Our Difference

What do we do?

All things tax

The entire lifecycle of tax work (all things tax) – starting from advice, planning and accounting through to disputes (objections) and Court work (Court and AAT). To achieve this, we have qualified accountants and tax lawyers to bring the right skills to play at each stage of the process. 

Business Law

Business Law is a broad area, that not only requires sound legal knowledge but also experience and an understanding of commercial transactions and the manner in which businesses operate.

Property Law

Get advice on all aspects of property including easements, covenants, buying and selling and commercial leasing. We also specialise in defending section 88K claims or negotiating advantageous settlements for section 88K claims.

Our method

Planning and preparation

We believe that planning and preparation are the keys to success. Prevention is better than cure. When providing tax advice, we are able to complete the entire chain to ensure quality and confidence in the outcome. Specifically, we can provide advice, prepare any relevant documents and also ensure that the tax returns and compliance is consistent. To do this, we will use our tax lawyers or accountants as appropriate during the course of any engagement to ensure that the best skill level is assigned to each task at any time.

For litigation and commercial work, we seek to understand all the facts first and get an accurate gauge on the position. It is only then that it is possible to work out the appropriate steps forward to achieve the desired outcomes.

Your success through our expertise

Over the years we have observed that our more successful clients tend to be very organised and aware of what is occurring within their businesses. We try to help you look ahead in our areas of expertise (tax, accounting and legal) to give your business an edge, make life easier for you, and give you the greatest chance of success.

Rapport and trust

Disputes with the ATO do not always have to be resolved in a combative way. With close to 20 years’ experience, we have developed relationships of mutual trust with a number of our counterparts at the ATO and where issues can be resolved amicably our preference is to do so..

Finding the best solution

Unfortunately, a lot of people in the industry will simply identify the problems but not offer solutions. This is in part driven by the regulatory environment surrounding professional services which encourages this kind of behaviour.  Other times the advice is technically right but completely useless as it is not grounded in any understanding of the business or the situation.  It is pointless to provide someone with a problem when our expertise is to provide a solution.  We will always try to find the best solution we can for any given problem and not simply throw the problem back at you.
