We provide accounting services for high-income earners, those with more complex tax structures and challenges, small and medium-sized businesses, SMSFs, or families charged with managing and preserving family wealth. 

  • Tax Planning & Investment Structures

    Effective tax planning is crucial for families to achieve their personal financial goals. Our taxation and structuring services are designed to optimize the tax position of our client’s business and investment structures while also allowing for effective wealth extraction. We can assist with advising on appropriate tax structures and long-term plans alongside your financial advisor, ensuring you are making the most of every dollar you earn in a tax-efficient manner.

  • SMSF accounting and administration services

    We provide SMSF accounting and administrative services and provide support and compliance assistance needed to make your SMSF easier to manage.

What We Do

Private Advisory Services

Designed for sophisticated clients, our private advisory services cover each element of your financial situation to ensure we are structuring your financial or business life to meet your needs. We take a project management approach to our private advisory services, with the ability to act as an intermediary and ensure each element lines up with everything else in their financial world. Some of the areas we look after include:

  • Ensuring estate planning is thoroughly considered, and liaising with estate planners and lawyers to secure your wealth. 
  • Reviewing trusts and tax planning flexibility.
  • Assisting with efficient and appropriate structuring of family trusts and company arrangements
  • Digging deep into what you really want from your finances, and extracting the answers behind why you do what you do, which in some cases you might not even have been aware of. We do this to ensure that your deepest needs are considered in building and managing your asset structure and financial life. 
  • Project Management for Complex Structuring

    Project managing means that we take a leadership role in advising on what needs to be done, laying out a plan for you, and working with other service providers to bring everything together. We work with a network of potential service providers, including your financial advisors, family lawyers, accountants, commercial and tax lawyers, estate planners, and others. This ensures that no stone is left unturned when it comes to setting up your financial structure for tax efficiency, business succession, confidence in financial decision-making, and a securing your legacy. Our project management approach sets the standard for what you’re looking for and provides quality control on each piece of your financial puzzle. 

  • Private Liaison with other Professional Services

    Effective financial management requires collaboration and coordination with many professionals, such as financial planners, mortgage brokers, investment specialists, lawyers, estate planners, and others. We work closely with your existing advisors and provide referrals to excellent professionals when specialised services are required. We work on your behalf, creating efficiency in getting results and saving you time and effort. 

  • Family Trust Planning

    We provide advice and guidance on family trust arrangements; we look at estate needs, tax planning and structuring efficiency, and profit distribution with a view to minimising the potential threat of future tax compliance issues. We take a financial planning approach to tax advisory and apply it across your family group; this means we consider your whole financial picture as well as your goals and objectives, in conjunction with your other professional advisers. 

  • Separation and Divorce Restructuring

    We also work closely with families that have built wealth and now are separating or divorcing. This is a difficult situation to navigate, made more difficult by the fact that often, one partner will need to find another accountant and/or advisor. We work with many clients and their family lawyers, who need to restructure their finances after going through a property settlement. We assist with building or advising on new or alternate tax structures to place their money or assets, coordinating a review of estate planning requirements, often with a renewed focus on estate protection. We also coordinate with family lawyers regularly where clients are seeking to establish greater wealth protection from any subsequent relationship separation which might occur in the future.

  • Wealth Structuring & Extraction

    We work closely with our clients to develop personalised wealth extraction strategies. Overall, we have expertise in structuring to protect and grow wealth. 

    Creating a personalised wealth plan that works for you requires a thorough understanding of tax structures, and a focus on coordinating with your team of professional advisers to ensure that all aspects of your situation have been catered for. We are able to offer that expertise.
