Company accounting in Perth

Understand your company’s numbers and plan ahead

Running a company involves more than preparing the annual accounts. You need clear financial information, organised records and advice that takes your business plans into account.

Stewart Private Accounting supports small and medium businesses with accounting, taxation and business advisory services. We work with you to understand the business behind the figures and identify the support you need.

Accounting and taxation support

• Financial statements and financial reporting.
• Tax compliance and annual accounting work.
• Tax planning and estimates based on your trading results.
• Business establishment and structuring discussions.
• Cloud accounting and ongoing business advisory support.

We will discuss your circumstances and agree which services are included in your engagement. If you also need day-to-day record keeping, explore our bookkeeping services.

Connect annual compliance with business decisions

Your accounts can support decisions about cash flow, costs and business performance. Our business advisory services include cash-flow planning, forecasting, budgeting and performance reviews.

Our tax-planning process begins in April, with a review of trading activity, a tax estimate and recommendations suited to your circumstances.

What to prepare for your company accounts

A practical starting pack includes access to your accounting records, prior financial statements and tax return, bank and loan statements, asset purchases or disposals, payroll reports, and details of money paid to or received from directors and shareholders. We confirm the records needed for your engagement and the appropriate transfer method.

How an accounting engagement starts

1. Discuss the business. Tell us about the company’s activities, ownership, current records and upcoming deadlines.
2. Agree the work. Confirm the accounting, taxation, reporting or advisory services required, responsibilities and fees.
3. Prepare the records. Provide the agreed information and identify any missing records or outstanding matters.

If you are changing accountants, bring your latest accounts and return and explain any unfinished work. With your authority, we can discuss the records and handover needed. Timing depends on the records, outstanding issues and agreed scope.

Useful reading for business owners

Our guides to business versus hobby activities and trust tax return preparation explain issues to discuss where they are relevant to your wider circumstances.
