Frequently Asked Questions
What tax deductions can arborists claim?
You can claim deductions for tools, safety gear, protective clothing, equipment maintenance, training, fuel, and travel directly related to your tree care business. Our tax agents ensure your tax returns include everything you’re entitled to claim.
Do I need accounting software if I hire an accountant?
Not necessarily. Many arborists prefer using cloud-based software to track invoices, payments, and expenses, but our accounting team can manage the books directly or train you to use the software efficiently. We’ll recommend the option that saves you the most time.
What’s the best business structure for an arborist business?
The right structure depends on your individual needs, financial goals, and family situation. Whether you operate as a sole trader, company, or trust, we’ll advise on the most tax-efficient and compliant option to protect your assets and support growth.
How can accounting help with cash flow?
By tracking income and expenses, preparing estimates, and planning for tax payments, our specialists help you manage cash flow. You’ll be ready for quieter months, confident about equipment purchases, and better prepared for seasonal ups and downs.
Do you only help with tax compliance?
No. Our role goes beyond lodging tax returns. We provide specialised services such as payroll, business tax planning, and advisory support to help you grow your arborist business. From handling day-to-day processes to guiding long-term strategies, we’re here to help you achieve efficiency and confidence.
