Get your business off to the right start.
Turning a great idea into a real business is exciting — but the early days are a whirlwind. From choosing the right structure to figuring out what to register, lodge and track (and whether you really need that $1,200 logo — spoiler: probably not yet), it’s a lot. Good thing there’s us. We help Geelong start-ups put the right systems in place, avoid common pitfalls, and grow with confidence — not crossed fingers.
Sole trader, partnership, trust, or company? Your structure affects everything from tax to liability, so it’s a decision worth getting right from day one. We’ll walk you through your options, explain the pros and cons, and help you choose the structure that best supports your goals (and protects your assets).
ABN, GST, PAYG, WorkCover, Payroll Tax — the checklist feels endless. We’ll take care of the paperwork and set you up correctly the first time, so you can avoid red tape down the track and hit the ground running.
Corporate compliance isn’t exactly thrilling — but it is essential. We’ll handle ASIC requirements, company registrations, and other secretarial obligations, so your business is ticking all the right boxes from the get-go.
A solid plan turns ambition into action. We can help you map out your business plan, build budgets, create financial forecasts, and stay on top of your cash flow. Whether you’re applying for finance or just want a clear picture of your runway, we’ll help make the numbers meaningful.
Getting your accounting systems set up right from the start is one of the best decisions you can make. We offer full-service support or flexible bookkeeping depending on your needs — from daily transactions to BAS lodgements — and we’ll integrate your accounting tools (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks etc.) so everything works together smoothly.
