BAS & GST Lodgement
Quarterly BAS lodged on time, every time. We handle progress-payment GST timing so cash flow doesn't kill you.
We're the accountants Aussie builders trust to slash tax, sort BAS and TPAR, and keep the ATO happy — so you stay focused on the build.
Retentions, variations, deposits, claim 5 of 7 — your accountant treats it like one big lump. You eat the GST timing pain.
Every quarter the ATO wants money. Once a year subbies need reporting. You're chasing receipts at 11pm the night before.
No structure. No depreciation strategy. No idea what your real margin per job is. The builder down the road turns over half what you do and takes home more.
We fix all three. Have a yarn with us — no charge.
Call 0431 516 783From BAS to TPAR, job-by-job profit reports to Home Warranty Insurance support — built around the way builders actually work.

BAS, tax, payroll, TPAR, advice when you need it. You build. We keep you sorted with the ATO and keep more dollars in your pocket.
Most accountants do a bit of everything. We chose the building industry on purpose — because the way you make money is different, and the way you save tax should be too.
One weekly number. One invoice. No timesheet billing, no surprise charges, no clock running every time you ring up.
Most builders settle between $200 and $600 per week. The exact number depends on your entity structure, turnover, number of subbies and how tidy your books are when we take over. We quote in writing before you commit — no surprises.
Quoted separately: structure setup, ATO audits, R&D claims, business sale & advisory projects. Always fixed-fee. Never hourly.

If you want to keep more profit, yes. Builders deal with progress payments, retentions, subcontractors, TPAR, GST timing on long jobs, and high site risk — none of which a generalist sees every day. A specialist saves you tax and saves you hassle.
The Taxable Payments Annual Report is mandatory for businesses in the building and construction industry that pay contractors. It's due 28 August each year and reports every dollar paid to subbies. We handle it for you as part of our standard service.
Yes — this is one of our specialties. We prepare the financial statements, working-capital and net-asset positions that iCare HBCF (NSW) and equivalent insurers in QLD, VIC, WA and SA require for builder eligibility and turnover limits. We package it the way brokers and insurers actually want it, so applications and renewals don't drag on.
Work-in-Progress is the value of jobs that are part-finished at 30 June — costs incurred but not yet invoiced (or progress claimed but not yet earned). Getting it wrong distorts your taxable income: too high and you pay tax on profit you haven't actually made yet; too low and the ATO can come back later. We calculate it properly using stage-of-completion or cost-to-cost methods so your year-end position reflects reality.
Maybe. It depends on your turnover, your asset position, who's in your household, and your appetite for site risk. We'll model it for you on the discovery call — no obligation. Most builders past around $200k turnover benefit from a Pty Ltd, often with a discretionary trust.
Fixed weekly fee, agreed up front, in writing. Plans start from $200 a week and most builders settle between $200 and $600 per week depending on your entity structure, turnover, number of subbies and how clean your books currently are. We'll quote you on the call — one weekly number, no hourly billing, ever.
