The ability to make personal deductible superannuation contributions is new

As of 2017, almost all tax-payers can make a private, personal contribution into their superannuation fund and then claim the contribution as a personal deduction when they do their tax return. You can contribute any amount provided that your total concessional contributions are not more than $25,000 in a particular year. Remember, the compulsory 9.5% superannuation guarantee contributions that your employer must make is included within this $25,000 limit.

So, if your employer has contributed $10,000 on your behalf, you can make a further contribution of $15,000. Read More

Challenges for growing small businesses

There are good reasons for hiring an accountant at different stages of your company's growth. From a business plan to company formation, loan application to government audit, an accountant can make life easier for you at each step. That doesn't mean you always need to employ an accountant full-time or hire one on a retainer basis. Sometimes just a couple of hours of their time will be enough. Like all small business owners who are looking to save money, you may think you can’t afford an accountant. But look at how long it would take you to do certain tasks (such as taxes), and ask yourself, is that a good use of your time? For example, let’s say it takes you 10 hours to do your taxes.

I First came into contact with Jeff when I was an employee in a company. I had certain expertise and Jeff encouraged me to open a business to use my skills. He set me up in a structure and helped me with a business plan and model to get me started. I was very successful and the advise I had to start up sent me on my way, and the structures he set up ensures my tax obligations are under control and the significant asset I have built is protected. Jeff was great at all stages. When I was an employee he maximized my refunds and got me into some great tax saving investments, and in business has guided me and encouraged me to success. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of a caring accountant.


I went to Jeff with a very complex business structure that was set up wrong by my previous accountant and I was not going to extract my Franking Credits or Carry forward losses and was creating some serious issues regarding asset ownership. Jeff implemented a plan for me to get these benefits rather than leaving them behind, and solved my asset ownership issues. His ongoing strategies have helped me obtain the best result for my situation.
