Accountants Hyve

Everything we do

One firm across your whole business life — and exactly how we do each part.

From registering your business to lodging every return, here is the full range of what we do and the process behind it.

Service 01 — of 10

Business registration

We set your business up correctly from the very first day — the right structure, every regulator, and all the tax registrations in place, so you can start trading without a single loose end.

  1. 01

    We understand your plans

    A short conversation about what you are building and where you want it to go.

  2. 02

    We choose the right structure with you

    Sole trader, company, trust or partnership — each has different tax and protection.

  3. 03

    We register the company

    Lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, which issues the company number.

  4. 04

    We apply for your numbers

    The Australian Business Number and the Tax File Number for the entity.

  5. 05

    We register you for the right taxes

    Goods and Services Tax and Pay As You Go withholding, where they apply.

  6. 06

    You receive a business ready to trade

    Everything filed, nothing forgotten.

Bookkeeping

We keep your day-to-day financial records accurate and current in Xero, so every report and lodgement that follows is built on clean, trustworthy numbers.

  1. 01

    We connect your bank feeds

    Transactions flow into Xero automatically.

  2. 02

    We categorise every transaction

    Coded correctly so your reports actually mean something.

  3. 03

    We reconcile each period

    Your records matched against the bank, to the cent.

  4. 04

    We resolve the questions with you

    Anything unclear is checked, never guessed.

  5. 05

    You always have up-to-date books

    The foundation for everything else we do.

Service 03 — of 10

Business Activity Statements

Every quarter or month we prepare and lodge your Business Activity Statement with the Australian Taxation Office — the Goods and Services Tax you collected and paid, and the tax withheld from your team’s wages.

  1. 01

    The period ends

    We are already watching the calendar so you do not have to.

  2. 02

    We gather your records

    We chase what is missing — that is our job, not yours.

  3. 03

    We reconcile the books in Xero

    Clean numbers before anything is calculated.

  4. 04

    We calculate what is owed

    Goods and Services Tax and Pay As You Go amounts, worked out precisely.

    A senior accountant reviews it

    Nothing is lodged before a second set of expert eyes.

  6. 06

    You approve, and we lodge

    Submitted to the Australian Taxation Office, with the amount and date to pay made clear.

Service 04 — of 10

Income tax returns

Once a year we prepare and lodge income tax returns for individuals, companies, trusts and self-managed super funds — claiming everything you are genuinely entitled to. As a registered tax agent, we usually secure you a later deadline than lodging alone.

  1. 01

    The financial year ends on the thirtieth of June

  2. 02

    We collect your income and expenses

    A simple, guided checklist — no shoebox required.

    A senior accountant reviews it

    Accuracy checked before it ever leaves the firm.

    You approve, and we lodge

    Sent to the Australian Taxation Office on your behalf.

    We finalise the year for you

    A single end-of-year declaration, no payment summaries to chase.

Self-managed super funds

We set up and run self-managed super funds properly — the trust deed, the strict registration deadlines, the yearly return, and the independent audit the law demands.

    You decide to manage your own superannuation

    We talk through whether it is the right move for you.

    We register the fund within sixty days

    Lodged with the Australian Taxation Office and elected to be regulated, so it keeps its tax concessions.

    Year after year, kept compliant.

When you sell a property, shares or another asset, we work out the capital gain precisely and fold it into your income tax return — applying every discount and exemption you qualify for.

  1. 01

    You sell an asset

    Property, shares, a business — anything with a gain.

  2. 02

    What you paid, plus the costs that count.

    To the dollar.

    We apply discounts and exemptions

    Such as the fifty per cent discount and the main-residence exemption.

    We include it in your income tax return

    Reported correctly, taxed fairly.
