Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We support GST and BAS requirements as part of our tax and compliance services for eligible business clients. We help make sure reporting is prepared properly and lodged in line with Australian obligations, while also helping you stay on top of ongoing compliance requirements throughout the year.

Yes. We provide ongoing monthly bookkeeping support for businesses that want their records kept current and organised throughout the year. This includes the day-to-day accounting tasks that help support accurate reporting, smoother compliance, and better visibility over business performance.

Yes. We provide payroll services including payroll processing, payslips, payroll reporting, and payroll compliance support. This helps businesses stay organised and meet their ongoing payroll obligations while reducing the risk of errors or missed requirements.

We work with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks. We can work within your existing accounting software or help set up a new system if needed. That gives clients flexibility whether they already use one of these platforms or need support choosing and implementing a suitable setup.

Yes. We assist with tax notices, tax authority correspondence, and follow-up questions related to tax matters. If you receive a letter or notice and are unsure what it means or what action is needed, we can help you understand the issue and respond appropriately.

Yes. We provide ongoing business advisory support throughout the year. Our advisory work focuses on practical business issues such as cash flow management, business structure, expansion planning, risk analysis, and business plans, so you can make decisions with clearer financial insight.

We work with a broad mix of clients, including individuals and businesses of different sizes and structures. Our client base includes sole traders, partnerships, companies, and trusts, and we support clients across many industries. Rather than focusing on one narrow niche, we provide accounting, tax, bookkeeping, and advisory services that suit a wide range of Australian clients.

Our accounting and bookkeeping services cover ongoing monthly bookkeeping, catch-up bookkeeping, and year-end accounting support. We handle day-to-day transaction recording, bank reconciliations, accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoicing support, expense tracking, and accounting reports. We also provide reporting such as profit and loss statements, balance sheets, cash flow reports, and management reports, helping you keep your records current and your business information easier to understand.

Yes. We provide catch-up bookkeeping for businesses that need help bringing records up to date. This is useful when bookkeeping has been delayed, records are incomplete, or reporting has not been kept current. We work through the backlog carefully so you have clearer financial records to support compliance, reporting, and ongoing decision-making.

We do both. In addition to preparing and lodging tax returns, we provide broader tax compliance support that can include reminders, reviews, lodgment planning, and follow-up assistance throughout the year. Our goal is not only to complete a single task but to help you stay more organised and better prepared for future obligations.

We prepare tax returns for individuals, sole traders, partnerships, companies, and trusts. Because different entity types have different reporting needs and tax obligations, we tailor our work to the structure involved and the records available. This helps ensure the return is handled in a way that reflects the client’s actual circumstances and Australian tax requirements.

Yes. We assist with penalty remission requests and payment plan support where appropriate. We do not promise a specific outcome, but we can help you understand your position, prepare the relevant information, and take practical steps to address outstanding obligations in a professional way.

We provide year-round tax planning support, not just tax return services at year end. Ongoing tax planning can help you stay ahead of important decisions, manage obligations more effectively, and reduce surprises later. This is especially useful for business clients who want clearer planning around cash flow, timing, structure, and compliance.

Yes. We can work within your existing Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks system if that is already what your business uses. This allows us to support clients without forcing a platform change when the current setup is suitable. We can review what is already in place, work within that system, and help keep your accounting and bookkeeping processes moving smoothly.

Yes. We can assist with new accounting file setup and migration from another system. Our confirmed setup scope includes new file setup, chart of accounts setup, and payroll setup. This is helpful for new businesses, businesses changing software, or businesses that want a more organised accounting structure in Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks.

Good reporting gives you a clearer view of how your business is performing. We provide reports such as profit and loss statements, balance sheets, cash flow reports, and management reports so you can better understand income, expenses, financial position, and cash movement. Clear reporting also supports stronger compliance, better decisions, and more confidence when planning the next steps in your business.

Yes. Business structure advice is one of our core advisory services. We assist clients who are starting a new business or reviewing an existing structure to better understand practical considerations around operating as a sole trader, partnership, company, or trust. Structure decisions can affect tax, administration, risk, and future growth, so we provide guidance that supports informed decision-making within the Australian business environment. Where relevant, business owners should also be aware of registration and company obligations connected to ASIC.

Yes. Cash flow management and business plan support are part of our business advisory services. Many businesses need more than compliance work alone. They need practical advice that helps them understand where the business stands, what pressures may be developing, and how to plan for future growth or change. We provide support aimed at improving clarity and helping business owners make better financial decisions over time.

We believe trust is built through clear communication, realistic advice, and professional accountability. Sharp Accounting Group is an Australian accounting business serving clients across Australia, and we display our Tax Agent Registration Number 26346364 and MIPA number 324879 as part of that transparency. We focus on confirmed service areas, avoid exaggerated claims, and provide support that is aligned with the actual needs of individuals and businesses.

Yes. Sharp Accounting Group displays Tax Agent Registration Number 26346364 on the website, along with MIPA number 324879. These details help clients verify that they are dealing with a professional accounting business that takes credibility and transparency seriously. For tax-related matters in Australia, this kind of clarity is important when choosing who to trust with your records and obligations.

Yes. Our payroll service includes both payroll processing and payroll compliance support. That means we do not only help produce payslips and payroll reports, but also support the compliance side of payroll obligations. For employers, this can be valuable because payroll often affects day-to-day operations as well as broader workplace obligations. Depending on the issue, Fair Work requirements may also be relevant alongside payroll recordkeeping and reporting.

The first step is to contact us and let us know what you need help with. Some clients come to us for a tax return, some need overdue lodgment support, and others want ongoing bookkeeping, payroll, or business advisory services. Once we understand your situation, we can discuss the most relevant support based on your needs, your business structure, and your Australian tax or accounting requirements.

No. We keep the website focused on the services we have confirmed. We offer Accounting & Bookkeeping, Tax Returns & Tax Compliance, and Business Advisory. We do not advertise services such as SMSF, financial planning, virtual CFO services, superannuation or retirement fund services, VAT, or international tax services, because our tax scope is Australia only.
