Is Your Tax Strategy
Holding You Back?

If your tax and financial situation isn’t where you want it to be, then it may be time to get a second opinion on your strategy.

Here's what we're increasingly seeing from business owners in the industry:

  • Stressed about growing ATO debt with no clear plan to fix it
  • Unsure what taxes are due and how much to expect to pay
  • Frustrated your accountant won’t return calls or email back
  • Feeling anxious over threatening ATO calls and letters
  • Getting caught off-guard by unexpected tax bills
  • Concerned that you’re paying too much in taxes
  • Hit with interest and fines from overdue lodgements
  • Frustrated by empty promises and long delays
  • Little support and advice on investments and tax strategy

If any of this sounds familiar, then chances are…

YOUR ACCOUNTANT
ISN’T GIVING YOU THE LEVEL
OF SERVICE YOU NEED

Many accounting firms are spread far too thin across hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of clients.

Leaving them unable to deliver the level of personalised service that you need as a business owner to successfully navigate our country’s complex tax system.

(why you might only hear from them once or twice a year)

But if you’re serious about getting on top of your ATO obligations, staying compliant, and legally minimising your taxes…

Then this approach just won’t cut it.

Especially with Australia’s changing business and economic landscape in 2024/25:

  • Tax Act has grown from 3,000 pages (in the 90’s) to 14,000+
  • The ATO is hunting $34B owed by small business owners
  • Director Penalty Notices are up 50% from 2023
  • 2024 saw the highest insolvency rates on record

Without a proactive accountant, it’s like tip toeing blindfolded through a minefield.

Even for the most seasoned business operator.

So what do you do?

Team up with a

PROACTIVE ACCOUNTANT

Imagine…

How much better off would you be if your accountant:

  • Was accessible year-round as much you need them?
  • Actually returned your calls and emails within 24 hours?
  • Never left you in limbo waiting for tax support or guidance?
  • Specialised working exclusively with businesses like yours?
  • Developed a clear plan to help you get on top of ATO debt?
  • Was clear on taxes due and how much to expect to pay?
  • Uncovered major tax savings that everyone else missed?
  • Always handled the ATO on your behalf?
  • Assisted with any business or investment opportunities?
  • Never missed lodgement dates?
  • Claimed all that could be legally claimed?
  • Was someone you actually liked talking to?
  • Used the latest tech to streamline their service for you?

We’re only scratching the surface here…

Truth is, over 90% of the time we look at new client’s books we find costly mistakes, missed opportunities, and downright lazy 'vanilla' accounting.

Our advice?

"FROM 3 builders last year to 15 Brand new builders THIS YEAR"

“Troy and the team at Trade Business Accountants have been a huge addition for us this year, they’ve quickly become an invaluable part of our team, always happy to answer questions and brainstorm ideas. The insight we’ve gained into the numbers of our business since starting with TBA is unreal. To be able to pinpoint exactly where you are vs. where you want to be and map out the path clearly with their systems and knowledge has given us clarity and motivation for the future.
We've gone from 3 builders last year to 15 brand new builders in 8 months. Absolutely stoked, and can't wait to see where we are next year. Can’t thank them enough nor wait to see what the future brings with these legends in our corner!”

"I guarantee they’ll make you money"

“For the first time since starting my business I’m actually busy making money instead of chasing work and earning nothing. Everything taught be TBA makes absolute sense. I seriously can’t rate these guys highly enough! If their marketing brought you here then I guarantee they'll make you money!”

Matthew Dalton

"If you’re looking for business coaches your search is over"

“The boys at TBA are next level! It’s hard to know where to start!! They are on the ball all the time and when I need them for something they are on it STRAIGHT AWAY! They go above and beyond to help and get things sorted. The impact they have had so far in my business and personal life has been phenomenal! And above all they PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH! If you’re looking for business coaches your search is over! They’re like my secret weapon no one knows about.”

"Our net profit margin has gone from in the red to 15%"

“I’d worked with different business coaches before TBA, but I just wasn’t getting the results that I wanted.

TBA was the complete opposite. They actually followed through on what they spoke about on our first phone call. I wasn’t in a great position when I first signed up, but within the first month of working with them, I’d pretty much paid for TBA for the next 12 months.

