HA Accounting

Accountants for farms and regional businesses around Tocumwal

Out of an office in Tocumwal, Australia, HA Accounting advises on tax, accounts and business matters. It describes itself as a newer, progressive practice that wants to bring accounting and tax into a more modern, technology-led era, and it puts a particular focus on customers in rural and regional communities.

Rural clients and farm compliance

The team says it is highly trained in farming compliance, government subsidies, farm estate planning and Centrelink benefits for people living in rural areas. It will also advise on other compliance and business matters that rural clients and their businesses face. The practice reports having several offices already established in outer regional places.

Meeting clients where they are

Rather than expecting everyone to visit an office, the practice works through face to face meetings, remote computer assistance, phone calls and web conferencing. It can visit a client's premises or see clients at its Tocumwal office, and it describes flexible hours rather than a standard nine to five. Because it uses cloud-based tools, it can give help and training over the internet, including showing a client how to manage their own accounts without coming in. It says it supports a large number of accounting software packages and keeps its skills current as new standards appear.

Services for the life of a business

The practice serves individuals, sole traders, companies, trusts, partnerships and not-for-profit organisations. Services mentioned on the site include accounting and tax returns, Business Activity Statement preparation and lodgement, business advice and compliance, Xero setup and compliance, estate and succession planning, and financial planning. It says it can help a client start a first business, expand it, sell it and eventually retire, and it points to a network of trusted allies in auditing, website design and business law for founders who need that extra help.

How it describes itself

The firm states that it is fully licensed and accredited and that its team members are qualified, with different specialities across accounting. It also says it prefers an informal setting to the usual formality of managing finances, and that it enjoys being involved with a client's business on a personal level.
