What we handle for agents and agencies

Income and GST
We reconcile commission statements, marketing rebates, and ancillary income. We set up GST correctly for sales, property management fees, and advertising charges. BAS aligns to your ledger and workpapers, not guesswork.

Deductions that hold up
Motor vehicle usage, mobile and internet, home office, client entertainment rules, training, subscriptions, photography, staging, and portal costs. We explain what is deductible, what is not, and how to keep evidence that stands up to review.

Cash flow for irregular income
Sales commissions arrive in spikes. We set a quarterly plan for GST, PAYG instalments, and super so tax does not wipe out cash the month it lands.

Payroll and contractors
For agency owners, we set payroll and super, Single Touch Payroll, and fair treatment of sales associates and property managers. Where there is a contractor arrangement, we explain risks and documentation.

Structure and risk
We review sole trader, company, and trust options, including service entities and asset protection. Advice is fully documented and ATO safe.

Audit preparation and trust
We prepare for Audit Services and support Trust Account Audits. Monthly trust reconciliations, ledgers, breach registers, and year end packs are produced on a consistent checklist so your auditor can finish without surprises.

Joined up support that saves time

Real estate moves quickly. Our team links Professional Bookkeeping Services, accounting, and tax so tasks do not fall between providers. Xero or QuickBooks is configured for agency needs, with tracking for sales, property management, and marketing. Reports show income by agent, listing pipeline costs, and rent roll performance. When the quarter closes, BAS and payroll summaries are ready. When the year closes, tax and working papers line up.

Planning that reduces risk

Smart tax is not about pushing the line. It is about using the rules correctly and keeping evidence in order. We show your team how to code transactions, store invoices, and record mileage. We plan CGT on asset sales, including business sales and rent roll transfers. If you invest through a Self Managed Super Fund, our SMSF Specialists handle Self Managed Super Fund setup and SMSF Accounting and Tax Returns with clear guardrails.
