We can help you with everything you need to start up a new business, from purchasing, feasibility reports, employment, wages, GST, what entity to use, ABNs and everything else. We suggest you come in and have a review of your ideas, to work out if this is the right opportunity and then we have a series of small meetings to tackle each step of the setup process to ensure you're not overwhelmed.
We proactively monitor your profits and plan for your tax, it's unfortunately unavoidable however it is something that can be minimised and used effectively can even provide long term benefits in future income years.

SMSFs a wonderful thing to say you have at a BBQ with friends, but get it wrong and you can lose so much. It is a great vehicle to reduce tax, it's a great way to plan for your retirement, and great for control. BUT it must be done right. As an employer or employee superannuation is now a heavily regulated area of your business and an unexpected cost that can put a lot of pressure on your business.

Michael always goes above and beyond for all our tax needs. As a small business he takes all the stress out of tax time and provides exceptional advice and reassurance. Best accountant in Port by far. Absolutely 5 out of 5 stars.

Michael has been my accountant for the last 8 plus years helping me through the purchase, management and sale of two businesses during this time. At all times he has exceeded my expectations and acted in my best interests. Tax planing and tax strategies are fantastic, cannot recommend highly enough.

Very unprofessional.
Does not send out reminders for tax and leaves you in the lurch with the ATO.
Look for a more ethical professional.

CAUTION: BE WARNED
Have to worry when a $1000 tax returns go missing into a mysterious bank account in Taree never to be seen again,
Even better it was due to there errors it went missing & they refuse to do peep about it
Well the $1000 is still missing & Im wondering if that bank account it went into is associated to someone in the office.
Anyone else been professionally scammed by this bunch??
