We Help Founders and New Ventures Protect Their Runway and Maximise Profit

A new business may see fast early sales, but momentum doesn’t guarantee lasting profits. High acqurisition costs, hidden software fees, and early hiring can quickly drain capital before you break even.

That’s why your financial management should focus on efficiency and smart forecasting. We help you look past vanity metrics to see real unit economics, so you can scale safely. With our support, you’ll protect your assets, extend your cash runway, and fund your growth with confidence.

We work with ambitious founders and entrepreneurs who want to:

  • Automate payroll and superannuation obligations for an expanding remote or local team.
  • Establish the correct corporate structure to limit liability and attract future investors.
  • Transition smoothly from a side hustle or sole trader setup into a scalable proprietary limited company.
  • Navigate early-stage tax obligations, including GST registration, payroll tax thresholds, and fringe benefits tax.

Clean financial metrics help you build a more sustainable venture

Knowing your exact costs and expenses gives you real clarity. We help you spot rising subscriptions and identify your most profitable products or services. We turn your early receipts and invoices into a simple, real-time cloud accounting ledger. With our startup accounting specialist, you get a clear view of your burn rate, cash runway, and margins. That way, you can focus on product-market fit and signing clients while we keep your financials organised and ready for growth.

Let’s protect your cash runway and build a profitable business together.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should a new startup register for GST in Australia?

Register for GST within 21 days of your startup’s turnover reaching $75,000 in a 12-month period. If you’re under this amount, registration is optional, but registering early lets you claim GST credits on setup costs and software.

What is the best business structure for a new startup looking to scale and raise capital?

A proprietary limited company (Pty Ltd) is best for startups that want to attract investors, issue equity, or scale quickly. It limits founders’ personal liability, can issue shares, and qualifies for the 25% corporate tax rate.

What is a startup’s "burn rate" and "cash runway," and how does an accountant track them?

Burn rate is how much cash your startup spends each month before turning a profit. Cash runway is how many months you have left at your current burn rate. Accountants track this by dividing your cash reserves by your monthly outflow, often using three-way forecasting for accuracy.
