FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with KK Partners Group.

What accounting software do you support?

We are a Xero Gold Partner and MYOB Gold Partner, meaning our team is fully certified in both platforms. We can help you set up, migrate to, or optimise your use of either system.

How do I know if I need an accountant?

If you're running a business, investing in property or shares, managing a self-managed super fund, or want to pay less tax legally — you need an accountant. The cost of good advice is almost always less than the tax or compliance errors it prevents.

How often should I meet with my accountant?

Business clients benefit from quarterly meetings at minimum. Individual clients typically meet annually for tax return preparation, though those with investment portfolios or complex situations may benefit from more frequent contact.

Can I switch accountants to KKP?

Yes, switching is straightforward. We'll request your prior year records and authority from your previous accountant, review your position and take over from there. There's no disruption to your obligations during the transition.

Do you work with clients outside Brighton?

Yes. While most of our clients are in Brighton and the Bayside area, we work with clients across Melbourne and can conduct meetings via video call for clients who prefer it.

What's the difference between a tax agent and a financial adviser?

A tax agent (accountant) prepares tax returns, provides compliance advice and handles ATO matters. A financial adviser provides licensed investment, super and retirement planning advice. KK Partners Group includes both disciplines — giving you coordinated advice from one team.

How long does it take to prepare a tax return?

Individual returns are typically prepared within 1–2 weeks of receiving all documents. Business returns depend on the complexity of the financial statements. We'll give you a timeline at the start of the engagement.

What do I need to bring to my first meeting?

For a first meeting, bring any prior year tax returns, financial statements, bank statements, and a list of your income sources and major expenses. If you're a business owner, also bring your BAS history and payroll records.

Are your fees tax deductible?

Yes — fees paid to a registered tax agent for preparing tax returns and managing tax-related matters are generally tax deductible. Fees for financial advice may also be partly deductible in certain circumstances. We'll clarify this for your situation.

What is your fee structure?

We use a fixed-fee model for most engagements, quoted after an initial discussion of your needs. This means you know your cost upfront, with no surprise hourly billing. Contact us for a no-obligation fee estimate.
