Is an accountant really worth the cost?
yes — if they specialise in tradies.
Most tradies we work with save more in tax, penalties, and time than the cost of our service. Missed deductions, incorrect BAS, and poor structuring often cost far more than a fixed monthly fee.
I don’t earn that much yet — is this still for me?
Absolutely.
We work with:
Apprentices
Part-time tradies
Sole traders just starting out
That’s why we offer packages from $149 per month — so you get professional support early and avoid expensive mistakes later.
Are there lock-in contracts?
No.
All packages are month-to-month.
No long-term contracts.
No exit fees.
If we’re not the right fit, you’re free to leave.
Can you really handle everything for me?
Yes.
Depending on your package, we can manage:
BAS & GST
Bookkeeping
Payroll & STP
Tax returns
ATO correspondence
You send us your info — we handle the rest.
I’m already behind on BAS / tax. Can you help?
Yes — and this is very common.
We regularly help tradies who are:
Behind on BAS
Owing tax
Stressed about ATO letters
We’ll help you get back on track and deal with the ATO on your behalf.
Do I need to be good with computers or online software?
Not at all.
We:
Set up Xero or QuickBooks for you
Show you only what you need to know
Keep everything simple
If you can use a phone, that’s enough.
Can you help me claim vehicle and tool deductions properly?
Yes — this is one of our specialties.
We ensure:
Vehicles are claimed correctly
Tools and equipment are handled properly
You stay compliant while maximising deductions
No guesswork. No ATO risk.
I have employees and subcontractors — is that a problem?
Not a problem at all.
We handle:
Payroll & STP
Superannuation
Subcontractor compliance
ATO reporting
So you can focus on running jobs, not paperwork.
I’m not in your city — can you still help me?
Yes.
We work with tradies Australia-wide using cloud accounting.
Location doesn’t matter — you’ll still get a dedicated tradie accountant.
