Full Pty Ltd registration with ASIC, set up correctly for a foreign-parent structure. We handle the share structure, constitution, and resident-director arrangement — not just the registration form.

Before you commit, we map the options: Pty Ltd subsidiary vs. Australian branch vs. distributor model. Includes tax-cost comparison and a written recommendation paper for your Group CFO.

Australia requires every director to hold a Director ID, and at least one director to be Australian-resident. We coordinate the application process and can introduce trusted resident-director service providers.

We introduce you to business bankers who actually open accounts for foreign-owned subsidiaries (most don’t). We prepare the documentation and accompany you to the meeting where helpful.

Share issues, shareholder agreements, and parent-subsidiary loan documentation set up correctly from day one — these are the documents the ATO will ask for in any future audit.

When your Australian subsidiary buys from, sells to, or pays the parent for anything, the ATO expects formal transfer pricing documentation. We prepare the documentation, set defensible margins, and brief your team on what records to keep. This is the #1 audit trigger for foreign-owned subsidiaries.

Royalties, interest, dividends, management fees, and technical-service fees paid offshore are all subject to Australian withholding. We get the rate right, lodge the returns, and document the basis.

If you operate in Australia without an entity, you may already have a ‘permanent establishment’ — exposing the parent to Australian tax. We assess the risk and structure the activity to keep you on the right side of the line.

GST registration, treatment of imports, input-tax credits on customs-cleared goods, GST-free vs. taxable supplies — the complete picture for hardware importers and service providers.

Cars, phones, entertainment, expat allowances — Australia taxes employee benefits separately from income tax. We set up FBT correctly the first time and lodge the annual return.

Up to 43.5% refundable tax offset for eligible R&D activities. We register your activities with AusIndustry, prepare the technical and expenditure claims, and defend them if reviewed.

For directors, expat employees, and the parent entity itself — clear advice on who is taxed where, and what documentation supports the position.

If the ATO comes asking — and for foreign subsidiaries, sooner or later they will — we prepare the responses, manage the correspondence, and represent you through to resolution.

Single Touch Payroll (STP), PAYG withholding, superannuation guarantee (currently 12%), payslips, leave accruals, and end-of-year reporting — all set up in your accounting software so payroll runs cleanly from your first hire onward.

Modern Award classification, Fair Work compliance, employment contracts that meet Australian standards, and the National Employment Standards (NES) embedded into how you run payroll.

Living-Away-From-Home Allowance (LAFHA), residency-based taxation, foreign-share-scheme tax events, super for non-residents — the specific issues that come with sending head-office staff to Australia.

We work alongside registered migration agents to coordinate the financial and tax side of work-visa applications (482 / Subclass 186 / Employer Sponsored Nominations). We don’t provide migration advice ourselves — we make sure the financials line up with what the migration agent needs.

Tax-effective remuneration for directors and senior staff, including the FBT consequences of every option — so head office sees a salary cost that matches what was budgeted.

A partner-level finance lead embedded in your business — without the cost of a full-time hire. We attend board meetings, review pricing decisions, manage banking relationships, and own the finance function until you’re ready to bring it in-house.

Daily bookkeeping in Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks — whichever your group uses. We can also work alongside parent-company ERPs (SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics) where that’s the requirement.

Quarterly Business Activity Statements and monthly Instalment Activity Statements, prepared and lodged on time. We reconcile every BAS to your accounting records before lodging — no surprises.

P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow delivered in your group’s format and currency (USD, CNY, EUR, JPY, KRW), aligned to your group close timetable. Your Group CFO sees the Australian entity in the same shape as every other subsidiary.

We coordinate with your group auditor (Big 4 or otherwise), prepare the consolidation pack, and respond to audit queries — so the parent close runs to schedule.

Annual financial statements compliant with Australian Accounting Standards (AASB) and reconciled to IFRS — ready for the parent-company audit and any local-statutory requirements.

Annual review fees, solvency resolutions, share register maintenance, and company-secretary services — the unglamorous statutory work that, if missed, causes ASIC to deregister your company.

Three-statement budgets and rolling 13-week cash flow forecasts in your group format. Useful for managing AU working capital and for explaining the AU funding ask to head office.
