Small business accountant Sydney: Business Accounting & Tax Compliance
SMA Business Advisory is the small business accountant Sydney business owners turn to for accounting and tax compliance that is accurate, lodged on time, and easy to understand. Work directly with Manraj Singh on financial statements, tax returns, BAS and IAS, payroll tax, FBT, and ATO correspondence, all delivered under his direct oversight, in one place.
Compliance done properly, backed by real advice
The accounting and tax fundamentals every business needs, handled by one adviser from start to finish.
This category covers the compliance foundation of your business: financial statements, income tax returns, personal and high-net-worth tax, BAS and IAS, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, and support if the ATO gets in touch. Rather than treating each lodgement as a separate task, we manage them together under Manraj’s direct oversight. This ensures your figures stay consistent across every return and reporting period.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.
Do I need all of these services, or just some of them?
Most clients don’t need everything in this category at once. A sole trader might only need income tax returns and BAS, while a growing company may also need payroll tax and FBT support. We’ll help you work out what actually applies to your business.
How much does business accounting and tax compliance cost?
It depends on the complexity of your business and the mix of services you need. We’ll give you a clear proposal after an initial conversation, so book a consultation to get one.
How long does it take to prepare and lodge a tax return or BAS?
It depends on how complete your records are when we start. Once we have what we need, we work to the ATO’s lodgement deadlines and let you know well ahead of time if anything is outstanding.
Do you work with businesses outside Kellyville?
Yes. Alongside Kellyville, we work with clients across Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills, Norwest and Bella Vista, Rouse Hill, Parramatta and greater Sydney.
Do I need a registered tax agent, or can my bookkeeper lodge my return?
A bookkeeper can prepare your records, and a bookkeeper who is a registered BAS agent can lodge your BAS. Income tax returns need to go through a registered tax agent. Manraj is a registered tax agent and can also work alongside your existing bookkeeper.
What's the difference between my BAS and my annual tax return?
Your BAS reports GST, PAYG and other obligations on a monthly or quarterly cycle throughout the year. Your income tax return is a separate annual lodgement that reports your overall taxable income for the financial year.
Can you help if I'm behind on lodgements or have received an ATO notice?
Yes. This is a common starting point for new clients, and we can talk through your options at an initial consultation.
Is there a minimum engagement length?
No fixed minimum. Some clients need a single year’s tax return, others move to an ongoing compliance relationship. We’ll recommend what fits your situation rather than a set package.
