frequently asked questions
If you're a straightforward employee with few work-related expenses and no asset sales, the ATO's e-tax system is typically sufficient for filing your returns. In this case, paying for an accountant may not add much value. However, if your financial situation involves multiple income streams, significant investments, or complex deductions, professional guidance can help ensure accuracy, compliance, and potentially even cost savings.
Accountant fees in Australia vary depending on your needs. At DKM, for example, we charge $198 (GST included) for a standard tax return. This fee covers all deduction types from D1 to D10 and comes with a yearly updated deductions checklist, allowing you to compare your deductions with industry benchmarks. If your situation requires additional schedules, such as those for business income or capital gains—extra fees will apply.
A bookkeeper manages the daily recording of your financial transactions, tracking sales, expenses, and reconciling bank statements. Their work ensures that your financial records remain accurate and up-to-date. An accountant uses this data to prepare reports, handle tax returns, and offer strategic advice to help you make informed decisions. In essence, bookkeepers maintain the details, while accountants interpret these details to guide your business planning.
