Astrolabe Accountancy

Astrolabe Accountancy Astrolabe Accountancy specialises in small business tax and accounting services. We also handle tax Our Values
At Astrolabe we believe in doing things right.

Gregory Beattie started Astrolabe Accountancy in 2005 and has been working in Richmond as a tax agent and accountant since 2000. Astrolabe Accountancy prepares income tax returns for individuals and businesses in Richmond and the Hawkesbury area, as well as BAS statements and the whole range of tax forms. We enjoy our work and especially helping the owners of small businesses. Small businesses are

the foundation of the Australian economy, but they face a daunting array of regulatory requirements. We help business owners concentrate on their core business activities by taking away the headache of paperwork and compliance as far as possible. Business managers need information in a form that they can use, and they need it soon. The financial statements I prepare are provided in a straightforward, easy-to-understand format and are customised to meet your needs. We provide management accounts quarterly and monthly if you need them. We work with you to prepare a business plan, budgets and cash flow forecasts. These are invaluable to the business manager, and are very helpful when applying for bank finance. We make sure that all your taxable income is declared and all legal tax deductions are claimed. We will amend a tax return as many times as is necessary to ensure it is right. We believe in keeping things simple and straightforward. We make sure that you understand what you are reading and signing and why. We prefer plain English to accounting jargon! We believe in acting in our clients’ best interests. We are not interested in setting you up with a complicated and expensive structure unless it is really to your advantage. Even then we make sure that you fully understand and are comfortable with the recommended course of action. We believe in maximising your after-tax income. There is no point in paying less tax if the cost to you is greater than the tax saved! You can rely on us to advise you wisely. We believe in keeping up to date with developments. The government is constantly changing the rules, for income tax, GST and business. The ATO issues new rulings and determinations. Court judgements set new precedents. We invest a lot of time and effort, not only in keeping ourselves informed about the changes, but in notifying our clients too.
