Business Structures for Real Estate & Conveyancing Professionals
Choosing the right business structure is critical in the property industry. We provide expert advice on:
- Sole trader, partnership, company, and trust structures

Australian tax laws are complex, and restructuring later can trigger costly capital gains tax events. We ensure your structure is appropriate from the outset, while remaining flexible for future growth.

Effective financial systems are the foundation of a successful real estate or conveyancing business.
We assist with:
- Selection and setup of appropriate accounting software
