We provide simple, effective services that leave our clients with more time to do what they do best.
We're specialist property tax accountants for Australian investors. Every deduction claimed, every structure right, every return filed on time — that's all we do.
What we do for property investors
Annual rental property tax returns, every deduction claimed (depreciation, interest, insurance, travel, home office), filed within 30 days of receiving your info.
Setting up the right structure for your property — trust, SMSF, or Pty Ltd — and handling the annual accounting, financial statements, and ATO compliance.
Quarterly BAS lodgement, GST registration, PAYG instalments, and proactive advice when the rules change (negative gearing 2026, CGT 2027).
Here are the benefits of working with one of our Accounting specialists.
Property tax has its own quirks — depreciation schedules, structures, negative gearing, CGT timing. We specialise in it, so you don't have to figure it out alone.
Negative-gearing rules changed in May 2026. The CGT regime changes in July 2027. We've built our advice around what's coming, not what used to work.
Our team ensures your financials are in order, so you meet all ATO obligations while maximising legitimate deductions. Less stress, more confidence in your finances.
Your dedicated accountant is always available via phone or email with expert guidance and proactive support.

Have a question? You’ll find answers to some of the most common things our clients ask us. If you need more detail, we’re always happy to chat.
We're always available for a quick phone call or email to answer any simple questions. If a query needs more thinking or work, we'll provide a quote before doing anything so there are no surprises.
We keep up with the latest ATO rules to help you follow them and pay the least tax legally possible. Our tax planning service finds smart, compliant ways to manage your taxes.
We use modern accounting technology and best practices to streamline your financial processes. From implementing efficient accounting systems to automating routine tasks, we help you optimise your workflows.
We help you identify opportunities to increase your rental income and reduce unnecessary expenses associated with your property investments — from structuring to deduction strategy.
Property transactions like buying, selling, or renting come with tax implications — rental income, deductions, capital gains tax, depreciation. We walk you through how each one affects your tax position.
If you acquired an established residential property after 12 May 2026, you can no longer deduct net rental losses against your other income. But your losses can be carried forward, and if your property is held in an SMSF or widely held trust, the new rules don't apply. We help you figure out where you stand and what to do next.
The right structure depends on your goals, your tax position, and what you're planning long-term. With the new negative gearing rules, trust and SMSF structures are increasingly attractive. We walk you through the options before you buy — so you get it right the first time.
Our team specialises in staying updated on all the latest property tax rules and updates. We'll explain how these changes affect you and make sure you're doing everything right, so you can focus on your properties.
Having an accountant can still be really helpful. They save you time and stress by handling all the financial side of your properties. Plus, our team can give you advice on strategies to grow or optimise your portfolio.
