Accounting that keeps your whole strategy in sync.

Good accounting is about more than tax returns. It is about having clear numbers, smart structures and timely information so you can make confident decisions for your family, investments or business.

Our accounting team works hand in hand with your lending, wealth, insurance and legal advice, so every decision is aligned, efficient and focused on the future you are building.

How thoughtful accounting supports every stage of your financial life.

Accurate, up-to-date accounts give you a clear picture of where you stand now and what is possible next. From meeting ATO obligations on time to understanding cash flow, profit and tax, the right support can reduce stress and open up new opportunities.

We take the time to understand your goals, structures and wider advice. From there, we shape an accounting approach that supports your family, investments or business, rather than just reporting on the past.

Tailored Accounting Services

The right accounting foundations support every part of your financial world. Our team offers clear, practical guidance across tax planning, business services, structures, SMSF and day-to-day compliance.

Tax Planning & Minimisation

Proactive planning to help you manage and minimise tax over time, not just at year-end. We look at structures, timing and strategy so your tax position supports your broader financial goals while staying fully compliant.

Business Services

Support for the everyday numbers that keep your business moving. From management reporting and payroll to cash flow guidance and budgeting, we help you understand performance and what the figures mean for your next decisions.

Structures & Entities

Advice on using companies, trusts and other entities to help manage risk, tax and succession. We review how your structures work today and shape them so they better protect your assets and support your wealth and estate plans.

Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF)

Specialist support for trustees, from set-up and administration through to ongoing compliance and reporting. We coordinate your SMSF accounting with your broader advice so investment, tax and retirement strategies work together.

Compliance

Accurate, timely lodgement of BAS, tax returns and ASIC requirements, along with payroll and super obligations. We keep you on top of the details so you can focus on running your business and planning ahead with confidence.

The Lakeside Difference.

  • Clarity in your numbers

    We turn complex reports into simple, meaningful insights, so you understand what your numbers are saying about cash flow, profit, tax and progress toward your goals.

  • More than year-end support

    We stay involved through the year, not just at tax time. Regular check-ins help you manage obligations, plan ahead for tax and make timely decisions as things change.

  • Integrated with your full advice

    Your accounting does not sit in isolation. We coordinate closely with your lending, wealth, insurance and legal advice so every decision works together, rather than pulling in different directions.

When is the right time to review your accounting?

As life and business move forward, your accounting should move with you. Changes to income, business activity, investments or structures can all be signs it is time to check that your current approach is still the right fit.

Whether you are growing a business, taking on new debt, starting an investment plan or simply unsure if your current accountant is doing enough, a fresh review can bring clarity, confidence and better alignment with your long-term goals.

FAQs

Do I need an accountant if I already have bookkeeping software?

Software is a helpful tool, but it does not replace strategic advice. An accountant helps you interpret the numbers, meet obligations and plan ahead for tax, cash flow and growth.

How often should I review my business or personal accounts?

At least annually, and more often if you run a business, have investments or your circumstances are changing. Regular reviews help you stay proactive rather than reactive.

Can you work with my existing structures and advisers?

Yes. We can review what you already have in place, work alongside your current advisers or recommend changes where they would create better outcomes.

Do you only work with business owners?

No. We work with families, professionals, investors and business owners, tailoring the level of accounting support to what you actually need.

What is the benefit of having accounting and financial advice together?

Having everything under one roof reduces duplication, keeps everyone on the same page and helps ensure each decision supports your broader financial plan.
