    "I was doing invoices at 10pm and still couldn't tell you what a job actually made. Now the books are done, BAS is never late, and I know my margin on a build before I quote the next one. Best money I spend each month.“

    If any of this is you, this page was built for you

    “I'm on the tools all day and doing invoices at 9pm — and the quotes for next week still aren't out.”
    “There's a shoebox in the ute. That's my bookkeeping system, and BAS is due in a fortnight.”
    “I finished the job and I still couldn't tell you whether it made money once materials and subbies came out.”
    “My bookkeeper and my accountant blame each other — and I pay for both.”
    You didn't pick up the tools to chase paperwork. You want it handled — books, BAS and tax, by one team that owns the whole job.

    The Tax + Books™ Plan

    Everything a building business needs. One team. One fee.

    Most building businesses pay a bookkeeper AND an accountant — two invoices, two people blaming each other. Here's what happens when one team owns the whole job:

    Tax + Books™ core service

    Your own dedicated registered tax agent + dedicated Xero bookkeeper. Monthly books, quarterly BAS, business tax return, year-end financials, ASIC management, Dext subscription, Unlimited Advice. One team — no blame game, no year-end surprises.
    $8,635/yr value

    The 30-Day Clean Books Turnaround

    Whatever state your books are in — months behind, shoebox of receipts — they're clean and current within 30 days of onboarding. Includes up to 10 hours of catch-up bookkeeping, free when you join.
    $990 value

    Never-Late Lodgement Promise

    If a lodgement we control is ever filed late, we pay the ATO fine. Not "we'll help you deal with it" — we pay it.
    Priceless

    48-Hour Answer Guarantee

    Every question answered inside 48 hours, or that month's fee is credited back. The three-week silence ends here.
    Priceless

    Unlimited advice, all year

    Ask anything, any time. There is no clock running — a question will never turn into an invoice.
    Priceless

    Bonus: Free Xero or SoleApp setup or migration

    We take the risk, not you

    Four guarantees. In writing.

    Every one of these exists to kill a reason you'd hesitate. If we don't deliver, it costs us — not you.

    90-Day Walk-Away

    Try us for 90 days. Leave any time — no penalties, no exit fees, and your Xero file goes with you, clean and up to date. We earn your business every month or we don't deserve it.

    30 Day Clean Books Guarantee

    Whatever state your books are in we’ll have them clean and current within 30 days of onboarding. Includes up to 10 hours of FREE catch-up bookkeeping, free when you join.

    Never-Late Lodgement Promise

    Any lodgement in our control that's filed late — we pay the ATO fine. Full stop.*

    48-Hour Answer, or It's Free

    Every question answered within 48 business hours, or that month's fee is credited back to you. You will never wait three weeks for an answer again.
    *Conditions apply — full guarantee terms are set out plainly in your engagement letter. "In our control" means we hold the records and authority needed to lodge on time and have received your approval to lodge. Response times are measured in business hours (weekends and public holidays excluded). Walk-Away: 90-day minimum period with 60 days' written notice, which runs concurrently when given inside the 90 days. The 30-day turnaround runs from completed onboarding and pauses while we await your records.
    Going out on your own?

    Going subbie? Get set up right

    Most carpenters go subbie or start their own building business within a few years, and that first year of change is where tax gets messy. PAYG income, ABN income, GST and quoting your first jobs can all fall in the one financial year. We set you up from day one, sort your ABN and GST registration, get you onto Xero, and put you on the same monthly package that keeps established building businesses running. You start on the right footing.
    Talk to us about getting set up

    From wages to your own ABN, in four moves

    1. ABN and GST registration — done for you, with the right registration date so you're not caught short.
    2. Structure advice — sole trader or company? We'll tell you which one actually suits your work and your risk.
    3. Xero or Sole set up and bank feeds connected — free, so your first invoice goes out of a real system.
    4. Monthly package starts — books, BAS and your return, all on one fixed fee from day one.
    Your return is part of the package

    Tax returns and deductions for carpenters

    Your return is part of the package, and because we know the trade, nothing gets missed. Carpenter tax deductions commonly include:
    Tools and test equipment: hand tools, power tools, saws and nail guns, claimed outright under $300 or depreciated above it.
    Vehicle, ute and trailer: running costs on a logbook or cents-per-kilometre basis, and plant as a business asset.
    Licences, insurance and tickets: white card, working-at-heights and asbestos-awareness tickets, public liability and tools cover.
    Materials and subcontractors: timber, fixings and what you pay other trades, for those on an ABN.
    Sun protection and workwear: sunscreen, sunglasses and hats for outdoor work, plus hi-vis and boots.
    Phone, software and home office: the work portion of phone, quoting and accounting software, and home-office costs.

