    Hi Elisey,

    I’ve used Matt Toohey in Drumoyne/Norwest for years now. He took over from his father a few years ago. I initially used him for small business tax and now I’ve got him onborad with my IP. http://www.tooheyassociates.com.au

    Hi Folks,

    While we are on the topic of good accountants – just a quick question as to their charging mechanism. Do you folks get charged higher for having more IPs or does your accountant provide a flat fee structure provided you have set item of works required? If you don’t mind – what sort of rates are you folks paying and how often do you catch-up with your accountant?

    Lastly, is it a major pain to change over to a new accountant? What steps are required to ensure no loss of information occurs in the event of changing to a new accountant?

    Regards,
    NM7

    Currently I’m only in the process in acquring my first IP so I would also be interested to know if there will be more charges for more IP’s. I usually see my account 1 or 2 times a year. Once for tax and once for anything else. Tax return is about 350 for my small business & I doubt he will charge more now that I have an IP. I’m pretty sure it’s a flat fee but could be wrong!

    I’d say it could be a hassle changing over accountants. My accountant has done my tax for the last 8 years since it started getting a little bit complicated. He has all my depreciation schedules on my assets. So he updates those details every year he does my tax. Not sure if he would just hand all that over, but it is my information so maybe…

    Its not hard really changing over accountant, your old accountant will generally provide all previous tax returns, financials, trust deeds etc to new accountant, pretty basic really.

    Cost wise some will just charge an hourly rate, others will have some sort of fixed rate (e.g. $150 for a basic personal ITR, +$50 for rental properties etc etc. )

    Hi Gents,

    Apart from Kamper & associates and Matt Toohey recommended above, can someone recommend a great accountant (Preferably him/herself is a property investor too) in Sydney area (Prefer Sydney, but other city / State is ok) to provide advise to my case:

    1. Newbie to property investment
    2. Currently 3 IPs. Buy and hold with no complicated issue at the moment.
    3. Margin loan with share portpolio
    4. Fulltime employee

    Thanks

    Was recommended the following accountant in Sydney by a fellow investor. Sounds like the accountant has a sizable property portfolio herself.

    Keshab Pty LTD
    Munzurul A Khan
    (02) 9633 5511

    Anybody else here use them?

    I have heard good things about the Azure Group. As well as Grant Thornton. Not sure if that helps you out any or not. But, those are two that I have not seen mentioned yet.

    Excellent, these info. are at least a good starting point. I think I will talk to at least 3 accountant mentioned above and select the one who I am comfortable with.

    Thanks
