What can a business accountant help me with for EOFY? 

Business accountants can assist with so much more than simply filing a tax return. Your accountant can manage several tasks for you to ease some of the chaos this EOFY. 

Maximising deductions 

The end of the financial year is an optimal opportunity for reducing any tax debt and maximising your tax return via deductions. An experienced business accountant will be able to identify potential deductions that you may have overlooked yourself, helping to minimise your tax bill.  

Compliance 

It is crucial that your business remains compliant with tax regulations. Finding out unknown issues at EOFY can be stressful for business owners. Your business accountant can check your books for any issues and will assist you to ensure your business is doing the right thing. 

Future planning 

EOFY is a great time to look ahead and plan for the future of your business. Engaging with a business accountant is a great way to seek expert advice and input for your plans for the next financial year.
