Recently, we’ve had 3 new clients come to us that all share a common problem.
They have been fined and penalised by the ATO for late lodgement of BAS returns, due to their previous accountant not completing and lodging their BAS on time. (Crazy we know!)
Learning of our client’s frustrations with their previous accountants, we feel obliged to answer the question; ‘What makes a great accountant?’
We believe that it all comes down to the basics of providing a quality service, whether you’re an accountant, a removalist or a hairdresser, we believe you are obliged as a business owner to deliver what you promise.
In this case, if you offer BAS lodgements, they should certainly be lodged accurately and on time. If it’s anyone’s job to remember the BAS lodgement due date, it should be an accountant right!?
In our opinion. There is a simple formula to what makes a great accountant, or any business owner at that…
At Empire Accountants, we genuinely care about our clients and their businesses. We understand that as business owners managing your finance, marketing, sales and staff is time-consuming and hard work! This is why you should receive a complete service from your accountant, one that ensures that managing your tax planning, end of year compliance and business growth goals are met on time and budget.

If you’re a business owner, chances are you’ve felt it. You’re busy. You’re doing the work. You’re bringing in revenue. And yet… cash flow
feels tight, decisions feel heavy, and it’s hard to tell whether you’re actually moving forward. Rather than taking the next step you’re
overthinking everything.
So if you’re feeling stretched, uncertain or stuck in reactive mode - you’re not behind. You’re normal. But you can fix it. That’s
exactly why we created Empire Launchpad: a structured, numbers-led planning session that helps business owners step back,
regain clarity, and build a practical plan that supports both profitability, life and long term planning for your business.
We sat down with Darius Hii, Director of Chat Legal, to learn more about his journey, the work he does, and how he’s helping clients take a proactive approach to legal and tax planning.
