For small business owners, the services of an accountant can be of significant importance. As accountants we are involved in more than preparing financial statements and tax returns – we can provide assistance on everything from estate planning to business financing.
To make the most of our skills, knowledge and experience, its best to come prepared to every meeting with a few questions.

At the end of this month, the ATO will shutdown its e-Tax system for another year. If you have not lodged your 2008 income tax return, there is no need to panic.
It’s not too late… we can help you
Like all Registered Tax Agents, Prouse Family Accountants has access to an extended lodgment program and can prepare and electronically lodge 2008 income tax returns all year round.
Every year we prepare thousands of income tax returns for everyone of our clients. We call ourselves “family accountants” because we specialise in families: tax, business, investment, superannuation.
We’re efficient, relaxed, straight forward and convenient.
We prepare all income tax returns – individuals, partnerships, companies, trusts and self managed super funds. All forms are fully checked by a registered tax agent and then lodged electronically with the ATO.
The Important Question: How long does it take?
Typically, a tax return takes between ten to fourteen days to be processed and assessed by the ATO.
We strongly encourage our clients to keep their tax records in an organised and “accountant friendly” manner. To assist our clients we have created a simple checklist for individual tax return preparation – REGISTER ONLINE – and we’ll instantly email you a copy. To make an appointment please call us on 9246 9055.
The Obvious Question: How much does it cost?
Every tax return is different, and our fees depend upon the complexity of your return but for a general pricing guide:
| Individual tax returns (salary & wage) | from $110 |
| … with a rental property | + $50 |
| … with capital gains | + $50 |
| … deduct fees from your refund | + $20 |
| Sole Trader/Partnership returns | from $220 |
| Company returns | from $660 |
| … with full financials | + $220 |
| Self Managed Super Fund (return only) | from $220 |
| … with full financials prepared | + $220 |
| … with audit report prepared | from $330 |
Of course, the fees quoted above are only a guide. If your financial or tax arrangements are more complex or your paperwork is disorganised, then your tax return or audit will take longer to do – and we will charge you more.
