The decisions you make in the first few months – your structure, your share setup, how you keep the books – shape your tax, your risk and your ability to raise money later. We help you get them right from day one, so you’re not paying to unwind them in two years.

Startups are different from established businesses in one important way: the most consequential financial decisions get made at the very start, when there’s the least money and the least time to think about them. The structure you choose, the way you split shares, how you treat money the founders put in – these are cheap and easy to set up correctly on day one, and expensive and disruptive to fix once you have revenue, staff and maybe an investor on the cap table.
The other reality of a startup is that cash is the thing that kills you, not profit. Plenty of good ideas run out of runway before they find their feet. So beyond getting the structure right, the job is to keep the books clean enough that you always know your numbers, point you toward the R&D incentives and grants you may qualify for, and help you see how many months of runway you actually have – while there’s still time to do something about it.
The right entity, share structure and registrations to launch on – built to suit your plans and any investors.
Clean books in Xero or MYOB from day one, so you always know your numbers and your runway.
Guidance on the R&D tax incentive and grants, and the financials they require, where you qualify.
Company and founder tax returns, BAS, payroll and the obligations that come as you grow.
We help you launch on a structure that fits where you’re heading – entity, registrations, share setup and founder arrangements – so you’re not paying to unwind and rebuild it once you have revenue and investors.
We set up your bookkeeping, get you on top of GST and payroll before they bite, and keep an eye on runway – so the financial side is solid and visible while you focus on building the thing itself.
First-time founders. People going from idea to entity who want the setup done right without the jargon.
Tech and product startups. Businesses building software or technology, where R&D, structure and a future raise all come into play.

Funded and scaling startups. Businesses that have raised or are about to, where clean numbers and investor-ready reporting matter.
