Get a call back today

Name, phone and email is all we need. A registered tax agent calls you back the same business day with a fixed monthly price. No obligation.

We quote one fixed monthly fee, scoped on the call and confirmed in writing before any work starts. No obligation either way.

You send one email

Tell us you want to move. That is the only thing we need from you to get started, and the only awkward part we take off your hands.

01

We request your file

We write to your current accountant under the standard ethical letter process and collect your records, ledgers and lodgement history.

02

We take it from there

Books, lodgements and payroll move across. Most clients are fully live within two weeks and nothing is missed in the gap.

The problem

Why owners leave their accountant

It is rarely about price. It is about being left to work it out alone.

Reactive, not proactive

You hear from your accountant once a year, after the decisions have already been made.

No growth planning

No forward plan, no targets, no view of where the business is heading next.

Cash flow blind spots

Profit on paper does not tell you whether you can make payroll next month.

Tax after the fact

Tax is calculated after year end instead of being planned before it.

Common questions answered

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to tell my current accountant?
No. We write to them directly under the standard ethical clearance process that applies between Australian accounting practices. You do not need to make the call or explain yourself.
What if I am mid financial year?
That is the most common time people move. We collect the year to date records from your current accountant and pick up where they left off, so nothing is lost and nothing is lodged twice.
How does onboarding work?
Discovery call, fixed fee proposal, then setup and data migration. Most clients are live within two weeks.
Do we have to use Xero?
We work best in Xero and will handle setup or migration. Other systems can be discussed at discovery.
Can you take over our payroll?
Yes. Processing, STP reporting and superannuation can be added to any package.
What support is included?
Ongoing access to your client manager. Questions are included in the monthly fee, not billed by the hour.
Do you work with businesses outside Sydney?
Yes. We work with businesses across Australia, not just Sydney. Everything runs in the cloud and you keep the same client manager.
