Accounting for Hampton businesses & tradies
Between the Hampton Street traders and the builders, sparkies and plumbers working across Bayside, Hampton runs on small business. I keep the tax side simple so you can stay on the tools or on the shop floor.
Individual returns from $390 · Business tax & advisory from $250/month.
A lot of my Hampton work is trades: utes and equipment write-offs, subbies and TPAR, GST and quoting margins. If that's you, you'll want an accountant who answers the phone from a job site, that's the entire point of how I work. Phone, Google Meet, or the office ten minutes up Nepean Hwy.

Small business in Hampton
Hampton Street gives the suburb a compact, well-established retail and services strip, cafés, homewares, health and professional offices, largely independent. Sitting alongside it is a substantial trades base: builders, electricians, plumbers, landscapers and renovation specialists who live in Hampton and work across Bayside and the wider south-east.
Bayside renovation and rebuild work keeps that trade sector busy, and it brings a particular set of tax questions. Progress payments and retentions affect when income is recognised, subcontractor arrangements have to stand up to scrutiny, and the timing of a new ute or excavator against the instant asset write-off can move a tax bill by thousands. None of that is difficult, but it does need someone paying attention before 30 June rather than after.
What that usually means for your tax
- Vehicles, tools and plant, claimed correctly and timed against the instant asset write-off
- Subcontractors versus employees, so the arrangement holds up if the ATO asks
- TPAR lodgement for building and construction, prepared straight from your accounting file
- Quoting and job margins, so you can see which jobs actually made money

Questions I hear from Hampton
Once you're GST-registered and lodging BAS, you're running a business, and the difference between a return-only accountant and year-round support shows up fast: instant asset write-off timing on the next ute, subbie arrangements done safely, and no surprise tax bills in a good year. That's what the fixed monthly fee covers.
Yes. If you're in building and construction and pay subcontractors, the Taxable Payments Annual Report is due 28 August each year. I prepare it straight from your accounting file so it's a non-event.
It depends on your profit this year versus next, whether the vehicle is above or below the car limit, and your genuine business-use percentage. Buying in a high-profit year can be worth real money; buying in a quiet one can waste the deduction. Ask me before you sign, it takes ten minutes to check.
That's the main reason people move to me. Calls and emails are included in the fixed fee, so there's no meter running and no reason to hesitate before asking. Most questions get answered same day, and if I can't take the call I'll come back to you rather than leave it.
- On time, every time. Every lodgement in on time, provided your records reach me by the date on your calendar.
- The price you agreed, and no other. Your fee is agreed in writing before any work starts, and it doesn't go up for 12 months.
- Never locked in. No fixed term. If it isn't working, end it with 30 days' notice and I'll hand your file to your next accountant promptly.
