We get how tradies actually work

Most tradies overpay tax. Not because they're doing anything wrong - but because their accountant doesn't understand tools, utes, site travel, allowances and the way trade income actually flows. Generic accounting treats you like a desk worker. We don't.

From your first ute purchase to your first PAYG instalment, the right structure, the right deductions and the right software stack can save you thousands a year. We set it up once, then run it for you on a fixed monthly fee.

We also get the practical stuff - quoting, invoicing on the run, getting paid faster, and keeping the ATO off your back. No jargon, no judgement, just clear numbers and straight answers.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your profit, whether a spouse can share income, how much profit you leave in the business, your job risk and your plans. As a rough guide, it is worth modelling once profit is consistently above about $120,000 or you carry meaningful job risk. We'll model sole trader, company and trust side by side on your actual numbers before you switch. See the real 2026–27 numbers in our sole trader vs Pty Ltd guide for Perth tradies.