In 18 months we’ve tripled our revenue and team size, our net profit margin has gone from in the red to +15%, our cash flow has improved fourfold and our bank account has never looked better. We’re now comfortably paying off all our debts, we can pay our boys, and the ATO bills are getting paid on time. The cash is there.

I couldn’t be happier with TBA. The investment has definitely been worth it. They’ve completely turned our business around. We’re profitable and cash positive now. We’ve gone from having no money in the bank after the month, to having enough cash reserves that we don’t have to work for a couple of months and be fine.

The financial relief has been the biggest win of all. TBA have brought a lot of ease and taken a lot of pressure and stress off me financially. I have the peace of mind that everything’s going to be okay. And getting time to spend with the family has been fantastic. This journey has been unreal for me, my family, the business.

I'm excited for the future growth with TBA by our side. The next 6 to 12 months are going to be exciting."

James Deakin

"I have seen immediate results"

“Extremely happy with the services provided by TBA! I was quite oblivious to a lot of unrecognised costs and factors that go into pricing jobs, but with Troy's expertise, it has given me a solid understanding of where I stand, and given me a direction to aim at moving forward. I have seen immediate results thanks to TBA. Highly recommend.”

"allowed me to take my business to the next level"

“I cannot speak highly enough of Warren and the TBA team. The past 8 months working with TBA has lead to many milestones for my business. Warrens expertise and knowledge is second to none. He has allowed me to take my business to the next level, and to not be afraid of setting my sights high. Give them a call!”

"It’s amazing to enjoy holidays with the family while the business still runs itself"

“Since working with Trade Business Accountants it's just ridiculous the amount of time they’ve given me. I don’t think I’d have the relationship I do now with the missus and the kids. It’s amazing to enjoy holidays with the family while the business still runs itself.

The team's grown dramatically. Every year we've picked up another staff member or two, or another truck. We’ve also built a management team. We’ve got a site manager, operations manager, and administration manager. It's made my life so much better. Sales and profit have both gone up and our jobs have just gotten bigger and bigger. By bringing in systems, structures, and teaching me how to run the business, everything’s grown.

A good accountant and business coach can change your life. We’ve set up holding companies, family trusts, self-managed super funds, their accounting knowledge is through the roof. Working 1:1 with Bayley, I absolutely love it. I could have a good week or a bad week, but a one-hour session with him and I leave that meeting ready to take on the world. He’s an inspiring man, knows the business so well, and it’s great having someone looking at it from a bird’s eye view. With TBA on board it’s been four years of smooth sailing.

I would 100% recommend working with Trade Business Accountants. Get their accountants on board, use them as a business coach, get them all in as a one-stop shop and it will 100% change the game. You’ll level up your business, level up yourself, and you’ll never look back.”

“TBA are both knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It’s totally unique and unlike other interactions I have had with coaches.

The coaching sessions with Troy and Bayley are thorough, comprehensive, detailed and have already proven to make a profound impact on our bottom-line profit and most importantly, peace of mind and confidence in moving forward. 

Between the effort to go the extra mile and the breadth of experience and practical methods, my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. TBA help ease the burden and anxiety of business ownership!”

"Without a doubt recommend the TBA team…"

“Before teaming up with the team at TBA I didn't have any clarity in my business, I lacked innovation in marketing, Troy and Bayley worked with me to understand my business needs and optimise it.

I'm definitely more knowledgeable and confident about building a strong business and I can without a doubt recommend the TBA team to help out any trade business.”

Anthony Lakiss

"I’ve gone from 5% average net profit margin to now 30%..."

“No coach has gone as deep into every detail of my business as TBA. The return on investment has far outweighed any costs and within one session you will be reassured that these guys know their stuff.

Of all the coaching I’ve had in the past ten years, this has been the best. After 10 months of working with TBA I’ve gone from 5% average net profit margin when I joined to now an average net profit margin of 30%. We’ve been able to improve every aspect of the business.”

"In 5 weeks they turned my business around"

“Trade Business Accountants has been the best coaching experience we’ve had so far.

In 5 weeks, they turned my business around. Now we know our numbers, we’ve fixed our pricing issue, and we are consistently making great profit month on month.

We’re now preparing to expand the team as we’re ready to take on more opportunity. Troy and the team have the ability to turn unprofitable businesses into healthy, profitable businesses. They don’t just advise you on textbook theory, they teach you HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS.

We’re grateful they’ve got our back and couldn’t recommend them more to other trade business owners."
