Burleigh Heads

Five ways we work with Burleigh Heads businesses.

Business accountants Burleigh Heads

Burleigh Heads has become one of the Gold Coast's strongest small business strips: James Street retail, hospitality, breweries, creative agencies and the trades and builders working the surrounding suburbs. We help Burleigh owners structure well, plan tax before 30 June and keep the ATO quiet.

Bookkeeping Burleigh Heads

Burleigh Heads venues, retailers and agencies run lean teams and busy ledgers. Our bookkeeping team reconciles Xero weekly, keeps the coding right, and gives you a clean set of numbers every month rather than a shoebox every June.

Virtual CFO Burleigh Heads

For Burleigh Heads businesses opening a second venue, a wholesale line or a new studio, a virtual CFO gives you margin by product and location, a cash flow forecast that includes the fit-out, and the numbers to negotiate the lease.

Business advisory Burleigh Heads

Advisory for Burleigh Heads founders usually starts with the structure that was set up in a hurry: separating the brand, the lease and the trading entity, protecting what the business has built, and planning for the day someone offers to buy it.

Business coaching Burleigh Heads

Coaching for Burleigh Heads owners who have a great product and a business that still depends on them being there. Systems, a manager, a quarterly plan tied to the numbers, and someone who will tell you the truth about both.

Working with Burleigh Heads businesses

What we see in Burleigh Heads.

Burleigh Heads has become one of the busiest small business strips on the Gold Coast. James Street and the Burleigh industrial estate hold cafes, breweries, boutique retail, surf and apparel brands selling online as much as over the counter, agencies and a deep bench of builders and trades who work the suburbs from Palm Beach to Miami.

The pattern we see is a business that grew faster than its structure. A brand that started as a market stall and now ships nationally, a venue that opened a second site on a handshake, a builder whose QBCC category no longer matches the turnover. We sort the structure, get the bookkeeping current, plan tax in May with real numbers, and give the owner a monthly set of figures they can run the business on.

Before you ask

Burleigh Heads accountants: the questions we get.

Do you work with Burleigh Heads retail and ecommerce brands?

Yes. Burleigh has produced a lot of surf, apparel and lifestyle brands that started on James Street or at a market and now sell nationally online. The accounting work is inventory and cost of goods, Shopify and marketplace reconciliation to Xero, GST on mixed sales channels, and a structure that protects the brand as it becomes valuable. Our ecommerce industry page covers it in more depth.

Can you help a Burleigh builder with QBCC financial requirements?

Yes. We prepare the financial statements and reports the QBCC requires at each licence category, work out well before the deadline whether the business meets the net tangible asset test, and advise on the structure if a category change is coming. We also handle the job costing, progress claim and subcontractor reporting that building businesses in Burleigh and the southern Gold Coast need every month.

My business grew fast and the structure is a mess. Where do we start?

With a structure review. We map what exists today, where the risk and the tax sit, and what the business will look like in three years, then recommend the changes worth making and the ones that are not. Restructuring has tax consequences of its own, so it is planned and quoted up front as a project rather than done piecemeal. New Wave Law drafts the agreements in the same building.

Do I have to come to Mermaid Beach, or do you come to Burleigh?

Either. The office is ten minutes up the highway and most Burleigh clients come to us for tax planning and year-end. For virtual CFO and advisory clients we are happy to run the quarterly session at your premises with your managers in the room. Everything in between happens on a video call with the same designated team.
