Accountants for Business Startups

You have just started (or decided to start) your new business – congratulations, what an exciting journey business ownership is. Please take comfort that just like you, we all started at the beginning. Through our decades of experience, we have guided many new business owners and startups through their tax and accounting journey and help them build the businesses of their dreams.

You wouldn’t go on a long journey without the getting the basics ready, would you? Without food, water, or a map, you’d eventually have to turn right back around! The same can be said for your business. Having a solid foundation for your business consisting of the right processes, software, systems, people and training is critical if you want to see long-term success.

In our first meeting, we will work together to identify 5 key areas to ensure the basics are setup correctly:

Understanding what success looks like for you and planning for it;
Discussing which type of structure is right for you;
Discussing the types of taxes and tax lodgements you will need;
Looking at the choices for accounting and bookkeeping software;
Guiding you through putting money aside for your taxes and to pay yourself.

We are here with you all the way. After our first meeting we will work together to setup everything we spoke about in our first meeting and continue to guide you through the first week and months.

We offer unlimited quick (5 minute) support questions and emails – so you are never alone.

We work with clients of all different shapes and sizes and can offer a range of packages and solutions based on your current and future needs.

Some of our clients simply need a virtual CFO for the short term, while others need ongoing support for a longer period. They might be undertaking a new project, orchestrating a merger, acquiring new assets, or changing their business structure.

A virtual CFO is a game-changer for growing businesses. Our virtual CFO service provides you with access to timely and accurate bookkeeping via our bookkeeping team, quality accounting reports and tax preparation through our accounting team, and a hands-on external Chief Financial Officer who really understands your business, driving your success and results.

Our team can work with you to help grow your business quickly, for as long as you require. We work closely with businesses in this phase to help grow your business and bridge the gaps when you require support in your journey.

Working with you in this capacity, we’ll also help formulate and implement business growth strategies that can grow your business quickly or help you:

Prepare for a new product launch or a launch to a new market
Boost productivity over a key period
Amplify sales
Implement new business growth strategies
Invest in new technology or implement new systems
Get out of debt
Set up new staff or new management systems

We know that each business faces unique challenges. We’ll work with you to create a tailored package of services, based on your needs.

Understanding Your Needs

First, we’ll meet with you to understand the most pressing needs of your business. This is one of the most important stages in our process, as all businesses vary in size, complexity, structure and a whole range of other characteristics.

We will work together to uncover key questions like:

How will you set up your business, to begin with?
Are you a sole trader or do you have ambitions to grow a large team?
Where do you see your business in the next five years?
What are your short, medium, and long-term goals?

We’ll use this information to start creating the building blocks that will define the right structures, processes and systems that you need to succeed.

If you’re already an established business, we’ll take a look at the systems and processes you already have in place and assess what’s working – and what’s not! We’ll start strategizing about how we can optimise your systems to better suit your business structures in order to help kick your goals more efficiently.

Implementing Software and Support Systems

The right software can revolutionise the way you do business. If you’re not already set up with efficient or appropriate software, we’ll suggest and implement the right systems to help you.

From data entry to tracking your finances, we’ll automate even the most mundane of tasks to help your business flow more smoothly.

Comprehensive Training

Without the right training, new systems are redundant. We’ll show you how to utilise new tools and software so they work harder for your business. This will empower you to:

Train you how to prepare your bookkeeping
Set up new business processes efficiently
Get you started with your accounting software

Ultimately this training will improve efficiency within your organisation and make you more agile as a leader within your organisation. You’ll be able to onboard new staff methodically and your existing staff will have clear expectations when it comes to processes like managing payroll or logging expenses.

What Our Clients Say

Chris and the team have offered constant and ongoing advice and support as we’ve faced the challenges of a fast-growing business. QC Accountants have been able to keep up with us and guide us each step of the way. QC’s highly experienced and friendly staff have a deep understanding of our business’s unique needs and are an absolute pleasure to work with. I’d recommend QC to anyone as they’ve always been there offering excellent support whenever needed.

When purchasing our business Chris from QC Accountants provided a comprehensive due diligence report and this report was crucial in understanding the business we were purchasing. We then used this information to negotiate the purchase price. He also assisted with providing documentation to the bank to help secure our business loan. The past 18 months during COVID have been challenging, Chris’s ongoing support, help and advice has been priceless during this difficult period. QC Accountants took the stress away when applying for Job Keeper, cash-flow boost and Government grants. AC Fitouts is extremely happy with Chris and the team at QC Accountants. They are wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend their services. They are professional, knowledgeable, reliable and friendly.

QC Accountants has been of great assistance to my business in setting up and implementing an efficient accounting system which has permitted strategic decision making surrounding marketing, service expansion and investments. They have great communication, a friendly and down to earth team, and are transparent and always willing to assist or provide advice when needed. QC has an array of services which were tailored to our individual business needs, not to mention competitive pricing.

QC Accountants have been instrumental in the growth and streamlining of my business. They have assisted me with tax grants that I would have otherwise not known about or been unable to complete alone. The team at QCA are very responsive, friendly and patient. If I have a problem or question, they are onto it right away. I would recommend them to everyone because they are an honest and local business that you can trust.

QC Accountants were a shoulder to lean on in our early days, helping and guiding our business to meet all our regulatory and financial obligations. They kept their steady hand on the tiller, playing the role of Chief Financial Officer, from financial modelling, budgeting, bookkeeping, financial accounts preparation, board management accounts, liaising with our auditors - nothing was too much. This allowed us to focus on growing our business with their financial input which was invaluable! Their accessibility, their willingness to listen to our particular needs and coming up with a solution is first class. For any business out there that doesn't have the ability to have a dedicated Financial Director then appoint QC Accountants. They will get the job done and give you back the time to focus on what is important to you and your business.

QC Accountants have been a great foundation of knowledge and support for us as new business owners. I'm able to call or email anytime with the same day turnaround and there is always someone on hand to help navigate any issues within the business. There is never a problem too big or small! I would recommend QC Accountants because they are relatable, reliable and efficient. As a new business owner learning the ropes, it is really nice to be able to call and have someone teach me the process in how they solved an issue so I can learn along the way. I've always felt like there are no silly questions and we are all part of a team.