    Tax rules change and everyone's situation is different. The examples above are general information, not personal advice. A registered tax agent should confirm the figures for your circumstances before you lodge.
    Step one — find out where you stand

    The $197 Books Health Check & Catch -up

    Before you commit to anything, a real accountant — not a salesperson — reviews your books and tells you exactly where you stand. You get:
    A full review of your Xero (or spreadsheets, or shoebox), your books and your last BAS — by a registered tax agent and a Xero-qualified bookkeeper
    A written Books Health Report — errors found, deductions missed, ATO risk flags, and the estimated dollar impact of each.
    A 30-minute call where we walk you through it in plain English — no jargon, no judgement about how far behind you are.
    $197 credited in full against your first month if you join. Keep the report either way.
    $197
    ✓ Credited 100% against your first month when you join
    Worst case: you're out $197 and you know exactly where your books stand, in writing.
    Best case: it costs you nothing — and your books problem is over for good.

    Everything owners ask before they join

    It is a single fixed monthly fee with no lock-in and no surprise bills, from $275/month paid yearly on the Tax + Books™ plan. The exact amount depends on whether you are a sole trader or a company and how much activity you have. Book a call and we will quote you up front, in writing.

    No. We look after chippies, joiners and building businesses of all sizes, from a sole trader on the tools to a builder with a crew. The bookkeeping and tax work is tailored to how you operate.

    Yes. Your business and individual returns are prepared and lodged as part of the package, with every deduction claimed. There is no separate tax-time bill.

    Yes. We sort your ABN and GST registration, get you onto Xero, and start your monthly bookkeeping so your first year on your own is clean from the start.

    Yes. We set up job or project tracking in Xero so materials, subbies and labour land against the right job. Your quarterly profit review then shows you which jobs made money and which ones only looked like they did.

    We handle progress invoicing and keep retentions visible in your accounts, so you know what is still owed to you and when it is due to be released — and so GST lands in the right quarter.

    Yes — it’s the thing we’re best at, and nobody here will judge you for it. Whatever state your books are in, our rescue team gets them clean and current within 30 days of onboarding, and up to 10 hours of that catch-up work is free when you join Tax + Books™. If your backlog is bigger than that, we’ll quote the rest upfront at $99/hr before we start — no surprises.

    A registered tax agent (not a salesperson) reviews your books, software file and most recent BAS, then produces a written Books Health Report: errors found, deductions missed, ATO risk flags, and the estimated dollar impact of each. We walk you through it on a 30-minute call. If you join, the $197 is credited in full against your first month. If you don’t, you keep the report — it’s yours either way.

    There are no long-term lock-in contracts and no exit fees. Your only commitments are a 90-day minimum period and 60 days’ written notice — and the notice runs concurrently with the minimum, so if you give notice a week in, you’re still free at day 90. Whenever you go, your Xero file goes with you, clean and up to date, and anything you’ve paid beyond your end date is refunded pro-rata.

    You’re paired with a dedicated registered tax agent and a dedicated Xero bookkeeper who know your business by name — backed by our national team of 50+ ex-corporate accountants for anything unusual. One team, one point of accountability. No blame game between your bookkeeper and your accountant, because they sit on the same team.

    If a lodgement that’s in our control is filed late, we pay the ATO’s late-lodgement penalty. “In our control” means we hold the records and authority needed to lodge on time and have received your approval to lodge. The exact definition is spelled out plainly in your engagement letter. In practice it’s simple: give us what we need and approve on time, and a late lodgement becomes our financial problem, not yours.

    Books. BAS. Tax. Done.

    One team, one fixed monthly fee, current within 30 days — guaranteed. Behind on your books? We'll clean up the mess free when you join. If a lodgement we control is ever late, we pay the fine. Every question answered in 48 hours or the month's on us. No lock-in — leave any time and take your clean Xero file with you.
