Starting a business

Build the financial foundations for your business.

Starting a business brings decisions about structure, accounting systems and responsibilities. A conversation about your plans helps identify which work you need now and what can wait.

Before deciding

Questions worth working through.

You can start with what you know. The details can be discussed as the scope becomes clearer.

Your plans and circumstances

Explain what the business will do, who is involved and whether you have already started trading. Structure decisions need advice based on your circumstances.

A workable routine

Think about how you will invoice customers, keep records and manage payments. We can discuss the accounting support that fits that routine.

Relevant services

Support to explore.

These are starting points for a conversation. The right scope depends on your circumstances.

Business advisory

Business advisory for startups and growing companies. Explore cash flow forecasting, budgets, financial analysis and outsourced CFO support.

ASIC & corporate services

Company registration, ASIC annual review assistance and corporate record support. Get help with business names and company changes.

Accounting & tax

Accounting and tax support for individuals and businesses. Discuss tax returns, financial statements, GST and BAS with our Melbourne team.

Prepare at your own pace

Starting a business conversation checklist

Bring your plans and questions. These prompts do not decide a business structure or tax position.

Open the checklist

A few useful prompts

  • Describe what the business will do and who will be involved.
  • Note whether you have started trading and any registrations already in place.
  • List questions about structure to discuss with an adviser.

Print or download the full checklist. No email address needed.
