Ryan Wheeler
As a subcontractor, he made tax time incredibly easy and helped maximise my return by identifying deductions I would have otherwise missed. Professional, knowledgeable, and everything explained clearly.
Tyba Murphy
George has been friendly, kind and patient explaining the ins and outs of the process. I have used his services for four years and send everyone I can his way.
The Athletes Physio
He helped my business grow from a sole trader to a company with employees, every step of the way, with constant guidance on tax, payroll, superannuation, and PAYG. The service has been second to none.

Best accountant I have had in a long time. Would recommend these guys to anyone and everyone, of all ages.
Common questions
I am thinking of switching accountants. Is it a hassle?
No. We handle the handover with your previous accountant, request your records, and manage the transition for you. Most of the work sits with us, not with you, and we keep it straightforward.
Do you work with Xero and MYOB?
Xero is our preferred platform and we are part of Xero's partner program, so we set up, migrate, and run Xero, and handle payroll and day-to-day bookkeeping. We also bring close to 30 years of experience with MYOB. If you are on MYOB we are glad to keep supporting you there, or to help you move across to Xero when the time is right.
Do you work with both businesses and individuals?
Yes. We work with companies, small businesses, trusts, self-managed superannuation funds, and private clients, from annual compliance through to structuring and advisory work.
Do you handle self-managed super fund (SMSF) accounting and compliance?
Yes. We look after SMSF accounts, tax returns, member records and the annual return, and can set up a new fund or take over one from another accountant. Walch In Practice advises on SMSF strategy and structure, and arranges the auditor. Where you need financial product advice, we work with your advisers and can recommend someone from our network. More on superannuation and SMSF.
Do you advise family businesses on succession and estate planning?
Yes, on the accounting and tax side, working alongside your solicitor on the legal documents. We help plan the handover structure for a family business and its timing, so the business can pass to the next generation or to a buyer without an avoidable tax cost. We also cover the capital gains tax and GST that arise on estates, and the administration of deceased estates, including the date of death return and the trust tax return for the estate. More on estate and succession planning.
Do you prepare company and family trust tax returns for owner-managed businesses?
Yes. We prepare returns for individuals, companies, trusts, partnerships and self-managed superannuation funds, and handle BAS, GST and PAYG alongside them, with the business and personal picture kept joined up. Tax planning happens before the decision rather than after it, whether that is the 30 June resolution a family trust needs before year end, whether a company is taxed as a base rate entity, or the capital gains consequences of selling. More on taxation advice and accounting.
Where are you based, and do we need to meet in person?
We're at Suite 1, 307 Bay Street, Brighton, and we work with clients across Bayside, Melbourne and Australia. You're welcome to come in and meet the team, or we can look after everything online, by phone, email or video call, with your documents shared securely. Whichever suits you.
