A straight forward income tax return means there is usually just one or two payment summaries; some claimable expenses and private health insurance. It does not include any tax returns that include rental properties, investment portfolios or any business income (i.e. sole trader). The cost of one individual tax return, for one year is $120 (inc GST).
If your work is a little more complex; you have a business, or rental properties or are looking for more than just a tax relationship, we suggest an initial meeting to get to know you and what is really important to you.
We always quote upfront so you are fully aware of what is included BEFORE we start any work. We are transparent with all fees, so there are never any unexpected surprise bills.
The traditional model for accountants was an hourly rate and we have moved away from this model in recent times, towards offering our clients monthly service agreements and upfront quoting. This is for a variety of reasons;
– this traditional model, in essence, is a conflict of interest, because it means (as an industry) we are directly rewarded for how inefficient we are – the longer we take to do a job, the more we get. By having a set price or agreement in place, we are able to promote our emphasis on customer service and completing jobs quickly for our clients, ensuring our relationship is mutually profitable.
– we have found it greatly assists your business cashflow, you know what to expect and when, there are no surprise invoices.
– with our monthly agreements it can you peace of mind. Feel safe and secure in the knowledge that you can contact us, meet with us, ask us questions, whenever you need to and there will be no bill for our time.
