Fin Tax Group

Tax returns for individuals, sole traders and companies

Tax returns form the core of the work at Fin Tax Group, a firm with offices in Sydney's CBD and Newtown. The firm prepares returns for private clients, sole traders and companies, along with trusts and partnerships. The firm says a registered tax accountant in Sydney handles every return and recommendation, and that it works with everyone from first-time filers to established businesses, trusts and self managed super funds. Clients can book an in-person appointment, a phone call or a video meeting, and the firm leaves the choice to whatever suits the client best.

Returns are lodged on time, and the firm says it looks for every deduction a client is entitled to in the course of preparing them. The firm says the outcome is explained plainly, without complicated jargon, so the client knows where they stand once the return is lodged.

Expat returns for Australians living abroad

Australians who live overseas have their own strand of the work. Fin Tax Group describes these as cross-border returns handled with the expertise that such work needs, and the firm says expat returns are turned around within 24 hours.

Year-round tax planning for businesses and households

Fin Tax Group describes planning as ongoing work rather than a task done at tax time. The firm says it puts strategies in place through the year to reduce tax legally and to grow a client's wealth, and it helps budget for the tax liabilities that fall due in later periods. For a business, that can mean reviewing how it is structured and what it can claim before the year closes.

The firm says it stays in touch between returns to flag opportunities, keep deadlines in view and help clients make informed decisions as their circumstances change.

Self managed super fund accounting and audit

For self managed super funds, the firm offers full-service accounting, annual compliance work and independent auditing. The firm says these services are set up to keep a fund in good standing with the Australian Taxation Office. Trustees of such funds need regular, accurate records and a clear annual compliance process, and the firm presents its SMSF service as a way of keeping both in order.

Bookkeeping, payroll and BAS for small businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll are kept up to date, so that a business owner always knows where the company stands and can spend time on growing it, in the firm's words. Alongside these come the business obligations most owners meet regularly: GST, business activity statements (BAS), company returns and ASIC compliance. Fin Tax Group says these are kept on track so that no deadline slips. It also offers business setup advice for owners starting out.

Fixed fees and how an engagement starts

The firm says it quotes fixed fees for most individual and business tax services, so that clients know the cost before work begins. For complex matters, such as SMSF compliance, business structuring and ongoing bookkeeping, it provides a written quote based on the scope of the job. An engagement can begin by booking online, by phone or through WhatsApp. Clients then upload their income statements and receipts securely, or bring the paperwork to the appointment, before the accountant works through their situation and prepares the return.
