The market for the provision of bookkeeping, administration and tax services to small business in Australia has changed.
More and more small business owners are demanding that all of those services come from the same person or firm. The reason? The business owners are sick of standing between their tax agent and their bookkeeper trying to decipher the differing feedback coming from the parties involved. Also, they can see in inherent inefficiencies of an arrangement where those services are split between a number of providers and, quite rightly, they believe they are paying for that inefficiency and the business owner definitely knows that it’s costing them time to work it all out.
If you are a public practicing bookkeeper then you are no doubt used to your clients regularly asking you whether you can do their tax work for the reasons explained above. You need to look at the negative ramifications for your business if you have to say no to that request. The positive ramification of offering tax services, increased revenue and an increased ability to acquire clients, are somewhat obvious. But it is also true to say that if your client is asking you if you can do both the bookkeeping and the tax work you can rest assured that they are asking their tax agent the same question.
We can help you offer tax services to your clients immediately and in the process help you get your relevant work experience hours to allow you to make your application to become a tax agent.
