DGL Accountants

Mackay has had an accounting practice on its books since 1924, when DGL Accountants was established. The firm says that heritage of more than a century gives it a close understanding of the local marketplace, and it aims to be the accountants of choice by offering efficient strategies that deliver the results clients want.

Tax planning and compliance

DGL Accountants' taxation specialists help clients keep up with their obligations and the latest developments, and adapt strategies to each situation. The firm says it works to minimise tax liability, maximise refunds and keep clients on course for their financial goals. For individuals and businesses alike, this means advice that follows changes announced by the Australian Taxation Office.

Superannuation without the paperwork

For superannuation, the firm reduces the administrative load of managing a fund, officiating compliance and providing ongoing advice and reports on balances, investments and returns. Its service includes self-managed super funds, and the practice says its holistic approach is compliant with financial licensing arrangements.

Audit of trusts, SMSFs and not-for-profits

The practice carries out independent audits, and it stresses its commitment to objective service. It alerts clients to potential risks and to ways of improving internal systems and processes, and it looks after trust accounts, SMSFs and charities or other non-profit groups.

Help at each stage of a business

Business advice covers buying a business or business property, starting a small business, choosing a structure, financial forecasting, writing a business plan and setting realistic goals. DGL Accountants says it aims to be a go-to adviser at each of those steps.

Bookkeeping and accounting software

Its bookkeeping service is designed to let owners stay focused on management and growth. With suitable systems, software and support, the firm takes care of lodgements and obligations so that owners avoid the administrative headaches.

A local firm with community ties

After roughly a century serving Mackay, the firm regards itself as local, and it supports community events, clubs and initiatives in the area. It describes honesty, integrity and expert knowledge as the qualities it prides itself on.
