Honest answer: in most cases, yes. Not because of any secret trick, but because most people miss deductions they are legally entitled to claim.
Work from home expenses. Car travel between job sites. Tools, uniforms, union fees, self education. If you own an investment property, things like depreciation and loan interest add up quickly. Miss a few of these and your refund shrinks by hundreds of dollars, sometimes more.
When you sit down with us, we go through your year properly. We ask about your job, your side income, your property, and the receipts sitting in your glovebox. Then we claim everything the ATO allows and nothing it does not, so your refund is as big as it can legally be and you never have to worry about a review.
You earn the money. Our job is making sure you keep the right amount of it.
Whatever your tax situation looks like, we handle it end to end. Here is what Wollert locals come to us for most:
Fast, accurate returns for employees, families and retirees, with every eligible deduction claimed before we lodge.
Rental income, depreciation schedules, negative gearing and capital gains, explained in plain English so you know exactly where you stand.
Business income, expenses, BAS and GST for tradies, contractors, rideshare and delivery drivers working in and around Wollert.
Annual company tax returns prepared and lodged correctly, with advice on structure and tax planning for the year ahead.
Behind by a year or five? No judgement. We bring your lodgements up to date and negotiate with the ATO if penalties are involved.
Payment plans, audits, reviews and letters that make no sense. As registered tax agents we deal with the ATO on your behalf.
No mystery, no waiting around wondering what happens next. Here is the whole process:
1
Book online in a few minutes or give us a call. Meet us in person at our office near Wollert, or do the whole thing by phone or video if that is easier. Bring your income statement, receipts and bank interest details, or upload them securely before your appointment. Missing something? We will tell you exactly what to chase up.
2
Your accountant reviews your income and walks through your deductions question by question. Most appointments take under an hour. Before anything is lodged, we explain your return line by line and tell you your refund or bill upfront. Nothing goes to the ATO until you have approved it.
3
We lodge your return electronically with the ATO and send you a copy for your records. Most refunds land in your account within two weeks. If the ATO has questions or needs more information, we handle it for you, so the process never becomes your problem.
Anyone can plug numbers into an app. Trusting someone with your tax file is different, and we take that seriously.

Our office is at 136 Gateway Boulevard in Epping, less than ten minutes from Wollert with easy parking at the door. Plenty of our Wollert clients drop in on the way to the shops or after work.
Prefer not to travel at all? No problem. Book a phone or video appointment and we will sort your entire return without you leaving home. Either way, booking only takes a few minutes.
Bring your photo ID, your income statement or payment summaries, receipts for work related expenses, private health insurance details, and bank interest amounts. If you have an investment property, bring your rental statements and loan interest summary. Not sure if something counts? Bring it anyway and we will tell you. And if you are missing paperwork, we can pull most of your income details straight from the ATO.
Most returns are prepared and lodged on the same day as your appointment, once you have reviewed and approved everything. After lodgement, the ATO typically processes refunds within two weeks, and often faster. We will let you know as soon as your return is processed, so you are never left guessing.
Yes, that is one of the biggest benefits of using a registered tax agent. If the ATO asks for more information, opens a review, or sends a letter you do not understand, we respond on your behalf. We can also set up payment plans and negotiate penalties for overdue lodgements. You will always know what is happening, but you will never have to face the ATO alone.
