Find a professional accountant in Elsternwick

Sole Trader / ABN / Business Name Advice. (Please ignore the $10 budget I set). I'm looking for an accountant to provide some advice and assistance with setting up a small consulting business for me. It will be a small, part-time side business alongside my full-time employment. At this stage, I expect to spend approximately 10–20 hours per week maximum on this side gig, depending on client work. I will be the only person running the business and don't currently intend to bring in any business partners or make this my primary/full-time business. I already have an ABN registered under my name as a sole trader. My preference is to keep things relatively simple and continue operating as a sole trader, rather than establishing a Pty Ltd company at this stage. I would like professional advice and assistance with: * Registering/operating under the business name not my name and link it correctly to my existing ABN. I want to be a little anonymous you know. I want things to be billed or invoices to be sent under my business name not my name. * Confirming whether my existing sole trader structure is appropriate for a part-time consulting business alongside full-time employment * Explain to me about the ABN, ASIC and tax setup process if I have to go through one. * Understanding how income from the business will work alongside my employment income for tax purposes * Whether/when I would need to register for GST * Any important tax, record-keeping, deductions or other obligations I should be aware of * At what point, if the business grows in the future, it may make sense to consider moving from a sole trader to a company structure if let's say I need to hire one or two more people to support me? I'm looking for an accountant who can review my circumstances, advise me on the best setup and assist with any registrations or changes that are required. Please let me know your quote/fee for the consultation and any setup assistance required. Thank you!

Xero assistance for payslips

I need to lodge tax returns from 2011-2012 until present. Only claiming simple tax return so should be simple to complete.

A number of years of tax returns that I need lodged. I thought with PAYG these were automatically lodged. Stupid me! Not looking to claim anything so they would be very straight forward. Could do myself but seeing that there are a number of years I thought it best to see someone who knew what they're doing.
