Compare BAS and ongoing accounting support ↗A few useful answers.
Will I pay the starting price?
If your work fits the inclusion shown and the records are ready, the starting fee applies. If it needs more work, we explain why and agree the total before starting. Your quote identifies the entity, period, deliverable, professional fee, GST and any government or third-party charges.
Can I call with questions?
Yes. Routine phone and email questions about the agreed job are included. If a question leads to substantial additional work, we explain the scope and price first. You can call during business hours or arrange a callback.
Are government charges included in setup prices?
The registration and setup prices above are professional fees. ASIC registration fees, stamp duty and other government charges are extra unless your written quote expressly includes them. We identify those costs before you engage. Stamping coordination is our administrative work; it is different from the duty paid to the government.
Is an SMSF audit included?
No. The annual fee covers the accounts, return and routine audit coordination. The independent auditor’s fee and any actuarial certificate are separate. We agree the scope for pensions, property or other complex investments before work begins.
Do I have to move all my accounting to Target?
No. We can help with a defined job and coordinate the relevant records. Ongoing accounting, regular bookkeeping and quarterly check-ins are available through our monthly plans.
