Thanks to its 10 years of industry experience and straightforward pricing system, we see Simpro Taxation Services as one of the most trustworthy companies to hire for your tax concerns.

We find the team’s senior reputation as the company’s biggest selling point. It’s likely that most filers will trust someone who has been doing business with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for years.

Moreover, the fact that Simpro has a fixed quote system for its tax return-related services makes it deserving of the positive feedback it got from clients. 

We also love that their office accepts walk-ins and is open on Saturdays. That means more people can avail of the company’s services and resolve their taxation woes.

Simpro’s starting rate for individual tax return assistance is $75 (note that this fee changes, depending on how close the tax season is), which we see as reasonable.

But for those with simple tax returns who can file theirs if they take the time to learn, spending the said amount might be a bit much. After all, doing the task yourself is way cheaper.

As for customer service, we see a tiny chance of Simpro overlooking a client’s wish due to busyness. Rest assured, though, that such scenarios are few and far in between.

Pine Tax Accounting stands out for specifying specialized services. Being specific about what they can do is already impressive, but what really sold us is the complexity of the assistance.

One of their services is helping clients file tax returns for their Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF). This investment system requires plenty of time, money, and sufficient knowledge to work, and even then investors still face many risks.

That said, we believe seeking assistance from a company like Pine Tax for filing a tax return for your SMSF can ease your burden. 

Pine Tax also assists with lodging tax returns for companies offering fringe benefits, which we find assuring. The best thing is that the company accommodates even small businesses.

However, the company doesn’t post its starting rates online, so you’ll need to call them to know their fees. Pine Tax will try to price-match quotes you’ve received from other agents, though.

They also have phone consultations and after-hours services, but we think it’s better for clients to go on-site when the tax concerns are as complex as in SMSF and fringe benefits. 

Perth Mobile Tax & Services is the company we recommend if you’re too busy for on-site appointments.   

The service will come to you to help you lodge your tax returns, saving you travel time and expenses. We love that the company does it seven days a week and targets to finish the task within 48 hours.

We also find the company as reliable as our other picks because of its 30 years of operation on top of highly skilled accountants and tax agents.

However, Perth Mobile only allows up to 10 minutes of free phone consultation. This might be short if you’re to carefully gauge if the company is a match for you.

Also, know that the company offers services in packages (for instance, combining tax returns and comprehensive services) so the starting rate will be a bit pricier.

We think people who want to learn more about taxes, business, and wealth-building will find hiring CapitalQ worthwhile.

The company offers the usual tax return and other related assistance. Moreover, its packages include educating you on tax minimization strategies.

On top of the comprehensive packaged services, CapitalQ offers workshops and seminars aiming to educate you as you go along your taxation journey. 

It’s a thrilling prospect to have professionals unburden you of lodging responsibilities while also teaching you about taxes and doing business. 

However, the packages are pricey, as CapitalQ charges monthly for its services, making hiring the company a poor choice if you’re on a budget. The caveat is that you’re entitled to free calls, emails, and quick queries within the paid period.

The company also highly encourages in-person meetings to optimize its services. But if you need the team to come over, you will have to shoulder their travel costs.

While tax services make it easier to manage your obligations, TaxAssist takes it further by charging fixed, reasonable rates and being easily reachable.

We find it convenient that the company allows free initial consultations in-person or through phone and video conference, as such means are the fastest and easiest ways to get a feel of the service provider. 

Moreover, it provides a free quote valid for three months. The grace period is helpful if you take your time deciding on whether to hire the service or not.

It’s unfortunate that the company’s open only on weekdays, though. If you want to go with the TaxAssist team, you’ll need to dedicate some time to visit them during your workdays.

Also, its services are relatively more traditional than our other picks. Clients who seek a dynamic approach and appreciate seminars might find the rest of our selection to be more to their taste.
