Accounting for Established & Growing Businesses
Keep your tax planning, returns, BAS, payroll and reporting with one accounting team as the business grows.
What we see
Common accounting issues
- Books the owner kept alone start to fall behind once there are more transactions and staff to pay.
- Taking on staff adds payroll, Single Touch Payroll and super to the list of things to get right.
- With BAS, tax and ASIC work spread across different people, due dates are easy to miss.
- Owners can see the bank balance but often not the profit, or where the cash went.
Our work
What we handle
- BAS and GST We keep a calendar of your BAS lodgements and prepare each one ahead of the due date. See the BAS & GST Lodgement for Businesses page
- Business tax returns Company, trust and partnership returns prepared from checked books, along with the financial statements. See the Company, Trust & Partnership Tax Returns page
- Catch-up and bookkeeping If the books have fallen behind, we catch them up before anything else.
- Payroll as you hire When you take on staff, we set up payroll and run each pay with STP reporting and PAYG withholding. We prepare super for you to approve, or pay it if you authorise us. See the Payroll, STP & Superannuation page
- Reports for owners Reports on cash flow, costs and profit written for owners rather than accountants, and we go through them with you. See the Business Advisory & Financial Reporting page

FAQs
Common questions
What does an ongoing accounting arrangement with OziDesktop cover?
Your bookkeeping, payroll, BAS, annual tax and regular reporting, in one arrangement. We agree the scope and the calendar with you at the start, so you know what happens and when.
Do you take on one-off tax returns?
Yes. We can prepare your company, trust or partnership return on its own, even if you keep your own books. We review the records first and finalise the year-end statements, then prepare and lodge the return.
Our books are behind. Is that a problem?
No. We start with a review and catch the records up, then move to a regular routine.
Will the reports make sense to someone who is not an accountant?
Yes. They are written for business owners and focus on cash flow, costs and profit, and we walk you through them.
Do you only work with very small businesses?
No. We work with established and growing businesses, from owner-run operations with a few staff to larger teams that need more regular reporting.
Need something outside this scope?
Every business is different. If you need additional accounting, bookkeeping, advisory or specialist work, we'll explain what's required and agree the scope with you before proceeding.
