Yes, our tiered pricing is designed to grow with your business. If your revenue changes, you can move up or down a tier at any time. This flexibility ensures you’re always paying the right amount for the services you need — without being locked into the wrong plan.
Payroll is included in our pricing structure, scaled to the number of employees your business has. Whether you have one staff member or a team, we’ll process wages, superannuation, and Single Touch Payroll (STP) compliance, so you never fall behind on obligations or face ATO penalties.
End-of-financial-year tax returns and annual financial statements can be bundled into your monthly package, or billed separately if you prefer. Many clients choose bundling for predictable costs, while others prefer to pay as required. Either way, you’ll always know the price upfront with no hidden fees.
