New to Business? We’ll Guide You Every Step of the Way
Starting a new venture is exciting, but the setup can be overwhelming. We frequently hear: “I’m completely new to business – can you help me figure it all out?”
Our answer: Absolutely! In fact, we have a special passion for helping new businesses get established correctly (so you avoid costly mistakes down the road). Here’s how we make life easier for new business owners:
Business Setup Package ▼
We take care of all the initial registrations - ABN, TFN, GST (if needed), PAYG withholding, business name registration - the works. We’ll even help you register a company if that’s the direction you choose, or prepare a trust deed for a family trust. Our team ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
Accurate financial bookkeeping, preparation of financial statements, and ensuring you meet all compliance obligations. We handle GST/BAS preparation and lodgement, payroll processing, superannuation compliance, and PAYG reporting. All your routine accounting tasks are managed efficiently so you stay compliant with the ATO and avoid any penalties. (You didn’t go into business to do bookkeeping and admin paperwork – so leave it to us! We’ll put systems in place to handle it
Accounting Systems ▼
Right from the start, we’ll implement an easy-to-use cloud accounting software (like Xero) for your business. We set up your chart of accounts, link your bank feeds, and show you how to invoice customers and track expenses. Starting with a good system means your records will be clean, which saves you headaches (and accounting fees) later!
Strategic tax planning to minimize your tax liability and maximize your after-tax profit. Our tax accountants prepare annual company tax returns, sole trader and partnership returns, and offer guidance on deductions and incentives relevant to your industry. We stay up-to-date on tax law changes and proactively advise you on the best tax-effective structure and strategies (for example, whether to use a company, trust, or sole trader setup). Before EOFY, we’ll meet for annual tax planning to implement strategies that legally reduce taxes and avoid surprises.
Training & Ongoing Support ▼
Not sure how to do something, like lodge your first BAS or record a particular transaction? We’re here to help. As your external finance partner, we don’t just drop off a report once a year - we’re available for questions anytime. Many new owners treat us like a mentor or on-call CFO, asking advice on pricing, hiring, purchasing assets, etc. We love those conversations, because your success is our goal.
Client success story: Jane, an online retailer in Perth, came to us before launching her business. We set her up with Xero, registered her for GST, and showed her how to keep digital receipts. We also advised her to operate as a company for liability reasons. A year later, at tax time, Jane had zero stress – her books were tidy and we had already planned for her tax bill. She says our setup guidance was “the best money spent” as it let her focus on building her brand while we handled the finance side.
Expert advice on choosing and setting up the right business structure. Whether you are starting a new venture or looking to restructure an existing one, we’ll evaluate the options – sole trader, partnership, company, trust – and recommend the optimal structure. Our focus is on both efficiency and asset protection: safeguarding your personal and family assets from business risks. We can also review your current structure and suggest changes if it’s not providing adequate protection or tax efficiency.
“Cash is king” in any small business. We will help you prepare realistic cash flow forecasts and budgets, so you can plan for seasonal fluctuations and growth. By monitoring cash flow and comparing actuals to forecasts, we identify potential shortfalls in advance and craft solutions (like adjusting expenses or seeking finance). Our aim is to improve your business’s cash position, ensuring you can meet obligations and invest in opportunities.
Think of us as your external CFO. We provide business advisory services ranging from financial analysis of new opportunities to guidance on improving profitability. Are you looking to grow or scale up? We’ll analyze your financials and KPIs to pinpoint areas for improvement (cost control, pricing strategy, margin enhancement) and help set achievable goals. Considering a major decision like purchasing a new asset or expanding premises? We conduct feasibility studies and scenario planning so you can make informed choices.
Planning to eventually sell or hand over your business? It’s never too early to start succession planning. Link Accounting guides you through preparing your business for sale or transition – from valuing your business and tidying financial records to advising on tax-effective exit strategies (like small business CGT concessions). Our goal is to help you maximize the value you’ve built when the time comes to exit or retire.
We’re not just accountants; we’re partners in your success. Many of our small business clients benefit from regular coaching-style meetings. In these sessions, we review your financial performance, discuss challenges, and keep you accountable to your business goals. It’s like having a knowledgeable business mentor who can interpret the numbers and guide you on strategy. Our clients love that we explain financial concepts in plain language and help them become more confident business owners.
Frequently Asked Small Business Questions
What is a BAS return and will I need to do one? ▼
BAS stands for Business Activity Statement. If your business is registered for GST, you will need to lodge BAS returns either quarterly or monthly. The BAS reports your GST collected on sales, GST paid on expenses, and other tax obligations like PAYG. We assist clients by preparing and lodging BAS on their behalf, ensuring it’s accurate and on time. If you’re under the GST threshold (currently $75,000 p.a.) and not registered, you won’t have BAS obligations - but it might still be worth registering voluntarily, depending on your situation (we can advise on that).
Our first step with any new client is a complete review of your current operations and business structure. We want to understand how you’re set up, what’s working, and what needs improvement. From this review, we’ll provide you with actionable recommendations – whether it’s a better accounting system, a tax strategy you haven’t utilized, or an asset protection measure to put in place. Together, we develop a road map tailored to your business.
How can an accountant help me beyond just doing taxes? ▼
A good small business accountant (like our team at Link Accounting!) becomes a valuable business advisor. We don’t just crunch numbers; we interpret them to give you insights. We help with cash flow forecasting (so you don’t run out of cash unexpectedly), budgeting, pricing strategy, and identifying ways to improve profits or cut costs. We also ensure you’re meeting all compliance requirements (avoiding fines) and help plan strategically - for example, preparing for expansion, or eventually selling or succession planning. Think of us as a partner invested in your success, not an overhead cost.
Next, we’ll get you set up on our systems with minimal disruption. If you require a cloud accounting platform (like Xero), we handle the setup and training. We also liaise with your previous accountant or bookkeeper (if applicable) to transfer information seamlessly. Our team will ensure all ATO registrations, accounting files, and records are in order. You’ll meet the key team members who will be looking after you, so you know exactly who to contact for what.
I’m not great with numbers - will you explain things in plain English? ▼
Definitely. Many entrepreneurs are visionaries or experts in their field, but not trained in finance - and that’s okay! We pride ourselves on down-to-earth, jargon-free communication. When we meet, we’ll go over your financial statements or tax returns line by line, translating them into what it means for your business. We want you to feel confident and informed. And if you prefer not to get into the nitty-gritty at all, that’s fine too - we’ll provide succinct summaries and handle the details behind the scenes.
Throughout the year, count on us as an extension of your team. We’ll schedule regular check-ins – for some clients that’s quarterly strategy meetings (included in many packages), for others it might be a quick monthly call. Need advice out of the blue? Just ring or email us – we encourage questions and are happy to be your sounding board on financial decisions. And when those inevitable urgent issues pop up (say, a looming BAS deadline or a finance application needing statements), we prioritize getting you sorted fast.
Come end of financial year, we really roll up our sleeves. We’ll do a thorough tax planning session before June 30 to implement any last-minute strategies. After year-end, we prepare your financial statements and tax returns promptly. Then we sit down with you for an annual review meeting – to not only go over the past year’s results, but also plan for the year ahead. We’ll discuss tax-saving outcomes, business performance, and set goals for the new year. This annual cycle ensures continuous improvement and no surprises at tax time.
As a Link Accounting client, you also gain access to our network and resources. We have affiliates in financial planning, insurance, and lending (finance brokers) – so if you need help beyond accounting, we can refer trusted professionals. Check out our blog for free tips and our client resources library for handy guides on topics like record-keeping or cash flow. We want to empower you with knowledge, not keep you in the dark.
