Tax & Compliance

Accounting & Bookkeeping

Business & Registration

Advisory & Growth

When you need more than tax and accounting. Where you need a service we are not licensed to provide — such as an SMSF audit, financial product advice or legal advice — we can introduce you to independent, appropriately licensed professionals. You engage them directly and they are responsible for their own advice.

Orchards, growers and farms — primary‑production tax, averaging and asset write‑offs.

Dairy & Food Processing

From family dairies to processors — payroll, BAS and equipment purchases accounted for.

Consultants and agencies — company structures, PSI rules and advisory.

Startups & Sole Traders

New to business — we get your structure, registrations and books right from day one.

03 — How it works

Simple to get started. Easy to stay on top of.

No jargon, no run‑around. Here's exactly what working with SMT looks like.

1

Free intro chat

Call, text or WhatsApp us. We learn about you and your goals — no cost, no obligation.

2

Review & quote

We assess your situation, identify what applies to you, and agree a clear, fixed fee up front.

3

Onboard & lodge

We set you up as a client, gather what's needed, and prepare and lodge your work with the ATO.

4

Ongoing support

Year‑round advice whenever you need it — plus reminders to help you meet every deadline.

◷ Live

Stay ahead of every ATO deadline.

Because we lodge under the ATO's registered agent lodgment program, clients who join us by 31 October and are up to date with earlier lodgments generally have more time to lodge — and often to pay — than the standard dates. Here's what's coming up next — updated automatically.

Dates shown are a guide for the current lodgment cycle and assume electronic lodgment in good standing. Where a date falls on a weekend or public holiday, the next business day applies. Registered‑agent dates generally require you to be our client by 31 October with earlier returns up to date, and some clients have earlier dates. Your exact due date can vary with your circumstances, entity type and lodgment history — as your registered tax agent, we confirm the precise dates that apply to you. Based on the ATO registered agent lodgment program.

08 — FAQ

Questions, answered.

The things people ask us most. Can't see yours? Call or message — we're happy to help.

Yes. SMT Accounting Pty Ltd is a Registered Tax Agent (No. 26266813) under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009, regulated by the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB). You can verify our registration any time on the TPB register at tpb.gov.au.

No. We're based in Shepparton North and look after clients right across the Goulburn Valley — Mooroopna, Kialla, Tatura and beyond — as well as all of Australia. You can work with us entirely by phone, email and WhatsApp, so you never have to come in unless you'd like to.

Absolutely — it's one of the most common reasons people call us. We'll bring you up to date on late returns and BAS, and we can liaise with the ATO on your behalf about outstanding debt and payment arrangements. There's no judgement here, just a plan to get you sorted.

Fees depend on the complexity of your situation, so we agree a clear, fixed price with you before any work starts — no surprises. Call 0466 666 598 for an obligation‑free quote.

We work with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks. If you're already using one, we'll pick up where you are; if you're starting fresh, we'll recommend and set up the right platform for your business.

It's easier than most people expect. Let us know you'd like to move across and we'll request your records from your previous accountant and handle the handover professionally. Companies, trusts, partnerships and SMSFs also need to nominate us as their agent with the ATO — a step the ATO requires you to do yourself, and we show you how.

Onboarding is entirely online and takes minutes. You sign your engagement letter electronically and verify your ID through a secure, encrypted link — never by email or social media. Start onboarding here, or book a call first if you'd like a chat.

We take the security of your information seriously. We handle it confidentially, in line with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, and we collect identification through a secure, encrypted link. We'll never ask you to send your ID, tax file number or bank details by email or social media.

Our office is by appointment only. Please call or message us first so we can book a time that suits you — that way you get our full attention and don't have a wasted trip.

We provide taxation and accounting services. We are not licensed to provide financial product advice under an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). Where you need personal financial or investment advice, we can refer you to a licensed adviser.

Companies, trusts & partnerships

One extra step: nominate us as your agent

Under the ATO's client‑to‑agent linking rules, every entity with an ABN other than a sole trader — companies, trusts, partnerships and SMSFs — must digitally nominate a new tax agent before we're able to act for it. It's a quick, one‑off security step you complete yourself in ATO Online services for business — we'll guide you through it, but the ATO requires the business to do this part.

  1. Sign in to ATO Online services for business with your myID — you'll need to be the business's principal authority (a director, partner or trustee) or someone they have authorised in Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM).
  2. Go to Profile → Agent details, then at Agent nominations select Add.
  3. Enter our Registered Agent Number 26266813 and select Search, choose SMT Accounting Pty Ltd, check the details are ours, complete the declaration and submit.
  4. Tell us once it's done — we then have 28 days to accept and link your account, and we'll take it from there.
