FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL ADVISERS?

Accountants and financial advisers serve distinct roles within the financial
services industry, though their functions can sometimes overlap:

Tax Accountants:

The primary role of our accountants is to maintain financial records, financial
reporting and analyse financial statements to provide expert personal and
business accounting advice to small business owners and individuals. Accountants
also specialise in providing business advice, preparing and lodging income tax
returns and business activity statements (BAS), forecasting cash flow, handling
some financial matters, auditing procedures, and ensuring regulatory tax
compliance

Financial Advisers:

The role of a financial adviser is to provide expert advice on wealth management
and financial planning. An Advisor’s area of expertise extends to investment
advice, retirement planning, risk management, estate planning, superannuation,
insurance advice, and other financial strategies to acheive their clients’
financial goals. advisors help clients to make informed decisions about their
money, aiming to grow their wealth and achieve specific financial objectives.

While both professionals provide valuable financial insights, our accountants
traditionally handle the specifics of producing tax returns, financial
statements and records, small business accounting, and tax advice. In contrast,
our financial advisers focus on investment strategies, wealth creation and
broader financial planning for long term success.

HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT BUSINESS ACCOUNTANTS?

Effective business growth relies on finding the right business accountants that
align with your unique needs as a business owner. A good accountant has a
combination of relevant qualifications, a strong reputation, extensive industry
knowledge and experience, a broad service offering, a clear and upfront
fee-for-service structure, solid communication and transparency, and a
commitment to your business growth and success.

At BIS Cosgrove, our Gold Coast business accountants have over 25 years of
experience understanding your specific needs as a business owner. We don’t just
understand individual and business accounting, we live and breathe it. We have
helped more than 2,000 of our clients transform their businesses and have
propelled growth and prosperity for thousands of individuals and business owners
alike.

SHOULD I SEE AN ACCOUNTANT BEFORE STARTING A BUSINESS?

Absolutely! In fact, even if you don’t plan on starting a business it’s still
advisable that you engage the services of an accountant to ensure you are
meeting your individual tax obligations and optimising your financial position.
Seeing an accountant before starting your business journey is highly
recommended.

Our accountants across the Gold Coast and Brisbane have over 25 years of
accounting and business experience. We provide guidance on small business
structure, setup and advice, potential tax implications, initial financial
planning, and regulatory compliance. Their extensive knowledge and deep
understanding of tax and accounting, coupled with their small business
experience and entity expertise can help you save time, grow your business and
minimise tax liabilities. When you engage one of our expert business
accountants, you set a strong foundation to ensure you make informed decisions
that fosters business growth and sustainability.

of our offices via phone or email, or submitting an enquiry on our Contact page.
One of our staff will get in touch with you to discuss your circumstances and
what you are looking for! If we are the right fit for one another, our friendly
reception staff will organise an initial meeting with one of our expert
accountants or advisors, either in-office or remotely (your choice!). We can
then further discuss your unique circumstances in detail, and commence the
onboarding process.

DO YOU WORK WITH BUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUALS?

Our accountants have an extensive history providing tax, accounting and
financial advice not only to individuals, but also to start ups, sole traders,
small business owners, medium and big businesses, and all other entities
including Partnerships, Trusts, Companies, Estates and Self Managed Super Funds.
Whether you’re a sole trader, small business or CEO to a portfolio of companies,
no matter your structure or stage in your business journey, we work closely with
you to ensure your personal and business needs aren’t just met, but exceeded.

HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?

At BIS Cosgrove, we operate on a fee for service model (not commission). Fees
can vary greatly depending on the simplicity or complexity of your needs, as
well as the scope of the advice and the services provided. We recommend speaking
with one of our expert accountants or advisors who can assess your individual
circumstances and give you a tailored quote. If you are after ongoing advice,
payment instalment solutions may also be available to you. Give us a call today
to get started!

of professional accounting expertise. Our individual team members also boast a
myriad of degrees, diplomas and certificates between them. You can meet the full
team on our About page to discover each of our team members individual
qualifications.

DO I NEED TO BE WEALTHY TO GET FINANCIAL ADVICE?

It’s a common misconception that you need to be wealthy before you start getting
financial advice, but this could not be further from the truth. In fact, it’s
never too early to start planning for your financial future. Financial advice
isn’t just about wealth management. Our advisers offer guidance on various
aspects of personal finance, including budgeting, cash flow, investing,
insurance, retirement planning, superannuation and more. We play an active role
in your strategic financial plan, to ensure it’s tailored to your individual
situation, regardless of income or assets.

HOW CAN I ENSURE MY PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION IS KEPT SECURE AND
CONFIDENTIAL WITH YOUR FIRM?

We prioritise the security and confidentiality of your personal financial
information. At BIS Cosgrove, we employ advanced encryption in transit cyber
security protocols to ensure that the transmission of your data is secure.
Whether your data is being uploaded, transferred or stored, it is safeguarded
using robust encryption methods, ensuring that is is shielded from unauthorised

financial information remains confidential and protected at all times.
