Expert Thinking.

Direct advice from a Chartered Accountant who knows your affairs, stays close through the year, and helps you act before tax-time decisions become last-minute fixes.

Owner-managed businesses & families

From start-ups to established companies, trusts and SMSFs — including clients with income, investments or family connections overseas.

The XTAS approach

The work is technical. The value is in the judgement.

We work it through with you, not for you. That means talking before year end, not after. When something changes in your business or your family, we want to hear about it early, while there is still time to do something about it.

Direct Chartered Accountant advice

Your work is not handed down a line of juniors.

Proactive through the year

Issues and opportunities raised while there is still time to act.

Beyond processing

Compliance is the foundation. Judgement is the value.

Anyone can lodge a return. We’d rather help you decide what goes into it.

“Every accountant says they do more than compliance. Not many explain what that means in practice.”
— Keith Sun, Principal

For us, it means raising the question of structure before a business outgrows the one it has. It means reading a set of accounts and asking why the numbers look the way they do. And when a client’s income or family affairs cross borders, it means looking at both sides.

Why “Partner with Expert Thinking”

Three words. One way of working.

You won’t be passed to a junior. When you call, you speak to the Chartered Accountant who knows your file and did the thinking.

Partner.

We sit on your side of the table, and we stay for the long run: from setting up the business and hiring the first employee, through to a restructure, a sale, or handing it to the next generation.

Expert.

Your affairs are handled by a Chartered Accountant and registered tax agent who works in the detail every day, so the technical side is done properly.

Thinking.

The value is in what comes before the return: what a decision will trigger, which option leaves more choices open, and what is worth doing now.

Most firms are good at one or the other.

Some will know the rules but not your business. Others will know you well but won’t pick up the technical issue. We try to be both.
