Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that tax and accounting can be challenging, time consuming, and often overwhelming.
At Perth Tax Professionals, we are here to make the process easier for you. Our team is dedicated to providing clear, straightforward guidance to help you navigate your financial obligations with confidence.

A business structure refers to the legal framework under which a business operates. In accounting, it determines how a business is taxed, the reporting obligations, and the financial responsibilities of owners. Common structures in Australia include sole trader, partnership, company, and trust.

The best structure depends on your goals, risk exposure, and tax situation. Many accountants operate as companies or trusts to gain tax efficiency and limit personal liability. However, sole trader or partnership structures may suit smaller practices or those just starting out.

A business accountant plays a vital role in managing finances, maintaining accurate records, ensuring compliance, preparing tax returns, and offering strategic advice. They help business owners understand financial performance and make informed decisions to support growth and profitability.

Accounting structures refer to the internal systems and processes a business uses to record, organise, and report financial data. This includes the chart of accounts, accounting methods (cash or accrual), and software tools. A well-defined accounting structure ensures transparency, compliance, and accurate financial reporting.
