Starting or working in a family business can come with a series of benefits like shared values, loyalty and flexibility.
Like any business, a family business has its own unique challenges and requirements. Family owned businesses also need their financials taken care of in order for the business to run smoothly and successfully. If one of the family members involved in the business isn’t an expert in administration, bookkeeping and accounting, the business can face road blocks.
Not only will it be more consuming for someone who isn’t a qualified Accountant to take care of the financial side, but it can also leave a lot of room for human error. For these reasons, it can be hugely beneficial to outsource all of the accounting work in a family business for a skilled professional to take care of.
Our Accounting Services for Family Businesses
Taxation compliance
It’s absolutely imperative for every business to abide by the rules and regulations set out by the ATO. If a company isn’t tax compliant, they can find themselves in serious legal trouble and owe large amounts of money. Our Accountants are experts in ensuring family businesses are tax compliant and that tax related deadlines are met.
Furthermore, they have extensive experience when it comes to preparing tax returns for family businesses and will ensure that all the necessary deductions are claimed, leaving more money in your pocket at the end of the day. Our Accountants can also help resolve any tax implications family businesses face in Australia.

Our accounting professionals are skilled in devising plans to lead to business success. They will study data, like cash flow reports and financial statements, to anaylse what costs can be cut and how the financial future of the business can be improved. From here, our Accountants can work with you to devise a plan to ensure a successful family business.

Superannuation assistance
There are a variety of different options when it comes to Superannuation and the best choice will depend on the business (and individuals) specific needs. Things like fees, insurance and investment options should all be considered when choosing a fund. Our Accountants can help advise you on what fund is a good fit for your circumstances.

Preparing for family succession
Family succession is the process of handing over the management and/or ownership of the business to another family member. While this sounds simple in theory, it can actually be a complex matter and all financials will need to be recorded correctly before family succession can begin. Our accountants can help you with succession planning and assist with conducting the transfer.
Why Hiring an Accountant Can Help Your Family-Owned Business Succeed
An outside point of view
Because family members tend to know each other so well, sometimes financial problems can escalate quickly and become emotional. An accountant will be able to look at your financials from an outside point of view, and offer advice to help your business thrive. They are also there to provide solutions to benefit your business when you face a crisis.
Time management
The financial side of a business has many different elements, and these can be both complex and time consuming. By outsourcing all matters related to your family business financial matters, it will free up a significant amount of time for the family member who undertook this job previously. This newly freed time can be spent on a better work/life balance leading to more harmony at work, or it can be spent on other business related matters that will help your company grow.
Increased profits and business success
Hiring an Accountant for your family business can help in a variety of ways. An Accountant can recommend business restructuring in order to maximise profits, maximise tax returns and they can help free up time to allow workers to be more productive. All of these elements should lead to increased revenue for the company.
Minimised errors
Accountants study and practice for years before they are fully qualified. This experience teaches accountants to learn exactly how to analyse financial data correctly and learn what rules apply in every regard. By using an experienced Accountant for your family business, you can be sure that your accounts are taken care of correctly and that no errors are made.
