Your tax return keeps you on the right side of the regulations, while your financial statements offer crucial insights that are often key to preparing your tax returns effectively.

Tax Planning and Asset Protection

To truly minimise your tax liabilities and understand the tax implications of your transactions, it’s crucial to engage with your accountant ahead of time. This proactive approach allows us to explore optimal structuring options for your situation. While tax avoidance isn’t permissible, strategic tax planning is both legal and wise.

At Count On Us Accounting, we offer annual tax planning sessions between April and June. These sessions are designed to arm you with valuable insights, enabling you to make informed business decisions as the financial year draws to a close.

We also evaluate the full spectrum of tax incentives available to you, including:

  • Accelerated depreciation
  • 50% CGT discount
  • R & D tax incentives
  • Small business CGT discount
  • Small business restructure rollover

Although we don’t offer estate planning services directly, asset protection is always at the forefront of our minds as we handle your business compliance and structuring. We consider the security of your assets, assess potential risks, and evaluate your current protection measures. When the time comes for estate planning or financial planning, we’ll direct you to trusted professionals to ensure you receive the best advice.

At Count On Us Accounting, we’re dedicated to safeguarding your financial future and maximising your wealth. Let us help you navigate the complexities of tax and asset protection with confidence.

Business Advisory

Navigating the business landscape can be challenging. That’s why our team of Chartered Accountants and business advisors is here to provide targeted advisory services tailored to your unique business needs.

With our Management Reporting, we empower you to stay in control of your business finances, giving you the clarity to make confident decisions. Our Cash Flow Reporting illuminates the movement of cash within your business, helping you to understand your financial dynamics better.

We employ Financial Modelling to identify key revenue streams and drivers, enabling strategic planning and informed decision-making. With our guidance in Goal Setting, Budgeting, Scenario Planning, and Expansion Planning, you can set your sights on growth with confidence.

Our Forecasting and Business Projections help you plan for the future with accurate, data-driven insights. Plus, we’ll work with you to optimise your Finance and Operational Systems, ensuring your business is running as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Remember, scaling a business requires robust systems. Attempting to grow without the right infrastructure is like trying to run a marathon without training – you’re setting yourself up for a big struggle.

So, if you’re in need of a fresh perspective or guidance on scaling your business, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at Count On Us Accounting. We’re here to assist you every step of the way on your journey to success.

Virtual CFO Services

As your business grows, you’ll inevitably face tasks outside your expertise. One critical area could be managing your business finances – it’s an essential part of scaling, but perhaps not your strong suit. That’s where our Virtual CFO service comes in.

Employing a full-time CFO can be costly, and perhaps not yet necessary for your business. A Virtual CFO package, on the other hand, provides the expertise and insights of a CFO, without the significant investment. It’s a flexible solution that adapts to your needs, making it ideal for businesses at all stages – start-ups, scale-ups, and established entities.

A Virtual CFO’s role is to handle your finances while you focus on business growth. Here’s what you can expect from our Virtual CFO service:

  • In-depth reviews of your profit & loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports
  • Detailed analysis of your accounts receivable and accounts payable
  • Implementation of a robust system for monthly management reporting
  • Assistance with goal setting – for both short-term and long-term
  • Development of budgets and cash flow reporting systems
  • Creation of bespoke financial models and forecasts

These services are paramount when you’re aiming to scale your business. Failing to understand your key metrics could be the difference between becoming a success story and falling short.

Don’t let your financial strategy become an afterthought! Take control of your finances today with our Virtual CFO services. At Count On Us Accounting, we’re here to help you master your numbers and enhance your growth trajectory.

New Business Setup

Embarking on a new business journey is thrilling, and whether you’re starting fresh, purchasing an existing venture, considering a franchise, or restructuring your current business, we’re here to help.

Creating a new enterprise may seem straightforward in today’s digital age, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Consider this analogy: owning a top-notch pair of barber’s scissors doesn’t make you a professional hair stylist. The result could be a messy situation – and the same applies to setting up a business.

We understand the temptation to cut corners, especially when your venture isn’t generating income yet. But believe us when we say that getting it right the first time is an investment that will save you significant headaches and expense in the future.

Setting up a new business involves numerous steps, and missing just one can lead to complications down the line. That’s where our New Business Setup Service steps in to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Our comprehensive service includes:

  • Initial meetings to understand your needs and goals
  • Identifying the best business structures for your venture
  • Setting up your ABN, TFN, GST, PAYG registrations & business name
  • Conducting thorough due diligence
  • Guidance on business purchase decisions and compensation structuring
  • Strategies for asset protection and tax planning
  • Assisting with accounting software setup and business systems operations
  • Establishing budgets

Setting up a new business can be a demanding process, packed into a relatively short time. It’s easy to forget crucial steps in the rush. With Count On Us Accounting as your trusted partner, you’ll get the peace of mind knowing your business setup is done right, right from the start.
