As a tradie, your days are packed with client jobs, tools, and tight schedules. Bookkeeping and tax probably aren’t at the top of your to-do list — but they should be. A financial accountant and tax advisor can save you time, money, and stress. Here’s how.
1. Stay on the ATO’s Good Side
A qualified accountant will make sure your tax returns, BAS, and GST are always up to date and accurate. That means no missed deadlines, no fines, and no surprises from the ATO.
2. Claim Every Tax Deduction You’re Entitled To
Tools, vehicle expenses, mobile phone use, safety gear — the right tax advisor will make sure you’re claiming everything you legally can, without overstepping the line.
3. Keep Your Cash Flow Healthy
Tradies often deal with irregular income and delayed payments. An accountant helps you plan ahead and manage cash flow so you’re never caught short.
4. Get Paid Faster with Smart Invoicing
Still sending invoices manually? Your accountant can set up invoicing systems that automate reminders, reduce payment delays, and keep money flowing in.
5. Choose the Right Business Structure
Should you operate as a sole trader, partnership, company, or trust? A financial accountant can help you make the right choice based on your income, tax position, and future goals.
6. Don’t Neglect Superannuation
If you’re self-employed, you won’t have an employer making super contributions. Your accountant can help you stay on track and contribute tax-effectively for your future.
7. BAS & GST Without the Headache
If you’re registered for GST, you’ll need to lodge a Business Activity Statement (BAS) regularly. Your accountant ensures these are accurate, timely, and stress-free.
8. Easy Payroll & Subbie Payments
Whether you’ve got employees or use subcontractors, there are rules to follow. Your accountant ensures payroll is correct and helps with Taxable Payments Annual Reports (TPAR).
9. Grow with Confidence
Want to hire more staff or upgrade your tools? Your accountant can help with budgeting, forecasting, and decision-making that supports sustainable business growth.
10. Help When the ATO Comes Knocking
Falling behind on tax or got an ATO letter? Your accountant can negotiate payment plans and sort out compliance issues before they escalate.
