Hiring the right accounting firm isn’t just a compliance task—it’s a strategic decision that can shape your Brisbane business’s success.
At WOW! Advisors, we believe that Annual Accounting Services in Brisbane should do more than tick ATO boxes. Your accountant should help you stay compliant, manage cash flow, reduce risk, and make better business decisions.
Before you choose a firm, here are five important questions to ask—and why they matter.
1. What Services Are Included in Your Annual Accounting Packages?
Not all accounting packages are the same. Some only cover tax returns, while others include a broader range of support like:
- Profit and loss statements
- Balance sheets and cash flow reports
- BAS and GST lodgements
- Payroll tax and superannuation compliance
- Business tax returns (companies, partnerships, trusts)
At WOW! Advisors, our Annual Accounting Services in Brisbane go beyond the basics. We manage everything from year-end financial statements to state-specific rules like Queensland payroll tax thresholds.
2. Do You Have Experience With Businesses Like Mine?
Every industry has unique tax obligations, reporting needs, and challenges.
We’ve worked with Brisbane businesses across retail, consulting, trades, and professional services—and tailor our accounting approach to your sector and business stage.
Because we’re based in Brisbane, we’re also across local tax considerations like:
- Payroll tax thresholds in Queensland
- Superannuation reporting timelines
- State-specific compliance obligations
Our experience helps you avoid mistakes, reduce risk, and find savings others might miss.
3. How Is Your Pricing Structured?
When comparing Brisbane accounting firms, it’s essential to understand pricing models:
- Do they offer fixed-fee packages or charge by the hour?
- What’s included in the price?
- Are there any additional costs?
At WOW! Advisors, we offer transparent pricing. Most of our clients prefer fixed-fee annual packages—with no surprise bills. We include:
- Xero setup and integration
- Unlimited client support
- Regular reporting and planning meetings
While price matters, we encourage clients to think in terms of value. A proactive accountant often saves you more through tax planning and better financial decisions than what you pay in fees.
4. Who Will Be My Point of Contact?
One of the most common complaints we hear from clients who switch to us is “I never knew who to talk to.”
That’s why we assign a dedicated accountant to every Brisbane business we work with. You’ll always speak to someone who knows your file, your goals, and your industry.
We also offer:
- Flexible Zoom or in-person meetings
- Secure client portals for sharing documents
- Cloud-based tools like Xero and QuickBooks for real-time collaboration
You deserve consistent, personal service—not to be passed around a call centre.
5. Are You Qualified to Offer Accounting Services in Brisbane?
Before hiring any firm, check their credentials. You want more than someone who “does tax”—you want a properly qualified, ethical, insured professional.
At WOW! Advisors:
- Our accountants are members of CPA Australia and Chartered Accountants ANZ
- We are registered tax agents with the Tax Practitioners Board
- We maintain full professional indemnity insurance
- We follow ethical codes and stay updated on ATO policies
We’re also happy to connect new clients with existing ones (with permission) so you can hear how our services work in real life.
