Choosing a tax firm in Melbourne
How to choose: (1) match the firm to your size and stage — a landlord and a 40-person company need different people; (2) confirm the qualification for regulated work (CPA, ACA / ICAEW, ACCA, CA (CA ANZ, CPA Canada, SAICA), CIMA, EA (US Enrolled Agent), Steuerberater, Expert-comptable); (3) ask for a fixed fee in writing; (4) check they use software you can log into; (5) talk to one existing client in your sector.
As one of the larger markets in Australia for accounting, Melbourne firms range from sole practitioners handling personal returns to multi-partner offices running statutory audits and outsourced finance functions. If you are early-stage, a smaller local firm is usually faster and cheaper; above the audit threshold you will want a firm with a registered auditor.

FAQ
When is the filing deadline?
It depends on the country and entity type — see the country notes below. An accountant will confirm your specific dates and can usually file an extension.
Can an accountant reduce my tax bill?
Legally, yes — through allowances, timing, entity structure, pension contributions, and reliefs like R&D. They cannot and should not hide income.
