Hello, I have just opened a Pty Ltd company. I generate income (2 x per year) from a single customer overseas which goes into my personal account. This will be transferred to my Pty company. Also starting to generate income from a 2nd local company (one invoice per month). Am working from home most of the time. So things are pretty simple. I basically need to know what it would cost to submit my returns for me and also will need advice on what can be claimed as tax deductibles. Many thanks Glen
Hi I need a set of books audited for tax and professional registration purposes. I am a small experimental drone manufacturer designing a prototype system. Currently, I have no income other than director contributions (loan account) and some expenses for material and electronic components. Records are kept in QB online.

I need an accountant, and tax practitioner to work in collaboration. I do my rep updates myself, but will supply all required documentation, for telephonic appointments. All my TB's are absolutely correct. But I need someone to submit provisionals, and tax. Also, my experience is, that smallwr companies doesn't really need their AFS, at fin year end. When they need to buy vehicles, overdraft, or such financial assistance. The financial institutions, doesn't want to work with management statements, but current AFS. This would mean, that the client would need to pay for AFS, at fin year end, and then, again, later through the year. I'm just starting up. I do all my own footwork and submissions. I need a pricelist, for acting as my accountant, and tax practitioner. I would like to have a pricelist, for said requirements. I need to have decent fees, please? I use to work for an accounting firm, handling 64 clients, mostly VAT registered, along with all statutory duties. I have severe Ortho arthritis, hand couldn't handle the pain,pressure, and sitting in the same position anymore. I'm starting up from scratch, with just enough clients, that can cover my expences, and have a decent salary. Even retired accountants will be appreciated.

I read the Robert and Kim Kiyosaki book about how a key step in their journey out of debt and towards building an empire was having a bookkeeper with whom they met monthly, starting when they didn't have a lot of money.
