Areas of Practice
Accounting & Tax
Getting the right tax advice ensures your returns are accurate and that the supporting deductions back up those claims. All future events will be considered, such as a change in career or the sale of an investment, and it is vital to receive the right advice in order to maximise your net income.
Business Advisory
As your business grows or changes it is necessary to take on some assistance. We can provide a consultation on the current structure of your business (including your sales and expenses) and assist with strategies to help manage your cash flow and any payroll issues. By doing this, there may be opportunities we can identify to use any surplus cash.
Bookkeeping
Peter is able to work with you on your current software or provide assistance in selecting a suitable program for your record keeping, tax or management requirements.
