Accountants for Sole Traders

The busiest business owners going

As a sole trader you’re the jack of all trades – doing the work, running the business and everything in between. We work closely with you to make sure the business is set up correctly (structure and software), easy to manage day to day (bookkeeping and tax lodgements), and free of nasty surprises like unknown tax bills.

Want to keep growing? We’ll help you navigate the next steps – employing a team, leasing equipment, buying assets. Happy at today’s size? Then we simply provide transparent, convenient and reliable bookkeeping, accounting and tax.

Transparent tax and compliance

We’re passionate about doing the right thing by our clients, so everything is clear and upfront: transparent services, pricing and timelines, with clearly defined expectations at every step. You’ll always know what to expect, what your obligations are and what comes next – with automated reminders prompting you well before each deadline.

Maximising your refund

It’s easy to miss deductions doing your own tax – or working with an accountant who doesn’t know your industry. Our experienced accountants help you:

• Unlock tax concessions and industry-specific deductions
• Track your records properly through the year with the right software
• Avoid the mistakes that trigger ATO attention
• Anticipate next year’s tax savings, not just this year’s

Weigh up the hours it takes to organise the paperwork yourself and you’re usually better off – in time and in dollars – with a professional on it.

Accuracy you can rely on

We’re in it for the long term, and that only works with first-class service. QCA has a long history of accurate returns lodged on time – so the ATO is never knocking on your proverbial door.

The services that back it up

Every business is different, so we build a tailored package around where you’re at – and adjust it as you go.

Common questions

Should I stay a sole trader or set up a company?

It depends on your risk, income and plans. We walk through the trade-offs in plain English – and if staying a sole trader is right, we’ll tell you that too.

What can I actually claim?

More than most people think, and it varies by industry. We know the industry-specific deductions and make sure nothing you’re entitled to is missed.

Can’t I just do my own tax?

You can – but between the hours it takes and the deductions that get missed, most sole traders come out ahead with an accountant. We’ll be honest with you either way.

What happens when I want to hire someone?

That’s a good day. We set up payroll, PAYG withholding and super properly from the first hire so it never becomes a mess.

What does it cost?

Transparent pricing, agreed upfront – no clock-watching and no surprises at invoice time.
