In Australia, a qualified accountant should hold registration as a Tax Agent with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB). Additionally, many choose to become members of professional bodies such as CPA Australia, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ), or the Institute of Public Accountants (IPA). At Accountants Point, our team includes CPA and CA qualified professionals with extensive experience in business accounting, tax advisory, and financial planning.

While not legally required, having an accountant for your small business is highly recommended. An accountant can help you save money through tax planning, ensure compliance with ATO requirements, provide financial insights for decision-making, and save you valuable time. Many small business owners find that the cost of an accountant is quickly offset by tax savings and improved financial management. Additionally, having a professional prepare your tax returns reduces the risk of errors that could trigger audits or penalties.

Accountants Point uses leading cloud-based accounting software to provide our clients with real-time financial visibility. We work with Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, and Reckon, depending on your business needs and preferences. Cloud accounting allows you to access your financial data from anywhere, collaborate seamlessly with your accountant, and automate many manual processes. We provide training and support to help you get the most out of your chosen software.

The frequency of meetings depends on your business complexity and needs. At minimum, we recommend meeting quarterly to review financial performance and tax planning strategies. During these reviews, we analyse your profit and loss, cash flow, and key business metrics. For more complex businesses or during periods of growth or change, monthly meetings may be beneficial. We also schedule additional meetings as needed for specific projects or tax planning activities. At Accountants Point, we tailor our service to your needs.

Yes, accountants can significantly improve your chances of securing business financing. We help prepare financial statements, cash flow projections, and business plans that lenders require. We can also advise on the best type of financing for your situation—whether it's a bank loan, equipment finance, invoice factoring, or alternative financing. Our understanding of financial metrics and lender requirements means we can present your business in the best possible light to maximise your chances of approval.

Bookkeepers focus on day-to-day financial record-keeping—recording transactions, reconciling bank statements, managing accounts payable and receivable, and preparing invoices. Accountants focus more on analysing financial data, preparing tax returns, providing strategic advice, and ensuring overall financial compliance. At Accountants Point, we offer both bookkeeping and accounting services, providing a complete financial solution. Many clients benefit from having both, with bookkeepers handling routine tasks and accountants providing strategic oversight and tax expertise.

Switching to Accountants Point is straightforward. Simply contact us to discuss your needs, and we'll handle the rest. We'll contact your previous accountant to request transfer of your files and documents (with your authorisation). There's usually no disruption to your service—we coordinate the transition seamlessly. Many clients find that the process takes just a week or two, and we ensure all your historical records are properly transferred. We also recommend meeting with us before the end of the financial year to maximise tax planning opportunities.
