How we help
In Australia, only registered tax agents can charge a fee for preparing and lodging tax returns, giving tax advice or representing you to the ATO about your tax affairs. Registration means meeting the Tax Practitioners Board's qualification, experience and conduct requirements, including its Code of Professional Conduct.
As your tax agent, we can lodge your return, access your pre-filled ATO information with your authority, answer ATO correspondence and keep your lodgements on track. You don't need to visit an office — consultations can be arranged by phone, video call or email, at a time that suits you.

FAQs
Common questions
General information only — contact us for advice specific to you.
What's the difference between a tax agent and an accountant?
'Accountant' isn't a protected title in Australia, but 'registered tax agent' is a regulated status. Only registered tax agents can charge a fee for preparing tax returns or providing tax agent services.
Can a tax agent get me more time to lodge?
Registered tax agents have a lodgement program that may allow clients more time to lodge, provided you're on the agent's client list before your normal due date. Some returns are still due earlier, depending on your history.
Can you talk to the ATO for me?
Yes. Once you've authorised us as your tax agent, we can communicate with the ATO about your tax affairs on your behalf.
