We provide ongoing business and strategic advice and assist them with the day-to-day accounting functions of the local subsidiary including monthly management accounts, payroll, financial report preparation, monthly and annual tax and accounting compliance requirements and corresponding with local auditors and other stakeholders as required.

Foreign consultancy

A Foreign consultancy company sought to set up a local operation but did not want the added burden of setting up a local subsidiary – we advised them on their options and guided them towards registering a foreign company in Australia. We corresponded with the regulatory bodies and attended to all compliance requirements regarding the registration of the foreign company so it could legally operate in Australia. We provide ongoing business advice whilst ensuring compliance with all annual, quarterly and monthly ASIC, accounting and taxation.
