Tax & Accounting

We’re always looking for ways processes can be improved or things can be done better. We want to reduce your worry, especially with compliance work. Here’s a quick rundown of our tax and accounting services: We keep an eye on the annual compliance needs of individuals, companies, trusts, partnerships and SMSF’s (including the preparation of Income Tax Returns, Financial Statements, BAS’s and FBT returns). If you are looking for business accountants who offer strong advice on company tax deductions, small business company tax, and superannuation changes then we should talk.

Tax Advisory

We take the time to understand your circumstances so that we can ensure your taxation affairs are structured to be as advantageous as possible. Whether it’s business structure advice, company tax deductions, small company tax, capital gains tax, small business concessions, Division 7A loans or GST and FBT. As your tax agent our ongoing review of your tax position, coupled with any taxation updates, puts you in the best place possible. No disappointments. No unpleasant surprises.

Business Advisory

You need the experienced insight of an advisor who is committed to giving your business every financial advantage. Your family business funds your present lifestyle, and your secure future. With the changing economic landscape, there are both opportunities and challenges ahead and it’s easy to be consumed by the ‘day-to-day’. Think of us as your Virtual CFO. We will design a business approach that takes into account your current performance, future profitability and cash flow budgets, strategy implementation and development, financial performance analysis and reporting, as well as succession planning and valuations. Everything a full-time CFO can offer, but without the full time expense. It’s an approach relentlessly designed for your financial advantage.

Family Law Property Settlements

At DBS, we are mindful of the nuances in family law when providing valuation and taxation services, ensuring that all parties have a clear understanding of the financial landscape. As a single expert, our working knowledge of family businesses, together with our experience in family law, allows us to provide impartial and objective valuations. Alternatively, we can act as a shadow expert, providing a critique of a valuation or assistance with structuring a property settlement. Our commitment is to empower our clients with accurate financial information, enabling them to make informed decisions in a timely and productive way.
