Early Career
Get Tax Sorted
Overview
Every big business starts somewhere. Let's get yours off to a good start.
An idea scribbled in a notebook. Your first customer. A business name you've been sitting on for months. Or that moment you finally decide to go all in.
Starting a business is exciting. It's also full of decisions you may have never had to make before.
Should you register as a sole trader or company? What taxes do you need to pay? How much should you set aside? And when can you afford to hire someone?
At Bon Conseil, we help new business owners get the financial side right from the beginning. From choosing a business structure to setting up your accounting, managing cash flow and planning for growth, we'll help you understand what needs doing and why.
Got something on your mind? We're all ears.
Tax questions. Business plans. Family finances. Investment ideas. Or that one thing you've been meaning to sort out for months.
You don't need to have it all figured out before getting in touch. That's what we're here for.

How We Can Help
Your first year in business comes with plenty of firsts. Your first invoice, first tax bill, first big expense and maybe even your first employee.
And while you're busy finding customers, developing your product or delivering your service, the financial side can quickly become overwhelming.
We help you put the right systems and processes in place early, so you have a clearer picture of what you're earning, what you're spending and what your business needs to keep moving.

The structure you choose affects how your business is taxed, what you need to report and the responsibilities you take on. We'll explain your options in plain English and help you choose a structure that suits your circumstances, business model and future plans.
✔ Structuring advice
✔ Tax & compliance implications of each structure

✔ Understanding operating costs and profit margins
✔ Planning for tax and other financial commitments

Payroll & Employees
Hiring your first employee is a big milestone. It also brings new responsibilities around payroll, superannuation, withholding and reporting. We'll help you set up your payroll systems and understand your employer obligations, so you're better prepared when your team starts to grow.
