No. 03Pricing

Prices in the open, before you ask.

Four fixed-fee packages cover most of what we do. Every price below is a starting point. Your exact fee is agreed on the free 20-minute call, before any work begins, and it doesn't change unless the job does.

1Indicative 'from' prices in Australian dollars, including GST. Your final quote comes after the free call.

The packages

Four packages. One number each.

Pick the one that sounds most like you. If none quite fits, we'll put a package together on the call, still at a fixed fee.

No. 01Per return

The Shoebox

Individual and family tax returns. Bring the shoebox; we'll take it from there.

From, inc GST$220
  • Personal tax return prepared and lodged
  • Partner and family returns handled together
  • Deductions checked line by line
  • A plain-English summary of the result

Named for the box of receipts people bring. It's fine. Really.

No. 02Per month

The Sole Trader

Working for yourself, registered for GST, with Xero in place or about to be.

From, inc GST$165
  • Annual tax return for you and the business
  • BAS prepared and lodged
  • Xero file reviewed and kept tidy
  • A check-in before the end of the financial year

For tradies, consultants and anyone whose business is mostly them.

No. 03Per month

The Engine Room

Companies and trusts with staff, payroll and a bit more going on.

From, inc GST$495
  • Company or trust tax return and financial statements
  • BAS prepared and lodged
  • Payroll for your team
  • Bookkeeping review and Xero support
  • Two advisory sessions a year on cash flow, budgets and pricing

No. 04Per year

The Long Game

Self-managed super funds that need their annual accounts done properly.

From, inc GST$1,980
  • Annual financial statements for the fund
  • The fund's tax return prepared and lodged
  • Help getting ready for the independent audit
  • A plain-English summary for trustees

Super is a long game. The paperwork shouldn't feel like one.

*All prices are indicative 'from' prices in Australian dollars, including GST. They show where packages start; they are not a quote. Your fixed fee is confirmed after the free 20-minute call, once we know what's involved, and agreed before any work begins.

What moves a quote

What makes a package cost more, and what never does.

A fixed fee depends on how much work is involved. These are the things that move it, so you can see your quote coming.

  1. 01

    How many returns or entities

    A household with three returns, or a company plus a trust, is more work than a single return.

  2. 02

    Staff and payroll

    Payroll for two people and payroll for twenty are different jobs.

  3. 03

    The state of the books

    A tidy Xero file is quicker to work with than a year of catching up. We're happy to do either.

  4. 04

    How often you lodge BAS

    Monthly BAS is more work than quarterly, and the fee reflects it.

  5. 05

    How much advice you want

    Some businesses want a check-in every quarter, others once a year. Both are fine.

One-off jobs

Need just one thing? That's fine too.

Not everything needs a package. One-off jobs are quoted the same way: a fixed fee, agreed first.

Questions

Things people ask before booking.

Q1What happens on the free 20-minute call?

You tell us what you need and what's going on. We ask a few questions, suggest a package and give you a fixed fee. There's no obligation.

Q2Are the prices on this page final?

No. They're indicative 'from' prices including GST, to give you a fair idea before you call. Your exact fee is agreed after the call, before we start any work.

Q3Do you ever charge by the hour?

No. Every package and one-off job is a fixed fee agreed upfront. If the scope changes, we talk about it first and agree the new fee together.

Q4Can you work with me if I'm not in Adelaide?

Yes. We work remotely with clients across South Australia, by phone, email and a shared Xero file.

Q5Do I need to be on Xero already?

No. We can set Xero up for you and train you to use it, or talk through the options on the call.
