Find a Small Business Accountant in Sydney that Can Help Me...

Ok the truth is there are accountants and then there are accountants!  

Firstly, tax agents are not accountants – they are … yep tax agents and mostly they work for the ATO. Sorry H&R Block!

Secondly, there are your strip mall accountants – you can pick them easily. They will have their shingle out in the main street and they will call themselves “Accountants” maybe  Tax accountants or Tax Agents as well.  They’ll probably be a member of the Institute of Public Accountants , which pretty much anyone can join. These accountants are setup to do your tax returns and… well that’s it!

Thirdly we have the CPAs – Certified Practising Accountants (or Certified Public Accountants in the USA). CPAs are proper accountants with strict entry criteria.  CPAs are recognised by all levels of governments and the banks.  CPAs will help you setup companies, businesses, SMSFs and Trusts.  They are good.

But CPAs aren’t the best… Which brings us to the creme de la creme – your Chartered Accountant. Chartered Accountants go to the best accounting schools, have the strictest entry criteria, have experience working for the top tier firms.  They invariably have many years in public practice and… their client base is mainly small businesses.

So how exactly, do Chartered Accountants help small business? By:
  • Structuring the setup of your new business correctly to help you avoid personal liability and reduce tax;
  • Implementing tax planning to minimise the amount of tax you pay;
  • Implementing a cloud based accounting package like Xero to help you track expenses, boost profit and report to the bank so you can borrow money;
  • Developing business plans;
  • Applying for government grants and tax incentives;
  • Helping you buy or sell a business;
  • Ensuring you stay up to date with tax and other government compliance;
  • Helping you plan for retirement by opening a SMSF;
  • Setting you up to invest in property to increase your wealth.
