Preparation of income tax returns, BAS, GST, ASIC returns and financial statements is a fundamental aspect of our business.
As part of our philosophy towards developing relationships with our clients we aim to undertake as much compliance work at the client’s premises as possible/practical. To date, clients have responded favorably to this because the accountant is on hand to answer questions, it is most efficient and no time is wasted.
The primary objective of our business consulting team is to help you improve your business and lifestyle. This is achieved through a strong business relationship built on trust.
We are passionate about giving you and your business ‘more life’. As your business consultant we will work closely with you to develop successful business strategies, which are integrally linked to your lifestyle objectives.
Baumgartner Partners’ superannuation division is headed up by David Burrows and caters for all aspects of self-managed superannuation fund compliance. Establishing a separate division within this quickly growing area has allowed us to provide the resources to ensure our clients receive the best possible range of superannuation services.
Acting in various capacities such as audit, tax planning and compliance for over 2500 self-managed superannuation funds has enabled us to develop an unsurpassable knowledge of the compliance audit requirements, and hence develop a unique market position ahead of our colleagues.
The focus of this division is to provide a dedicated resource to cater for a variety of complex taxation issues faced by our clients.
In today’s climate up against a litigious Australian Taxation Office, we find most clients require tax planning to focus on funding and timing of payments rather than minimising the amount payable. Despite this, Baumgartner Partners prides itself on providing relevant and proactive advice to minimise the amount payable, tailored to the perceived risk profile of a client.
Depending on your circumstances, we use a variety of strategies and methods from setting up tax-effective structures to annual reviews targeting specific exposures, to help clients manage complex taxation issues.
In addition to domestic taxation, we have many clients with international tax exposure and have developed an expertise in this highly technical area.
Over the course of his career, Graeme Richardson has been the tax advisor for many foreign and local superstars on their tours of Australia and abroad.

As a result, Baumgartner Partners is able to provide tax advice of the highest quality for foreign acts touring Australia and also for local acts performing overseas.
