Small Business Accounting in Gold Coast
Our experts provide strategic business consulting and tax advice for business owners
A business is an ever-evolving entity. Even in the early stages of planning, those that set out to create a particular kind of business may find that their strengths lie elsewhere, and so they will tweak their business plan to create the kind of organisation they believe stands the best chance of survival.
At Watson & Watt, we deliver small business accounting services to Gold Coast entrepreneurs and those that are navigating the often-choppy waters experienced when a business enters the market place and vies for its share. Too many small businesses fail every year and the reality is that this happens because the majority of them do not have proper advice from the get-go.
Small Business Accounting On The Gold Coast
Our team seeks to fully understand the financial position of our clients and we build strategies that enable them to not only get off the starting blocks but to grow quickly and gain a competitive advantage in their chosen field.
By taking advantage of the technological advances and cloud-based software that is now accessible, we reduce the time required to complete the smaller, but important menial tasks, and invest the time freed up in helping our clients to create plans that will help them achieve their goals.
Accounting Advice for All Stages of Business
Regardless of what stage of business you are currently in, seeking the assistance and advice of accountancy specialists is always worthwhile. Those that are currently drawing up their business plans stand to gain just as much as those that are already trading.
Having the support of experienced and knowledgeable strategists can help you determine the best business structure and afford you a more comprehensive analysis of the financial projections you have in place for your endeavour.
Depending on the level of support you require, you could also stand to gain advice on how best to proceed in terms of tracking expenses and where deductions for tax purposes could be made as you proceed through the financial year.
Small business accountants allow Gold Coast entrepreneurs that are already up and running the chance to consider their current financial position and identify growth areas within their operation.
Naturally, you will have advice on tax payments and expert support that will ensure that your financial reports are properly put together, but this is backed by industry-specific information that could enable you to take advantage of seasonal trends and cash flow patterns.
Here at Watson & Watt, we believe in forecasts and budgeting for those that wish to leverage their current position and make smart decisions throughout the year that enable them to remain competitive and, of course, viable. Inventory management, pricing decisions, identifying where expenses could be curbed and creating a strong plan are all essential to helping your business thrive.

How does your pricing work?
All our pricing is fixed, agreed in advance and paid via direct debit. And for those that qualify we offer a 12 month payment plan at no extra cost where we spread the costs of the year’s services over 12 equal instalments.
Each year we will send you a new proposal with updated pricing and schedule of services.
Should you require additional services in the period we will provide you with a proposal for those services before we do any work. That way you are always in control.
What happens after we enquire?
After you submit an enquiry we will organise a time to for a free video meeting or phone call at a time suitable for us both. This meeting can go up to 30 minutes long and is a chance for us both to get to know each other, find out what you are looking for and whether we are a good fit for each other.
If we both agree that we can work well together and deliver you the outcomes you are looking for, we will provide you with a proposal for our services which will outline the services, costs involved and our terms and conditions. Once that is accepted there are some compliance requirements we need to satisfy such as ID verification and tax agent linking on the business portal. But we will outline all that in detail once that time comes.
Do you do individual tax returns?
We only do individual tax returns for those individuals who are part of a business group (e.g the shareholders/directors) we do the accounting for, and for those with substantial investments and investment structures such as family trusts or self-managed super funds.
How do you work with clients?
We work with our clients through a combination of email, phone, video and if the case requires it, face to face meetings.
