How we help

Prompt support, clear information and affordable accounting solutions.

Compliance means running your business ethically and legally under prescribed rules. We build clear processes for recording and verifying revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, single touch payroll, superannuation, WorkCover, business name registrations, GST, PAYGW, Safe Work SA and taxable payments annual reports — keeping you up to date with every relevant obligation.

If your business is registered for GST you must lodge a Business Activity Statement monthly or quarterly. BAS can be daunting, so our experts provide quality BAS services that keep your statements correct and on time — from GST audits and lodgements only, through to a full bookkeeping service with management reports.

STP changed when and how small businesses report payroll activity to the ATO. Using STP-enabled software you send salary and wage, tax withheld and super information each time you pay employees. Our specialist team gets your business STP compliant.

You need to register a business name if you trade under a name other than your own, which requires an ABN or an application in progress. Beware of companies sending renewal letters at more than double the real price — our registration process includes opting out of those services and directing all ASIC correspondence through our office so you never get caught in the scam.

Running a small business is overwhelming and requires a variety of skills. Don't be afraid to get help. We keep a complete record of income and expenses and accurately extract financial information from your business transactions.

The Instalment Activity Statement is issued by the ATO and summarises PAYG instalments, PAYG withholding and ABN withholding. We prepare and lodge it for taxpayers paying annual PAYG instalments and for entities not registered for GST.

Our bookkeeping services are tailored to each client. We take every possible step to keep the process efficient so you don't end up with large fees, while maintaining quality of work and offering management reports that keep your business on track. We also support clients who prefer to do their own books.

Businesses making payments to contractors — including subcontractors, consultants and independent contractors — may need to lodge a TPAR, and more industries are added to the list each year. Our team prepares and lodges it, making sure deadlines are met.

Return to WorkSA insurance protects South Australian businesses from the costs of a work injury. Employers above the wages threshold must register to ensure employees and their dependents are covered. We take the stress out of registering, calculating and reporting your obligations.

If cloud computing sounds foreign, we brief you through the whole process and help choose the best accounting software for your business. We provide training in MYOB, Xero, Cash Flow Manager, Phoenix, Reckon, Intuit, QuickBooks, Quicken, Practice Manager, Practice Systems, Cashflow Manager Rural, EDSAS and many more — saving time, reducing errors and producing accurate financial reports.
