We’ve been working with Rafal for the past two years, and I couldn’t be happier with his services. He’s incredibly reliable, always professional, and takes the time to explain things in detail. One of the best parts is that he speaks both Polish and English, which makes communication a breeze. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for an experienced and trustworthy accountant!

Raf has been taxing care of my company’s tax for the last few years. A big positive change from the previous two tax agencies I had tried. Raf takes a personal, hands-on attitude – I feel as though he treats my company accounting as though it were his own. Raf is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

It was such a relief for me to let Raf do all of my tax return in the past few years. There is alot of thing I don’t know about doing a proper tax return. Since I used Raf’s service, I received a much bigger return that I had previously. One less thing to worry about every financial year: check!

I’ve been through several different accountants in the past and no other accountant put so much time and effort into understanding my family businesses including our complex family business structure than Tax Accounting Group and Raf in particular. My family had overdue returns, my businesses had messy accounts (despite paying bookkeppers) and I always felt like I was overpaying my taxes. Raf and his team not only brought all my accounts up to date and prepared all my outstanding business returns but Raf also made sure I understood what he was doing. He even found some errors in my already lodged tax returns and amended them saving me a couple of thousands! Raf is very responsive and would always promptly answer every question I had. He knows his stuff and is very easy to talk to. Thank you for your hard work!

I have used Raf for my personal tax returns over the past couple of years. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable regarding the process and made suggestions on things we could claim for that my wife and I never even considered previously. I have typically taken a DIY stance when it came to tax returns prior to going through Tax Accounting Group; though this often meant i only got to claim back a couple of hundred dollars in previous years. This time i got a $3000 refund and last year $2500. So for the price I paid for engaging Raf to do my last couple of tax returns, it was worth it many times over. Definitely recommend others to use them and in doing so support this local small business.
Small Business Tax Return Accountant in Sydney
A small business tax return is where the year has to make sense.
The income, expenses, BAS figures, payroll, loans, asset purchases, drawings and business structure all come together in one return. If those pieces do not line up, the return can become more than a lodgement task. It can expose problems that have been quietly building all year.
I’m Rafal Slowinski, Director of Tax Accounting Group Pty Ltd. I prepare small-business tax returns for owners in Sydney who want their return lodged properly and to understand the result before it goes to the ATO.
This page is for the business owner who has finished the year and now needs the numbers turned into a clear, compliant tax return without guessing, rushing or ignoring the gaps.
The Return Should Be Prepared By Someone Who Reads The Business
Rafal Slowinski is a highly accomplished tax specialist and the Director of Tax Accounting Group Pty Ltd. He holds a degree in Accounting and Tax Law from the University of New South Wales and has dedicated his career to making complex tax structures easier for Australian business owners to understand.
Rafal has worked with more than 2,000 businesses, providing tailored accounting solutions and compliant tax minimisation strategies. His approach focuses on identifying hidden efficiencies, protecting wealth and helping businesses navigate important financial and regulatory challenges.
For tax return preparation, that experience matters because a return is not just a form.
I look at the business behind the figures. The structure, the bookkeeping, the BAS history, the way money has moved, the deductions being claimed and the tax position being reported all need to be read together.
Before Lodgement, The Year Needs To Be Reconciled
The return should not be lodged simply because the deadline is approaching.
First, the year needs to be checked properly. Income should match the records. Expenses should be supported. GST and BAS figures should make sense beside the annual accounts. Payroll, super, PAYG, assets, loans and owner drawings should not be left unexplained.
If something does not fit, it should be dealt with before lodgement, not discovered later through an ATO question, amendment or unexpected tax bill.
This is where small-business tax return preparation differs from basic data entry. The return has to reflect the business accurately, not just repeat whatever is sitting in the software.
A Tax Preparer For Small Business Owners in Sydney
If you are looking for a tax preparer for small business owners in Sydney, the work should give you more than a lodged return.
It should give you a clear view of what happened during the year, what the tax result means and what might need attention before the next year repeats the same problems.
I prepare small-business tax returns for sole traders, companies, partnerships and trusts. The work may involve reviewing financial statements, business income, deductible expenses, depreciation, motor vehicle claims, home office expenses, GST, PAYG, payroll, super, director loans, trust distributions or partnership income.
The details depend on your structure.
A sole trader’s return may be included in the owner’s individual tax return. A company return may raise questions about retained profits, director loans or wages. A trust return may depend on distribution decisions. A partnership return requires that the business results and the partners’ positions be handled consistently.
The return has to fit the structure, not the other way around.
The Gaps That Delay A Business Tax Return
A tax return often slows down because the same few issues remain unresolved.
There may be unreconciled bank accounts. BAS figures may not match the year-end records. Asset purchases may not be separated from repairs. Personal and business expenses may be mixed together. Payroll reports may not match the accounts. Loan payments may have been recorded incorrectly. Cash takings, merchant deposits or platform income may need to be checked against what was actually earned.
These are not minor details when they affect taxable income.
I work through the gaps that matter for the return, explain what information is missing and prepare the return from numbers that can be supported.
If the bookkeeping needs correction first, that becomes part of the process. A cleaner return starts with clearer evidence.
What You Should Understand Before The Return Is Lodged
A business owner should not find out what the return means only after lodgement.
Before the return is finalised, the result should be clear. You should understand whether tax is payable, why the amount looks the way it does, whether PAYG instalments may follow, whether deductions were limited by missing records and whether anything should be improved for the next financial year.
That explanation matters.
A small business tax return can show patterns that are easy to miss during the year. Profit may have increased, but cash may still feel tight. GST may have been treated like spare money. Payroll may have grown faster than expected. Asset purchases may have reduced tax, but created cash flow pressure. Owner drawings may need better planning.
The return is a chance to close the year properly and gain a better understanding of the next one.
