T&E Accounting ...Our Speciality
By specialising in Special Disability Trust, Deceased Estate Taxation, Testamentary Trusts and Tribunal Reporting, we have been able to keep up with the unique and complex taxation rules and deliver peace of mind for both executors, trustees and families of individuals with special needs now and into the future.
We will provide you with the clarity and the support needed to navigate the finalisation of the estate tax and the ongoing management of your testamentary trust.
We support our clients in all areas of Special Disability Trust taxation and preparation of financial reports for Centrelink compliance.
And we remove the ongoing burden of Tribunal Reporting for the Administrators.
T&E Accounting has one rule:
We deliver the right service at the right time for the right reasons for the benefit of all involved.
While our area of specialisation is narrow the needs and circumstances of the families we look after are infinite. Getting to know you and identifying your needs is the key to the successful delivery of our services.
For each of the four key areas that we specialise in, we offer a free initial consultation. During the consultation, we will gain a clearer understanding of your needs and how we could be of service. We will share with you our knowledge and experience and we will be able to identify what your next steps need to be.
