Pillar 3 · Accounting, tax & structuring

Accounting, tax & structuring for licensed firms

Revenue recognition for commissions, trail, AUM and ongoing fees; entity and group structuring; Div 7A, R&D and family-office consolidation.

The problem we solve

Licensed firms earn in ways generic accountants get wrong — upfront and trail commissions, asset-based and ongoing advice fees, performance fees, referral splits. Get the revenue recognition, the group structure or the Div 7A position wrong and you are either overpaying tax or building a problem for the next audit.

What’s included

What you walk away with

The way your firm earns is recognised correctly, structured deliberately and taxed no harder than it has to be — with reporting a principal can actually read.

How we work / our basis

Accounting, tax and structuring advice provided by a CPA public practice and registered tax agent, grounded in the applicable accounting standards and tax law. Advice is specific to circumstances we have reviewed; it is not a product recommendation.
