Transparent Fees, No Surprises — So You Always Know Where You Stand
At Accounting First Australia, we believe complete clarity around fees is fundamental to a trusted advisory relationship.
It’s why we operate on a transparent, fixed-fee model — designed to give you certainty and confidence from the very start.
You’ll never be left worrying about hourly rates, surprise add-ons, or unexpected invoices. Instead, we take the time to understand the scope of your affairs up front, then provide a clear, all-inclusive engagement — so you know exactly what to expect.
✅ Why Fixed Fees Matter
You can call us to clarify an ATO letter, discuss a trust distribution, or check super rules — without worrying if the clock is ticking.
Knowing your costs in advance allows you to budget with certainty, especially for businesses managing cash flow or SMSF trustees planning retirement income.
We want you to see us as your long-term partners, not just another service provider. Transparency builds that trust.
🔍 How We Scope Our Fees Before we begin any work, we have a detailed conversation with you to understand:
-
The structure of your affairs (individual, company, trust, SMSF or combination)
-
Any complexities, such as multiple rental properties, business divisions, or multi-director setups
-
The level of bookkeeping, payroll or ASIC compliance required
-
Your future plans, to anticipate structuring needs or tax events
From there, we provide a tailored fixed fee.
This covers not just the immediate tax or compliance work, but also ongoing support throughout the year.
💬 Examples of Our Clarity in Action
Company tax returns
Start from $1,650, depending on your business size and reporting needs.
SMSF tax returns and audits
Start from $2,200, inclusive of all mandatory annual audit requirements.
Individual tax returns
Start from $220, with additional fees only if there are complex investments, CGT events or multiple schedules.
You’ll always receive a full written engagement outlining exactly what’s covered — so there are no surprises.
