Bottrell Business Consultants

Accountants and financial advisers in Newcastle and Maitland

Bottrell Business Consultants trades online as Bottrell Accounting and has two offices, one in Newcastle and one in Maitland in the Hunter region of New South Wales. Its website presents it as a team of accountants, tax agents, bookkeepers and financial planners serving business owners, individuals, couples and families. It reports longer opening hours than many practices, with late evenings on weekdays and Saturday appointments by arrangement.

Tax work for individuals and property owners

Personal tax is a large part of the practice. Its pages cover rental property tax advice, capital gains tax advice, investment tax advice, deceased estate tax returns and PAYG variation applications, which let a taxpayer adjust the instalments paid during the year. These are the kinds of questions that property investors and families dealing with an estate tend to bring to an accountant.

Support for business owners at each stage

For businesses, the firm explains the main structures used in Australia, including sole traders, partnerships, companies and discretionary trusts, and what each means for tax and control. It helps with starting a business, buying a business or a franchise, preparing a business plan, benchmarking and business coaching, and it provides financial control support for owners who want to see their numbers more clearly.

Cloud accounting and bookkeeping

The practice works with cloud accounting platforms, naming Xero and MYOB, and offers bookkeeping through them. Its pages also publish guidance on cash flow and on running a business day to day.

Self-managed super and specialist sectors

Self-managed super funds have their own service line covering accounting, compliance, audit and tax. The firm also lists tailored support for particular groups: tradespeople, NDIS providers, legal and conveyancing practices, real estate agencies, hospitality businesses and medical practices. It describes itself as trusted by thousands of businesses and individuals and carries a five out of five rating on its homepage, which are its own statements.
