Extrado Accountants & Advisors

With tax, compliance and financial planning as its work, Extrado Accountants & Advisors serves small businesses and individuals in Australia. The practice sets out a simple three-part approach: advise, assist and achieve. It says it is committed to building better businesses and better futures for its clients, and that supporting clients to reach their goals is its main reward.

Small business advice and compliance

Owners of small firms must comply with government rules while also running the business, and Extrado takes on the compliance work that involves the Australian Taxation Office, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and other departments. Its advice also covers record keeping, budgeting and forecasting, the selection of accounting software and staff training, and the financing a business needs to grow.

Income tax, GST and business activity statements

The practice prepares income tax returns and gives advice aimed at reducing the amount of tax a client pays now and in future. Its return preparation is carried out by accountants with years of experience. The firm also handles business activity statements, so that GST and related obligations are dealt with on time and do not take up the owner's time.

Self-managed super funds

Self-managed super is one of the fastest growing areas of the practice's work in Australia. Extrado has streamlined its processes for administering self-managed super funds, and it has specialists who guide trustees through what they need to do, both now and later. The practice stresses that staying compliant with the tax office protects a client's retirement savings.

Individuals and small businesses planning ahead

The practice describes its clients as people who want accounting and tax advice before they make long-term decisions, and as owners who need help to run a business or plan a financial future. Its team is positioned as a partner in the client's success, and the firm says the work is rewarding when it helps clients meet their goals.

Covid-era support and recent news

The practice's blog has covered government support for businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic, including relief packages that the government announced, and its advice on what clients could be eligible for. Its more recent material covers changes to registered office rules and to anti-money laundering obligations for accountants.
