02Strategic AdvisoryBusiness advisory, cash-flow management, virtual CFO support and planning that happens during the year rather than at year end.

03Corporate FinanceBuying or selling a business, succession, CGT concessions and the transaction support around them.

04Wealth & SuperannuationSMSF setup, administration and audit, asset protection and the superannuation strategy around property and retirement.

Who we work with

Businesses, individuals and families

Business ownersTrading entities, trusts and groups — from a single company to a multi-entity structure with related-party dealings.

IndividualsSalary and wage returns, investment properties, share portfolios and the deductions people most often miss.

FamiliesTrust distributions, estate planning basics, education funding and property held across generations.

Engagement

Three steps, no surprises

The free initial consultation is exactly that — a conversation, not a sales meeting.

Initial consultation

A needs assessment: what you have, what is missing, and what the work would involve. Free.

Tailored strategy and proposal

A written scope, fee and timeline — including what we are not doing.

Implementation and ongoing support

Work delivered, deadlines diarised, and a review cadence agreed for the year ahead.

Illustrative examples

What the work looks like

Anonymised scenarios written to show the shape of an engagement. They are illustrative examples, not client case studies or outcomes.

Illustrative exampleCloud migration for a trades businessA six-person business moves from spreadsheets to cloud accounting, with chart-of-accounts cleanup, job costing and a monthly reporting rhythm established.

Illustrative exampleMedical practitioner, two entitiesService entity and trading entity separated, with the documentation and pricing that make the arrangement defensible, then reviewed annually.

Illustrative exampleProperty investor structuringOwnership modelled across personal, trust and company options before a second purchase, with land tax, CGT and lending capacity tested in each.

Illustrative exampleDivision 7A rectificationRelated-party loans reviewed, compliant loan agreements put in place and minimum repayments scheduled before the ATO position became a problem.

One roof

The tax work and the property decision are one conversation

Most of the value comes from timing: structure decided before the contract, depreciation claimed in the first return, CGT modelled before a sale rather than after it.

Property-owner tax: negative gearing, depreciation, CGT and land tax
SMSF: setup, administration and audit
Business advisory: cash flow before you commit

Team profiles, credentials and the CPA practice badge shown elsewhere on this site are placeholders to be confirmed. No real client testimonials are used. General information only. Tax outcomes depend on your individual circumstances and current law — speak to a registered tax agent before acting. GBS Accountants & Advisors Pty Ltd (ABN 21 602 221 830, Registered Tax Agent 26377003) is a separate business within the group.

Working together

How a referral between businesses works

When the right next step sits with another business in the group, we ask you first. You decide whether the introduction happens.

Client consent first — nothing about you is shared with another business without your agreement.
Each business advises only within its own licence. IR Property does not give tax or credit advice, GBS advises on tax and accounting only, and Next Step Financing provides credit assistance only.
Any referral fee, commission or benefit paid between businesses in the group is disclosed to you before you engage.
