    Hi all,

    I've started to think about FY22 tax time and decided it's time I get an accountant to lodge my tax for me

    Just wondering if you guys have any recommendations for accountants

    It will be a fairly straightforward return
    • My spouse and my self are PAYG employees, both earn 90k but hope to be under the Medicare levy surcharge when taking into account deductions
    • 1 investment purchased during the FY
    • Sold some shares during the FY
    • claiming working from home deductions
    Thanks!

    A great accountant is invaluable if you are starting your property investment journey. A great accountant is more than someone that just does your yearly tax.
    I have use Keshab Chartered Accountants in Parramatta for the past 12 years. They are amazing.

    A great property focussed accountant is your best choice. How do you know they know property tax well ?

    - They will have a CGT record keeping tool even for your own home !!! Perhaps even some other useful tools like a blended loan calculator etc....
    - They dont bill adhoc minor questions
    - They are very prominent in property social media etc but dont help sell property
    - You speak to qualified property focussed staff only.

    Thank you Paul - are you currently taking on smaller and new customers? If not do you have any recommendations for Tax agents in Melbourne?
