Starting a business but don't know what the first steps are?

We outline the pros and cons of possible business structures, to help you choose the right one for you. We can also set up the new entity for you! This could be a sole trader, partnership, trust, company, a not-for-profit organisation or even a combination.

We want to make sure that you understand what registrations you need. Combined with the business structure creation, we can register your business for a business name, tax, gst and payroll. 

At Country Tax & Accounting, we don't sell you our favourite software - we help you choose the one that's right for you! We can even offer discounts on the retail pricing on certain products - just ask.

  If you want to focus on your business, whilst someone else takes care of the administration, we are more than happy to do your bookkeeping for you. This includes payroll. 

If you're confident you can do your own bookkeeping, we encourage this too - with 1 on 1 sessions to help you learn the basics! 

Do you need a partnership agreement? 

What do you need to do to hire staff? 

Have you got insurance?

What will happen if one of the business partners wants to exit the business? 

These are just some of the things that can be addressed, depending on your individual situation.

As your business continues to grow, we can help you make informed decisions about your finances. From the smallest queries to preparation of business activity statements, tax returns, financial statements and cashflow projections.
