    A first meeting

    Thirty minutes, free, at one of our offices or on a call. We listen first and ask about the year ahead.

    A clear proposal

    One fixed monthly fee in writing, with exactly what is included and who does the work.

  3. III

    We take it from here

    We gather what we need, tidy up the past and set a rhythm for books, payroll and filings.

  4. IV

    Advice all year

    Quarterly reviews and a partner on the phone whenever a decision has numbers in it.

Questions

Asked often, answered plainly.

Something not covered here? Call 555-0120 and ask for the duty partner.

Who do you work with?

Owner run businesses from two to two hundred people: trades, clinics, studios, shops, manufacturers and professional firms. We also look after the owners’ personal and family tax.

How are your fees set?

Every engagement has a fixed monthly fee, agreed in writing before we start. Engagements start from $450 a month, depending on volume, payroll and reporting.

Can you take over from our current accountant?

Yes. We handle the hand over, request the files and make sure nothing is missed in the switch. Most moves take two to three weeks.

Will you look for every deduction?

Always. We look for every deduction and credit you are entitled to, and we tell you what we claimed and why.

Do we have to meet online?

Not at all. Meet us at one of our three offices, at your premises or on a video call, whichever suits the week.

Let's talk numbers.

Tell us where the business is heading. A partner will call within one working day to set up your free first meeting.
