly. FBT returns as needed.

04

Payroll & STP

Weekly, fortnightly or monthly payroll runs. Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 compliant. Super, leave, PAYG, all in the right places. TPAR for contractor-heavy businesses.

05

R&D Tax Incentive

For companies doing genuine R&D (yes, this includes most AI work). End-to-end claim including activities documentation, eligible expenditure schedule, and AusIndustry registration.

Pricing

Per practice, per month. No EOFY surprise invoice.

Bookkeeping & close: from AU$1,200/mo for an early-stage SMB up to AU$6,000/mo for a multi-entity 50-staff group.

EOFY & tax: included in the monthly retainer above. No separate "year-end fee" springing on you in August.

Payroll: from AU$420/mo for up to 20 employees on a fortnightly cycle. Scales linearly with headcount.

R&D Tax Incentive claim: AU$8,500 – AU$28,000 fixed-fee depending on size and complexity. No success fee.

Common questions

Before an Accounting engagement.

How does migration from our current accountant work?
We take the handover from your existing accountant during a quiet period (typically September–November). We migrate prior-year working papers, reconcile the opening balances, and continue the current period from where they left off. Most migrations complete in four weeks without a missed BAS.
Will you keep us in Xero, or push us onto something else?
Whatever you're already on. If you're on Xero and it works, you stay on Xero. If you're on MYOB and it works, you stay on MYOB. We only recommend a platform change when the cost of staying exceeds the cost of moving (which is rarely).
What's the deal with EOFY in October?
Most SMBs scramble to close their books in July–September after year-end and file by the May deadline. We do the opposite: clean the ledger continuously through the year so that by mid-October the EOFY is essentially done. Tax return is filed by January in most cases. The June close becomes a non-event.
Can you help with ATO audits or disputes?
Yes. As registered tax agents we represent you in dealings with the ATO. We've handled BAS reviews, FBT audits, R&D activity audits and personal-services-income reviews. If a dispute would benefit from specialist tax counsel, we'll bring one in and stay on the team as advisor.
Do you do personal returns for directors?
Yes, included in the standard company retainer for up to four directors. Their spouses' returns are out-of-scope by default; we'll quote them separately.

A partner-led call.
