MMac Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Good evening I am looking for an accountant to complete my fairly simple family tax return. We do Smart Salary (salary sacrifice), receive a small amount from Centrelink and I am paid a pension in the UK which is staying there for now (I have declared it here). We live a bit rurally and so I need someone who operates by email and phone. I feel like I've been searching for so long - any recommendations very welcome!

MMac Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm in NSW - sorry I didn't realise that would make a difference. I had a local tax accountant do our return last year (our first after arriving) but to be honest I don't think she got it right and I need to feel confident that we are doing everything correctly. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toOZ2012 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Simple tax affairs are best done by yourself. The new mytax portal has gotten heaps easier compared to the archaic etax program. All the cheap tax agents are rarely any good but probably doesn't matter for the things you mentioned as there is very little to get wrong for straightforward tax matters. If you, nevertheless, want to a good accountant I highly recommend Paul from http://www.pricefinancial.com.au/ - He is not your average tax-agent in the mall and costs a fair bit but is worth every penny. Have a chat with him and see if meets your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMac Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Thank you for the recommendation - I really do need assistance, although I am fairly savvy with financial affairs I need guiding through this to start with. I'm too sleep deprived and buried under children to think clearly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 @Alan Collett - he posts on here and is ideal because he specialises in cross UK/Australia tax matters. Everything was done by email so your location wouldn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMac Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Thank you also Lady Rainicorn - the UK specialisation would certainly be useful, I'll try him too. Much obliged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyjim Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hi Lady Rainicorn I'm trying to send you a private PM from a post a few years back but it won't let me - would you mind sending me a message so i can get in touch. I just have a question for you but nothing to do with this thread. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
