All Topics / Legal & Accounting / Need new accountant- what to look for!??
I need a new tax agent and accountant as mine is too slow, not property focussed, too slow, and did I mention too slow.
I have just managed to get last years tax return (2003-4) done and we are struggling with this years now.
He has given resonable advice, and is cheap enough, so now my concern is – how much trouble and how much money to change and more importantly – how do I pick a decent one. I do not want someone who charges for every phone call.
But I am certainly happy to pay top value for top value work.
Any accountants on this forum who can help me????
Or anyone with experience of changing accountants.PS – I have a company structure and have been doing my own individual returns myself.
Any advice/help/estimates….pleeeeeeseGiddo

Lots of good accountants around. You might need to tell people where you are to narrow it down.
It’s stating the obvious, but you need an accountant interested in what you’re into – so if you’re a property investor you need one with experience in property.
I also like one who can explain things very simply without needing to use too much jargon.Tax Depreciation Schedules

http://www.depreciator.com.auThanksScott,
I am in Toowoomba Qld.
I was thinking that there may a register or list of property focussed accountants somewhere.
Maybe not.Giddo

Hi Giddo,
We’re affiliated with the Count Wealth group – 700 or so accounting/planning practices across the country. We do Tax Depreciation Schedules for their clients (accountants like our schedules).
There are a few Count Members in Toowoomba. I don’t know these ones personally, but I do find members of this group tend to be reasonably switched-on. They have access to training and Count BDMs who keep them up to date. They may be a good place to start your search. You’d still need to make sure they are property savvy. Some of these firms will have a planning bias, some an accounting bias. Obviously, you’re looking for the latter, though a planner with an affinity for property might be a useful find too.Moore Lewis & Partners Pty Ltd
