ACCOUNTING FIRM CAIRNS: YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

A boutique firm which provides good quality and accurate financial statements and tax returns helping you to grow and succeed is what is important to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do tax returns for individuals?

Most definitely. We welcome you to come and see Werner to do your tax return.
Do you take your fees out of the refund?

We only organise your refund to go into your bank account. So we require our fee to be paid before your tax return is lodged.
How long does it take for me to get my refund?

Once your return is lodged, it normally takes 7-9 days for the refund to hit your bank account. It is best not to depend on this, as the Tax Office does have 28 days before you can ask where your refund is and there is also Murphy’s Law.
Do you offer investment advice?

We specialise in small business and tax services. We do have financial planners who we recommend and work with. We receive no commissions from financial planners recommended so as to keep our independence and your trust.
What business structure should I have?

There is no straight forward answer to this. The business structure depends on your individual circumstances. So make an appointment to see Werner to discuss the business structure that is best for you.
Do you do Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF)?

Yes, we administer, compile financial statements and income tax returns for SMSF’s. We do organise the SMSF’s audit as well. Should you need a financial planner, we do have financial planners who we recommend and work with. We receive no commissions from financial planners recommended so as to keep our independence and your trust.
Why is cash flow important?

Cash flow is the very foundation from which you build your business and future. If you are spending time juggling money, you are not concentrating on growing your business. So make an appointment to see Werner to discuss your cash flow.
Should I buy, lease or chattel mortgage my new equipment?

There is no straight forward answer to this. The main consideration is your cash flow and your type of GST registration. You should talk to your accountant before you make any large purchases. So make an appointment to see Werner to discuss.
Can you do my Minimum Financial Requirements (MFR) Report for QBCC?

As a holder of a current public practising certificate from the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants (CPA), we are able to complete MFR Reports up to category 2 or a revenue of $12 million.
