Depending on your circumstances, getting set up with the correct legal operating structure can be crucial for taxation and asset protection.

Company
Unit Trust
Family Discretionary Trust
Hybrid Trust
Sole Trader
Partnership
Limited Liability Partnership
Partnership of Trusts/Companies
Financial reporting
When running a Small to Medium Enterprise (SME), you will want to ensure you receive timely and reconciled financial reports so you can keep abreast of how you are tracking. Accurate financial reporting will be critical when assessing the business’s financial performance, and these reports will usually be required by your financiers and any potential purchasers when exiting/selling. At Tribel Accountants, we provide year-end reports and offer a virtual monthly and quarterly CFO service that allows you to be confident with the numbers presented. In addition, we will give you a professional’s perspective explaining what the numbers mean and what has happened to the cash either generated by the business, injected via debt or capital. Such services include:
Management accounting
KPI and benchmarking analyses
Virtual CFO services providing detailed reporting for family or corporate entities on a monthly/quarterly basis
Monthly or quarterly meetings re your business performance
Year-end financial statements
Taxation matters
Running a successful business will almost certainly mean paying some level of taxes. Of course, minimising these taxes legally can be crucial in allowing your business to preserve cash flow for working capital needed to grow it into the future. Structuring your tax affairs in a carefully planned manner is where Tribel Accountants comes in! We believe that profitable businesses should always plan from their inception and then before the end of each tax year, to take advantage of any existing or changes in the tax laws (usually just after the Federal Budget in May). By providing you with options to minimise your tax, you can determine cash flow requirements moving forward and be ready for when the amounts are due so that the yearly result does not become an unpleasant surprise! Such taxation services include:
Tax planning
Capital Gains Tax including the Small Business Capital Gains Tax Concessions and how to apply them
Specialised taxation advice
Business Activity Statements preparation for GST/PAYG (quarterly or monthly)
Annual Tax Return preparation, including Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) and arranging their yearly audit.
Structure Reviews
Payroll Tax
Land Tax
ASIC Compliance
Having a corporate structure will mean ensuring you are compliant with the regulator’s requirements of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Non-compliance can lead to significant fines and penalties and, in some cases, expose Directors’ assets (such as their homes), meaning asset protection has been lost. We provide advice to clients in the following corporate compliance areas to minimise risk:
Registered office location
Company register maintenance
Director/shareholder changes
Company deregistration
Company set up
Business Name Set-Up and Renewal
