At Star Accounting we operate a bit differently to your traditional accounting firm. We have a phone line that runs 24/7 and staff that operate at different hours throughout the day. Our aim is to reply to all emails and calls within 24-48hours.
Completing your tax return with Star Accounting is simple. Once you become a client, we’ll guide you through the process and let you know exactly what information we need.
Typically, this includes documents relating to your income, such as PAYG summaries, interest, dividends, rental income or business income, along with any deductions you may be eligible to claim.
You can securely send us your documents through our client portal or via email. Once we receive everything, we prepare your tax return, review it with you if required, and lodge it with the Australian Taxation Office on your behalf.
Our goal is to make the process easy and stress-free while ensuring you claim everything you’re entitled to.
Starting a business can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out on your own. At Star Accounting, we work with new business owners every day and can guide you through the entire process.
We can help you with:
Choosing the right business structure (sole trader, company or trust)
Registering your Australian Business Register details such as an ABN
Registering for GST if required
Setting up accounting software such as Xero
Understanding your tax obligations and deadlines
Creating simple systems to keep your finances organised
Our aim is to set your business up properly from the beginning so you can focus on growing it.
Our fees depend on the type of service you need and the complexity of your situation. Before we begin any work, we will provide a quote so you know what to expect.
Some services are charged as a fixed fee, while others may be billed based on the time involved. We aim to be transparent and fair with our pricing, and we’re always happy to discuss options that suit your needs.
If you’re unsure what services you require, we can have an initial conversation to determine the best approach. We also offer payment plans to help with cash flow.
You’re not alone — many people fall behind on their tax obligations at some point. The good news is that it can usually be resolved fairly quickly once we have the right information. Star Accounting specializes in helping clients with outstanding lodgements get up to date.
We’ll work with you to:
Identify which returns or BAS statements are outstanding
Gather the required information
Prepare and lodge the overdue returns with the Australian Taxation Office
Help you get back up to date with your obligations
In many cases, we can also communicate with the ATO on your behalf to help resolve any issues and discuss payment arrangements if needed.
