Accountants for property investors — online, Australia-wide
One property or a portfolio, the questions repeat: what's deductible, what structure should hold the next one, and what will the CGT be when you sell. We answer all three with numbers, not folklore.
The package that fits
Most investors need the complex individual return — rental schedules, dividends and CGT handled properly — with structure advice and trust or SMSF work added as the portfolio grows.
Prices ex GST, current at [[month year]], for standard-complexity work; a fixed quote is confirmed before we start. Full price list on the pricing page.
Property tax rewards the organised. Investors who arrive with a depreciation schedule, a clean loan split and a cost-base file pay less tax on the way through and dramatically less at the sale — and none of that requires meetings in an office. Statements upload once a year, the rental schedule is built and reviewed by video, and the portal keeps every cost-base record until the day you sell.
As the portfolio grows, the conversation shifts to structure — trusts, companies, super — and to sequencing sales around the six-year CGT rule and the main residence exemption. That planning is where an accountant stops being a lodgement cost and starts being an investment return.
The compliance that matters in your industry
Negative gearing, quantified
Gearing is a cash-flow decision, not just a deduction. We model the after-tax holding cost per property per week, so you know exactly what the portfolio costs to carry.
Records that survive a decade
Cost base items — stamp duty, capital improvements, borrowing costs — are logged in the portal from purchase, so the CGT calculation at sale is arithmetic, not archaeology.
Trusts, companies and super for property
Land tax surcharges, negative-gearing limits inside trusts and SMSF borrowing rules all change the answer. We compare structures with your actual numbers before the next purchase.
Questions, answered
What can I claim on my rental property?
Interest, agent fees, rates, insurance, repairs, depreciation of plant and the building allowance where eligible — offset against rent, with the loss negatively geared against other income if you hold in your own name. Capital improvements aren't deductible now but reduce your CGT later. We build the schedule so nothing is missed or misclassified.
How does the six-year CGT rule work?
If a property was your main residence first, you can generally treat it as your main residence for up to six years while renting it out — keeping the CGT exemption if you don't claim another home in that window. Timing and elections matter; see our full guide or ask before you sell.
Should my next property go in a trust?
Sometimes. Trusts add asset protection and flexibility but can trap rental losses and attract land-tax surcharges in some states. It depends on gearing, income mix and the long-term plan — we model your case both ways before you buy.
Can my SMSF buy property?
An SMSF can hold property, including with a limited recourse borrowing arrangement, under strict rules — sole purpose, related-party limits, bare trust structure. We handle the fund's accounting and structure set-up, and refer the "should you" advice to a licensed adviser as the law requires.
