Work with us

Despite our name, a significant percentage of our clients are actually men! Sometimes this is because they are partners of our boss ass business women clients or they run businesses themselves and have women lookin’ after the books. While we are happy to work with anyone who aligns with our values, we do primarily provide fresh and fun finance support for women in business.

There ain’t no cowboys around here! Yes, we are registered tax agents who can legally prepare and lodge all ATO documents. We also have tertiary qualifications in business, finance, accounting, bookkeeping, and more covered across our team and decades of combined experience running successful businesses.

We are based in Toowoomba in sunny regional Queensland, but you don’t need to be local to work with us. Thanks to the rapid rise in cloud-based accounting software and the wonders of Zoom, we can (and do!) work with clients based all over Australia.

As a Xero Gold Partner, we primarily work with clients who use Xero. However, we have  – of course we are going to recommend Xero. Having said that, we are very happy to work with what you’ve got, whether it’s Quickbooks, Reckon, MYOB or something new.

First things first — we love paying tax. Well, that might be a stretch — but the way we see it: if you are paying tax, you are making money. Not only that, but paying taxes is how we ensure we have roads to drive on, hospitals to take care of us, schools to educate us — you know, the important things.

Having said that, there are a number of tax planning strategies we can legally implement to minimise our taxable income and maximise our peace of mind. Download our Tax Planning Checklist for a taste.

If we had a dollar for every time someone told us they ‘wish they’d started working with an accountant sooner,’ we could have retired in the Bahamas by now. Basically, the second you are looking to start a business is when you need to hire an accountant.

At The Women’s Accountant, we’re also far more than just your ordinary bean counters — we are business advisors that can help you set up the right business structure, systems, pricing strategy, and profit-first modelling to give you the best chance of success from the start.

Anyone with a lockdown haircut can tell you: just because you can do something yourself, doesn’t mean you should. Apart from being tax deductible, a good accountant is worth their weight in gold (or chocolate if you’d prefer), but when they can also provide insightful advice and strategy from decades of experience running businesses, then it’s an absolute no-brainer.

Of course, you need to make sure they are ‘the one’ you want to jump in between the (spread)sheets with, so we always recommend you ‘date’ a few before you decide. To see if we’re the right fit for you, book an obligation-free strategy session with Emma. 

Not at all! Once you’ve made the decision (hooray!), we handle all of the logistics for you. Just like doing the dishes, it’s never as hard as you think.

Great question! Unfortunately, the short answer is no — unless you are part of the family group of one of our business clients. However, we do have a rolodex of other great accountants who can help you if you need an individual tax return that’s not connected to a business, just ask!

Absolutely! We love working with sole traders to run profitable, thriving businesses. However, it has to be your full-time gig. Unfortunately, we do not prepare income tax returns for individuals who are not running a business, or for those running their business as a hobby or ‘side hustle’.
