Sole Traders & Tradies
You do the work. We handle the paperwork.
BAS on time, books kept tidy, and no nasty surprises from the ATO. Set up so you can run it all from your phone between jobs.
What we look after
Everything between the invoice and the ATO.
ABN & GST set-up
Starting out? We'll register your ABN, tell you whether you need GST (you must register once turnover hits $75,000, or straight away for taxi and rideshare work) and set you up properly from day one.
Quarterly BAS
We prepare and lodge your BAS, remind you before it's due, and tell you what to put aside so the bill is never a shock. Lodging through a BAS agent can also give you extra time.
TPAR for subcontractors
Pay subcontractors for building, cleaning, courier, IT or security work? We'll check whether you need a TPAR and lodge it by 28 August. Read our TPAR guide.
Xero or MYOB on your phone
Quote, invoice and snap receipts on site. We set up the app, connect your bank feed and show you the three things you actually need to do each week.

Common questions
Good to know.
I pay subcontractors. Do I need to lodge a TPAR?
If you're in building and construction, cleaning, courier or road freight, IT, or security, investigation or surveillance, and you pay contractors for those services, you probably do. It's due on 28 August each year. Read our TPAR guide.
Do I need to register for GST?
You must register once your GST turnover reaches $75,000 a year, or straight away if you drive taxis or rideshare. Below that it's optional, and sometimes worth it. We'll talk through which suits you.
I'm behind on my BAS. Can you help?
Yes. We'll catch up the outstanding quarters, deal with the ATO on your behalf and, if needed, help set up a payment plan. The sooner we start, the more options there are.
Who does my tax return?
We don't lodge income tax returns. We keep your books and BAS up to date all year, then hand clean, reconciled figures to your accountant at 30 June, so your return is quicker and cheaper. Don't have an accountant? We can introduce you to a registered tax agent we trust.
