What We Help Brisbane Small Businesses With

Business Advisory and Growth Planning

We work with small business owners throughout the year to develop practical plans that drive revenue, improve profitability, and support long-term growth. This includes identifying opportunities, managing financial risk, and creating clear step-by-step plans with measurable outcomes, not just a report at year end.

Business Structure Advice

Choosing the right structure: sole trader, partnership, company, or trust, affects your tax obligations, asset protection, and growth potential. We assess your current setup and provide clear recommendations to ensure your structure supports your goals as the business evolves.

Superannuation and SMSF

We ensure your business meets its superannuation guarantee obligations for employees, including timely payments and correct reporting. For business owners considering greater control over their retirement savings, we also advise on whether establishing a self-managed super fund suits your financial goals and guide you through the compliance requirements.

Industry Specialist Accounting

We tailor our services to the specific financial and regulatory requirements of your industry. We provide specialist accounting for allied health and NDIS providers, wholesale and manufacturing businesses, and professional service firms across Brisbane.

Financial Planning and Cash Flow Management

We help you develop comprehensive financial plans covering budgeting, cash flow forecasting, and long-term financial projections. Understanding your cash flow cycle, including GST and BAS reporting timing, seasonal patterns, and payment terms, gives you a clearer picture of where your business stands and what decisions to make next.

Tax Preparation and Business Tax Planning

We handle all aspects of tax preparation for small businesses including financial statements, income tax returns, BAS lodgements, capital gains tax, and PAYG obligations. Beyond compliance, we proactively identify eligible deductions and tax planning opportunities to ensure your business pays only what is required under ATO requirements.

FAQs From Brisbane Small Business Owners

What does a small business accountant do?

A small business accountant manages your tax returns, BAS lodgements, and compliance obligations while also helping you understand your numbers and make better financial decisions. At Empire, we go further, providing cash flow planning, tax strategy, and quarterly advisory support as part of our small business packages.

How much does a small business accountant cost in Brisbane?

We provide fixed monthly fee packages so there are no surprises. The cost depends on the size and complexity of your business and which package suits your needs. We offer a complimentary initial consultation to assess your situation and provide a clear upfront quote.

When should a small business get an accountant?

Ideally from day one, getting your structure right from the start saves significant cost and complexity later. That said, if you're already operating and feel like you're not getting enough from your current accountant, it's never too late to make a change.

What is included in your small business accounting packages?

Our packages range from essential compliance (BAS, tax returns, ASIC administration) through to full-service support including bookkeeping, quarterly advisory meetings, tax planning, budgeting, and KPI development. All packages include fixed monthly fees and year-end review meetings.

Do you work with Brisbane small businesses across all industries?

Yes. While we work with businesses of all types, we also provide specialist accounting for allied health and NDIS providers, wholesale and manufacturing businesses, and professional service firms across Brisbane.
