Comprehensive accounting and advisory for Warragul businesses — from start-up to established enterprise
Running a business in Warragul or the Baw Baw Shire comes with enough complexity without having to worry about whether your accounting is keeping pace. Raymond Partners has been supporting local businesses since 1981, providing hands-on accounting and advisory that goes well beyond compliance.
Whether you're a sole trader keeping an eye on your BAS, a family business navigating succession, or a company looking to structure things more efficiently, our team brings the experience and local knowledge to make a genuine difference.
Raymond Partners offers a full suite of business accounting services including business tax returns, tax planning, BAS lodgement, company and trust set-up, financial statements, and strategic business advice tailored to your industry and circumstances.
Most businesses lodge BAS quarterly, though some smaller businesses may be eligible for annual lodgement. The ATO assigns your reporting period based on your annual GST turnover. Raymond Partners can manage the entire BAS process on your behalf to ensure accurate and timely lodgement.
Yes. Proactive tax planning is central to our business services. We work with you throughout the year — not just at tax time — to identify legitimate strategies that minimise your tax liability and maximise retained earnings, including timing of income and expenses, asset write-offs, and superannuation contributions.
Each structure has different tax, liability, and administrative implications. Sole traders have simple reporting but full personal liability. Trusts offer flexibility for income distribution. Companies provide liability protection and a flat corporate tax rate. The right choice depends on your circumstances — Raymond Partners will assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate structure.
Yes. Luke Adrichem, one of our senior CPAs, specialises in primary producer taxation — including farm income averaging, off-farm income, drought assistance, and succession planning. We have extensive experience with agricultural businesses in the Baw Baw Shire region.
You must register for GST if your annual turnover is $75,000 or more (or $150,000 for not-for-profits). If you're approaching the threshold or unsure, Raymond Partners can assess your position and handle the registration process for you.
The ATO requires businesses to keep records for at least five years. This includes income and sales records, expense receipts, bank statements, payroll records, and asset registers. Raymond Partners can advise on the best record-keeping systems to make compliance straightforward year-round.
The most effective tax planning happens throughout the year, not just in June. We recommend meeting with your accountant at least twice annually — mid-year to review your position and before 30 June to finalise timing decisions. Raymond Partners is available for consultations year-round.
