Personalised Tax Strategy

We begin by understanding your full financial picture - whether you’re a sole trader, a growing business, or an individual with investments. Using this knowledge, we identify every deduction, offset, and concession available to you. Our tailored strategies might include timing of income and expenses, splitting income with family members, utilizing trusts or companies, and other proven methods to legally reduce your taxable income.

Navigate Complex Laws

Australian tax law is complex, but our experienced tax accountants make it simple. We stay up-to-date on the latest changes in tax legislation and ATO guidelines. From small business tax concessions to personal capital gains tax rules, we’ll ensure you take advantage of all relevant opportunities. You can have peace of mind that your plan is not only effective but also fully compliant with the law.

Year-Round Proactivity

Tax planning isn’t a one-off task - it’s an ongoing process. We monitor your situation across the financial year. For businesses, this means quarterly or mid-year reviews to adjust strategies based on performance. For individuals, it might include advising on transactions (like selling an asset) before you make them. By being proactive, we help you avoid pitfalls (such as unexpected GST or capital gains bills) and seize timely opportunities (such as instant asset write-offs or superannuation contributions before deadlines).

Business Structuring for Tax Efficiency

Sometimes the biggest tax savings come from choosing the right business structure. As part of our service, we evaluate whether you’re best operating as a sole trader, partnership, company, or trust. If a change could save you money and protect your assets, we’ll explain the benefits and handle the restructuring process for you (see our Business Structuring page for more details on this). The correct structure can dramatically reduce tax and liability exposure.

GST, BAS and Compliance Support

Our tax planners are also skilled in indirect taxes and compliance. Worried about GST? We’ll advise whether you should register for GST (considering the $75k turnover threshold and your situation) and help you prepare accurate Business Activity Statements (BAS). We make sure you claim the GST credits you’re entitled to and meet all ATO lodgement requirements on time. No more last-minute BAS panic - we’ve got you covered.

Our Tax Planning Process

Initial Review

In a free initial consultation, we discuss your current tax position, prior year returns, business operations, and future goals. This gives us a roadmap of where you stand and what might be possible.

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

Identify Opportunities

We conduct a thorough review to spot areas of potential savings. This can range from simple fixes (like correcting your PAYG withholding or adjusting instalments) to more strategic moves (like deferring income or accelerating expenses around June 30, or utilising small business tax concessions).

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.

Plan Implementation

We’ll present you with a clear tax plan, explaining each recommendation in plain language. Upon your approval, we help implement the strategies. For example, if the plan includes additional superannuation contributions for tax benefits, we’ll guide you on how and when to contribute. If it involves establishing a trust, we’ll take care of the setup and registration.

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. 

Monitoring and Adjustment

Life and business are not static. If something changes - say you earn extra income or buy an investment property - we adjust the tax plan accordingly. Regular check-ins ensure that the plan remains optimal and that you’re on track with any action items we’ve recommended.

“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.

Year-End Tax Return Integration

When it’s time to file your tax return, there are no surprises. All our planning feeds smoothly into your return preparation. Because we’ve been working together all year, your tax return becomes a straightforward summary of a well-executed plan, rather than a scramble to find deductions.

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.

Peace of Mind and More Profit in Your Pocket

Working with a professional tax planner means you can focus on your business or personal pursuits, knowing that your tax affairs are in expert hands. Many of our clients report feeling relief – “I finally understand my tax situation” or “I know I’m not overpaying anymore”. We love hearing that, because reducing financial stress is a big part of what we do.

And yes, our tax planning services pay for themselves. By uncovering savings and helping you make smart financial moves, we aim to deliver tax reductions that far exceed our fees. It’s an investment in expert advice that yields real returns.

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.

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.

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.
