Pricing · For accounting and financial planning firms

Accounting outsourcing prices

One price per return, set by whether your firm is a registered tax agent. Every price here is before GST, and your fee is confirmed in writing before we start.

What each covers

What each price covers

  • Business return: the year's financial statements and income tax return for one entity, with fully referenced workpapers.
  • Individual return: one person's income tax return, with workpapers. A sole trader's business is priced as a business return.
  • "For tax agents": your firm is a registered tax agent. The draft comes back to you to review and lodge.
  • "For other firms": your firm is not a registered tax agent, such as a financial planning firm. We lodge the return under our number, 24702003 (check it on the TPB register).

Questions

Questions firms ask about our prices

Are the prices before GST?

Yes. Every price on this site is before GST.

What does "for tax agents" mean?

Your firm is registered with the Tax Practitioners Board as a tax agent, so you lodge the return yourself.

Why are the prices higher for other firms?

We lodge those returns under our own tax agent number, and that brings a tax agent's work and duties with it.

Is a family trust's return priced the same as a company's?

Yes. A sole trader, partnership, family trust or company return is the same price.

Do the individual returns of a trust's beneficiaries cost extra?

Each individual return is priced on its own: $75 for tax agents, or $150 for other firms.

When do we pay?

The engagement letter we agree with you sets out how and when we bill.
