How It Works....

A structured process designed to deliver an accounting, tax & advice function that delivers results and drives improvement because it has been built specifically for your industry

Discovery

A complimentary session so we can understand the human/s behind the business, the business model, strategy & the commercial objectives the business needs to deliver to give you a life of financial stability & freedom, defined by choice & delivered with time & money.

Diagnostic

We undertake a guided diagnostic on your business and overlay it with our industry model blueprint to identify weakness & inefficiency in the business model. This ultimately sets the agenda for what needs to be done to improve the results you seek from the business.

Design

We design the financial management framework & process to integrate with how the business should operate to deliver efficient, reliable reporting & stronger financial control, with integrity. This lays the foundations necessary to support a business that grows and moves with agility and speed.

Function & Delivery

We address the critical functions for delivery of the system to ensure it's embedded in the business & delivering financial information that is accurate, timely & suitable.

Profit Profit Profit

We establish commercial parameters necessary to achieve the outcomes intended. Oh and yes, we do hold you accountable to them.

Financial Transparency

A structured approach established to maintain visibility over the financial performance of the business to dictate decisions & action. This includes ongoing advisory support.

Tax & Compliance

We manage the ongoing accounting, taxation & regulatory compliance matters of the business and all associated entities within a group. This includes any state licensing & reporting obligations and upgrades, for example the QBCC or HBCF.

Tax Strategy

Strategy, Control & Ongoing Implementation

We maintain long term objectives and their connection to day to day operational decision making through ongoing advisory support programs, ensuring you build that financial legacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here's what we usually get asked

Are you a compliance accountant or a business advisor?

We provide both. Compliance is essential, but our work extends into financial management, reporting, tax planning, strategic advisory and business performance. 

Do you only work with trade, field service and construction businesses?

Landmark Accountants specialises in accounting and business advisory for trade, field service and construction businesses.  We do selectively work with businesses outside this industry however intake is strictly limited.

What type of business is Landmark Accountants best suited to?

We are best suited to trade and construction businesses that are wanting to grow & scale, becoming more complex, looking to improve profit, cash flow, reporting and control.  This is generally businesses doing > $2M in annual revenue.  There are exceptions with businesses and their forecast growth, so the current revenue tier should be taken as a general guide only.

What happens in the Discovery Session?

This is a complimentary session so we can understand the human/s behind the business, the business model, strategy & the commercial objectives the business needs to deliver to give you a life of financial stability & freedom, defined by choice & delivered with time & money.

Can you help if our numbers or reports are not reliable?

Yes. Data integrity and reporting structure are central to the work we do. Before the numbers can guide decisions, they need to be accurate, organised and aligned with the business.

Do you replace our current accountant?

Yes.  Landmark Accountants takes over the full accounting and advisory function.

Do you replace our bookkeeper?

If they are not cutting the mustard and that results in a foundational flaw in your process & compromises your business, then we will work with the bookkeeper in a coaching and advisory capacity to get them to a level the business needs from the bookkeeping function.

If they do not attain the standard we deem acceptable at that point, then we will explore what are the most appropriate options for the business at that point.   If that means taking over the day to day bookkeeping, then we have the resource to do this.

In all engagements, we assume a regular supervisory role over the bookkeeping function to ensure integrity of data and timeliness in the delivery of reporting for the business.

What if we have a Business Coach?

Epic, keep them. We work in parallel with a lot of coaches in the trade & construction space and we only complement each other's work which accelerates the business.

Can you recommend a Job Management System for us?

Yes, we can.  The recommendation depends on the stage or lifecycle of your business and the immediate priorities you have, including what the business will look like 3 years from now.

Are you partners with any Job Management System providers?

Yes, we are. We receive no financial benefit from these providers, so our recommendations remain independent and merit-based.

Can you do what is necessary for a QBCC License upgrade or HBCF eligibility reviews or overall eligibility limits?

Yes, we do these all day long. We do not take the numbers at face value. Instead of sending a letter saying you have failed to meet the minimum financial requirements, we work with you to identify eligible assets others may overlook due to limited industry understanding.

Are you Tax Agents?

Yes we sure are.  We are a Registered Tax Agent with the Tax Practitioners Board.  Our Tax Agent Number is 25901749.

Do you do Business Activity Statements & manage all other ATO matters?

Yes, absolutely.  BAS and ATO management is all standard in what we do, however we also have clients who manage the lodgement side of BAS's themselves if they choose.

Do you use Technology to assist with our financial management systems?

Yes. We are a technology-forward business that uses best-of-breed tools to support stronger financial management.

Do you support businesses across Australia or only locally?

Yes, we support clients across Australia and abroad. As a technology-forward, fully remote business headquartered in Southport, Queensland, we can deliver our services regardless of location.

How do you charge for your services?

We work on a fixed fee basis and provide a detailed scope of works included in the proposed engagement.  This is provided prior to the commencement of works for agreement.  This means, you have a chance to decide on whether you progress before it costs you anything. 

Do you charge for every phone call?

God, no.  That is such an old and outdated thing in our game and we can’t stand that way of operating.  We are fixed fee only for our engagements which includes all the contact you need.
