Small Business Accountant Melbourne

Your small business deserves an accountant who picks up the phone.

Melbourne small business owners switch to The Field Group because they want an accountant who knows their business, returns their calls, and gives advice before they have to ask for it. Not just at tax time, all year round.

No obligation. No sales pitch. Just a conversation about your business.

Sound Familiar?

You email your accountant on Monday. By Thursday, still nothing. You call and get voicemail. When you finally get through, they rush you off the phone and promise to “look into it.”

End of financial year rolls around and suddenly they need everything yesterday. You scramble to pull records together. A few weeks later, the bill arrives, bigger than expected, with no explanation of what they actually did for you.

Meanwhile, you’re left wondering: Am I paying too much tax? Is my business structured properly? Should I be doing something different?

You don’t need a cheaper accountant. You need a better one.

What Makes Us Different

How can we help?

What Makes Us Different From Other Small Business Accountants

1. We respond. Every time. We make it easy to get in touch. Whether it’s a quick question or something more involved, you’ll always get a timely response from someone who actually knows your business. No chasing, no waiting days for a callback. We built our reputation on the thing most accounting firms get wrong: being available when you need us.

2. Proactive advice, not just compliance. We don’t just wait for your call. We watch your numbers year-round, flag tax savings, recommend restructures before June 30, and prepare management reports so you can see exactly where your money is going. A good small business accountant brings you opportunities before you have to ask.

3. Everything under one roof. Tax compliance, BAS, payroll, business structuring, succession planning, buying or selling a business. We cover it all. And for anything outside accounting, we have trusted referral partners for insurance, finance, legal and HR that we’ve worked with for years. You don’t need to go searching.

Services

Tax and BAS

Staying on top of tax obligations, BAS lodgements and ATO deadlines can feel like a second job. We handle all of it, on time, every time. And we don't just lodge your return. We look for every legitimate deduction and make sure your small business isn't paying more tax than it should.

Business Structuring

Sole trader, company, trust, or a combination? The right structure can save your small business thousands in tax every year. We review your situation and recommend the structure that protects your assets and minimises your tax, not just what's easiest to set up.

Payroll and Compliance

Wages, super, leave accruals, STP reporting. We take payroll off your plate so you're compliant and your team gets paid correctly, every time.

Business Setups

Starting a new business? We'll help you choose the right structure, register with the ATO, set up Xero, and get your foundations right from day one. The advice you get at the start saves you the most in the long run.

Succession and Exit Planning

Whether you're planning to sell, retire, or hand the business to the next generation, we help you plan the transition so nothing falls through the cracks.

Management Reporting

In order to make informed decisions, you need accurate and up-to-date information about your business. We become the CFO of your team and tailor management reports for your business. From cash flow statements to profit and loss reports, we give you the information you need to make informed decisions and grow your business.

FAQs

“We already have an accountant.”

Most of our clients came to us from another accountant. The question isn’t whether you have one, it’s whether they’re giving you proactive advice, or just lodging your tax return once a year. Book a free meeting and we’ll show you what you might be missing.

“Will you actually call me back?”

Yes. It’s the reason most clients switch to us. We’ve built our business on the thing other firms get wrong, being responsive. You’ll have a dedicated accountant who knows your business and picks up when you call.

“How much will it cost?”

We’re upfront about fees, no surprises. Most SME clients invest $2K–$10K per year depending on complexity. We scope every engagement individually and you’ll know the cost before we start.

“What if we’re too small?”

The earlier you get the right advice and structure, the more you save long-term. We work with startups and sole traders through to large construction businesses. Our pricing reflects where you are right now.

“Is switching accountants a hassle?”

We handle the transition. We’ll liaise with your previous accountant, collect your records, and get everything set up. Most clients are surprised how painless it is.
