What Does a Small Business Accountant Do?

Many Brisbane small business owners ask: do I really need an accountant? The short answer is yes, and here's why. A qualified small business accountant does much more than lodge your tax return once a year. Done well, accounting advice actively reduces your tax bill, protects your assets, and helps you make better business decisions throughout the year.

Here is what Y&S Accounting does for Brisbane small businesses year-round:

01Tax return lodgement: individuals, sole traders, partnerships, companies, and trusts. We maximise your deductions and ensure ATO compliance.
02BAS lodgement: monthly, quarterly, or annual Business Activity Statements prepared and lodged accurately and on time.
03Business structure advice: advising on the right structure (sole trader, company, or trust) to minimise tax and protect your personal assets.
04Bookkeeping & Xero: keeping your accounts accurate, up-to-date, and compliant. Xero setup, training, and monthly support.
05Tax planning: proactive strategies throughout the year to legally reduce your tax, not just at tax time.
06Business registration: ABN, GST, PAYG, ASIC company registration, trust deeds. Everything handled correctly from day one.
07Payroll & superannuation: Single Touch Payroll (STP), Superannuation Guarantee compliance (12% from 1 July 2025), and PAYG Withholding.
08Business advisory: cash flow planning, profit improvement, KPI tracking, and strategic guidance to help your business grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an accountant cost in Brisbane?

Y&S Accounting offers fixed-price packages so you always know the cost upfront. Individual tax returns start from $150. Small business packages, including BAS, bookkeeping, and annual tax return, are priced based on your business complexity. Book a $250 consultation and we'll provide an exact, written quote for your situation.

What is the difference between a tax agent and an accountant?

A registered tax agent is licensed by the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) to lodge tax returns and provide tax advice on behalf of clients. A CPA accountant is qualified through CPA Australia to provide broader accounting, financial, and business advisory services. Y&S Accounting is both a registered tax agent and a CPA practice, so we can handle your full range of tax and business accounting needs.

Do I need an accountant for my small business in Brisbane?

If your business earns income and has any ATO obligations (ABN, BAS, payroll, or annual tax return), a qualified accountant will almost always save you more than they cost. Beyond compliance, a good small business accountant helps you minimise tax legally, structure your business correctly, and make better financial decisions throughout the year.

Do you offer accounting services in Spanish or Portuguese?

Yes. Y&S Accounting is one of the very few Brisbane accounting firms to offer full accounting and tax services in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. We regularly assist Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking clients from Latin America, Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, including migrants, expats, and international entrepreneurs setting up businesses in Australia.

Can you help with business registration in Brisbane?

Yes. We handle the full business registration process: ABN, GST, business name registration, and ASIC company setup. We also provide expert advice on choosing the right business structure (sole trader, partnership, company, or trust) before you register, so you start with the right structure from day one. See our Business Registration services.

What accounting software do you use?

We are Xero Certified Advisors and Hubdoc Specialists. We primarily use Xero for bookkeeping and accounting, which integrates with your bank feeds, invoicing, and payroll. We provide full Xero setup, training, and ongoing health checks to make sure your books are always accurate and up to date.

Where is Y&S Accounting located?

Y&S Accounting is based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. We serve clients across Greater Brisbane, including Southside, Northside, the CBD, and surrounding suburbs. We also serve clients remotely across Queensland and Australia via video call and cloud-based accounting tools.
