Nelay Accountants

13/01/2026

G’day everyone, we’re back! We hope you all had a refreshing break.

In 2025, our word-of-mouth growth was huge, but we’ve decided to engage a lot more on social media moving forward.

Running a small business is tough. Over the past year, we’ve helped many business owners get clarity by building personalised action plans — not just for tax, but for the business as a whole.

Quoting, marketing, taxes, systems, staff… the list never ends. Knowing what actually deserves your attention is often the hardest part. We help you focus on the right things to get real results.

We’re super excited for 2026 — watch this space ☺️

💡 Thinking about starting a business?

We get it. We did the same thing 2 years ago when we started Nelay Accountants (time flies!). No safety net — just backing ourselves and getting stuck in.

Starting is scary: ABN, bank accounts, tax, figuring out if you should be a sole trader, company, or trust. Everyone’s got an opinion, but at the end of the day you just want to know: what’s the right move for me?

That’s where we come in. We’ve built our own business from scratch AND we set them up for clients every week.

If you’re ready to stop talking about “one day” and actually get moving — let’s chat.

👉 We’ll keep it simple, get it done properly, and make sure you don’t shoot yourself in the foot later.

Sebastian here — Owner & Director of Nelay Accountants (short for Never Delay 🤟).

If you’re looking for a local accountant in Townsville, the best way to get in touch is to book a quick call with me here:

I'll personally give you a buzz to get to know your situation.

We’re currently taking on new clients and typically work with:

📈 Businesses doing up to $5M in sales

We use a specialist accountant-only pricing platform so you always know where you stand — no surprises.

We’ve been around for 2 years now, growing mostly through word of mouth. I worked in larger firms for 10+ years before launching Nelay, and we’ve invested heavily in tech to make things as smooth and modern as possible.

Who's excited for tax season? We sure are!

Handy tip: When you are a registered client with us, we can access your tax information on the Tax Office portal. How cool is that!

It usually takes between 2-3 weeks after the start of the new tax year, and we can get information such as your employment income, dividends, bank interest, amongst other things. There's also information for when you've sold your crypto, sold investment properties, or even contributed to your super.

Feel free to send an e-mail to our Director Sebastian Nicholas on [email protected]. He's very responsive and would love to chat.

We're also well aware a lot of people and businesses are doing it very tough, especially in Far North Queensland, you will always be a priority for us. A huge thank you to those who have been understanding of this, your patience has helped us rescue multiple struggling businesses.
