FAQs

What's your process for working with start-ups?

When starting a new business, there are several aspects to consider. Our dedicated team can assist you not only with all necessary registrations, accounting, and tax compliance but also with planning for future growth through our Business Improvement Services.

Our comprehensive services for new business startups include:

  • First Steps Guidance: Offering support through the initial steps of setting up your business.
  • Company Requirements and Overheads: Providing insights and assistance with understanding and managing your company's requirements and overheads.
  • Insurance Guidance: Providing discussions around the insurance options you need to consider now that you have a company.
  • Bank Accounts and Documentation: Assisting you in establishing bank accounts and obtaining essential company extract documents.
  • Business Registration: Assistance with all necessary registrations to get your business legally established.
  • Accounting Setup: Setting up your accounting systems and processes to ensure accurate and efficient financial management.
  • Tax Compliance: Ensuring that you meet all tax obligations and deadlines, minimising the risk of penalties.
  • Financial Planning: Helping you create a robust financial plan, including budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management.
  • Business Improvement Services: Strategic advice and support to help you plan for future growth and success.
  • Business Structure: You don't always need to form a company — sometimes it may suit to run as a sole trader. We can give you the right advice.

We are here to support you every step of the way. If you are planning to start a new business, let us handle the accounting and taxation matters so you can focus on what you do best.

How do I know you are the right accountant for my start-up?

There are plenty of great reasons to partner with us as accountants for your startup. Not only can we help you set up your financials correctly from the start and assist with all things accounting, but we can also support you with growth planning and business development. We have a proactive approach to advising on financial strategy, not just compliance. If you have other questions or would like to have a chat in person, feel free to get in touch.

What are the tax obligations for my start-up?

If you're new to this, don't worry. We will guide you through your tax obligations, including income tax, GST, payroll taxes, and any other relevant taxes, ensuring you're compliant and taking advantage of any available deductions.

Can you help develop our company's core values?

Yes — it's part of our Business Development Services. Core Values are the essence of a company's identity; they support the vision and shape the culture of an organisation. We've developed an effective service that allows you to create Core Values for your business — providing a great foundation and guide for the way your team interacts with clients and each other.

Attendees will complete pre-work to get thinking about their values and vision for the business so that everyone is prepared to gain maximum benefit from the 3–4 hour facilitated session. We'll then guide you through our structured process to create up to five Core Values with definitions which will underpin the expectations of behaviour within your organisation.

Core Values will make leading and managing a team and client expectations a lot easier. When your team live and breathe your Core Values, you're more likely to achieve your business goals. As Peter Drucker once said — "Culture eats strategy for breakfast."

If you become my accountant, how often should we meet?

Regular meetings are essential. Depending on your needs, we might meet monthly or quarterly to review your financials, discuss strategies, and ensure you're on track to meet your goals.

Can you help with setting up my accounting software?

Absolutely! As your accountants, we can recommend the best accounting software for your needs, help with the setup, and provide training so you can manage your financials efficiently.
