Business structure accountants for Sydney business owners
SMA Business Advisory works as business structure accountants for business owners across Kellyville, Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills, Norwest & Bella Vista, Rouse Hill, Parramatta and greater Sydney, reviewing whether your current structure is managing tax exposure and protecting your assets the way it should.
Tax efficiency, asset protection and practical operation
This service is for business owners whose structure hasn’t been reviewed in some time, or who are setting up a new venture and want to get the structure right from the start. The right structure balances tax efficiency, asset protection and practical day-to-day operation.
Getting the structure wrong is expensive to unwind later, so this service looks at your current arrangement, or your options for a new one, against your actual risk profile and tax position rather than a generic template.
Assessed against your
actual risk and tax position
We assess your structure and advise on the changes that would materially improve your tax and risk position.
- Structure review
- New venture structuring
- Asset protection planning
- Restructuring for growth or change
A structure that fits your actual business
Manraj brings more than 15 years’ experience across Big Four, mid-tier and boutique firms to structuring decisions, working directly with you to recommend a structure that fits your actual business.
This service is the right starting point if your structure hasn’t been reviewed since it was first set up, if you’re starting a new venture and want it right from the outset, or if your personal or family assets currently sit exposed to business risk. If you only need company registration or ASIC paperwork without a structuring review, that’s handled under our Business Structure and Company Setup service.
- Direct access to a CPA-qualified, registered tax agent for the structuring decision
- Recommendations based on your actual risk profile, not a generic template
- Advice on both the tax and asset protection sides of a structure together
- Support managing any restructure so it's implemented correctly
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.
How do I know if my current business structure needs reviewing?
If it’s been several years since your structure was set up or last reviewed, or your business has changed significantly since then, it’s worth a review.
What's the difference between this and Business Structure and Company Setup?
This service is the advisory review, recommending and planning the right structure. Business Structure and Company Setup, under our Business Support Services, handles the practical registration and setup once a structure is decided.
Can restructuring my business trigger tax consequences?
It can, depending on how it’s done. Part of our advice is managing any restructure so it’s implemented correctly and any tax implications are understood upfront.
Do you help protect personal assets, like the family home, from business risk?
Yes, structuring advice includes looking at how business risk is separated from personal and family assets.
Is this only relevant for larger businesses?
No. Getting the structure right matters most early on, when it’s simplest and cheapest to set up correctly, and remains relevant as the business grows.
How long does a structuring review take?
It depends on the complexity of your current arrangements, but an initial review and recommendation is usually completed within a few weeks.
Is this the right service if I already have a structure in place, or only for new businesses?
Both. It applies equally to reviewing an existing structure that may no longer fit, and to setting one up correctly for a new business or venture from the outset.
