Got an ATO letter? Do not open it without us.
Audit representation, voluntary disclosures, Director Penalty Notices, and payment arrangements. Whatever the ATO is asking, we answer.
Three reasons our clients stay.
We’re a boutique accounting practice built on long-term client relationships, offering personalised tax, accounting, and advisory services to businesses and organisations across Sydney.
Twenty-three years in practice as of 2026. Same firm, same principal, same standards since 2003. Some clients have been with us almost the whole way. The work compounds, and so does the trust. Over four hundred SMSFs managed and thousands of tax returns lodged.
Tax, books, advisory, SMSF, Xero. One team that knows your business. No handoffs between firms, no missed details between specialists, no questions you have to answer twice. Numbers flow cleanly from books to BAS to tax return because the same people are looking at all of them.
We are old-fashioned about this. You get a name, a direct line, and someone who actually knows your file. We watch for trends, flag issues before they become fines, and call when something needs attention. Most clients hear from us between quarters, not just at lodgement time.
An ATO letter sitting on your desk.
The envelope arrives. Or the email. Or the text from your accountant saying the ATO has been in touch about the 2022 return. Suddenly something signed off three years ago is back, with questions, and the response window is short.
You ring your accountant. They say they will look at it. A week later, a half-answer comes back with a quote for the work. Maybe they handle the matter, maybe they refer you out. Either way, it is now expensive, stressful, and on the clock.
ATO matters resolve faster, with much less penalty exposure, when the responder has done it before. Audit work is the same technical work as preparing a return, just in reverse, under deadline pressure, with the ATO on the other side. Trinity has handled hundreds over twenty-three years; the work is repetitive, and the experience compounds.
Everything that goes into the response.
Audit representation, voluntary disclosures, Director Penalty Notices, and payment arrangements. Whatever the ATO is asking, we answer. Most matters resolve without escalating, but the work is the same whether they do or do not.
What hundreds of audits buys you.
Less time on admin. Cleaner records. Better decisions because the numbers are current.
From the letter to a closed file.
Same process for every new engagement. You know what is happening and when.
We read the ATO correspondence, pull the relevant returns and working files, and assess exposure within forty-eight hours.
Detailed response prepared, supporting documentation compiled, draft sent to you before submission.
We stay on the matter through the ATO’s review, any back-and-forth, and final closure.
People we take on at the ATO.
If you see your situation below, we have done this work before. If you do not, ask anyway.
A small firm by design.
Trinity Accounting Practice opened in Beverly Hills in 2003. Ramy Hanna, a registered tax agent and Fellow of three Australian accounting institutes, has run it since. The firm has stayed deliberately small, deliberately local, and deliberately senior. The principal you talk to today is the principal who will be reviewing your return next October.
Most of our work comes from referrals. Most clients have been with us for years, some for decades. We think that says more about the work than any award would.
The reviews speak for themselves.
Sole traders, growing companies, and trustees who keep coming back. Here’s why.
Doesn't cut corners
I'm so glad I found Ramy & Kim from Trinity Accounting. They have helped me and my business tremendously. They really care about their clients and don't cut corners. Very impressed with their knowledge and level of customer service.

The best, hands down
Ramy is the best accountant in Sydney. He helped me solve my problems. He is the best. I really thank you Ramy for everything.
Medical practice expertise
I have a medical practice. I met with many accountants before, but I found Ramy Hanna has a very well organised accounting practice and he is very knowledgeable and has great experience.
A real lifesaver
Trinity Accounting has been a lifesaver for my construction business. Ramy's knowledge of BAS, GST, and tax is unmatched. Great service and support!
ATO audit questions, calmly answered.
An ATO query is stressful enough without unanswered questions about the response. Here is what clients ask first.
ATO matters are quoted up front based on scope and urgency. Routine queries start around $500. Complex audits or DPN responses are quoted as a fixed fee after initial review.
Send it to us before you respond. Many ATO letters have specific procedural requirements where the response shape matters as much as the content. Forty-eight hours to triage is enough for almost any matter.
Often. Penalty remission is available where there is reasonable cause, voluntary disclosure, or the matter resolves quickly. We have remission requests built into most of our responses.
A DPN makes the company director personally liable for unpaid PAYG, GST, or super. Twenty-one days from issue to respond. The wrong response or no response makes the liability personal and unrecoverable.
Yes. We can act as audit specialist alongside your regular accountant. Most matters resolve cleanly when one practice handles compliance and another handles the audit.
We negotiate payment arrangements with the ATO. Most arrangements run six to twenty-four months, depending on amount and circumstances. The ATO is much more reasonable than people assume, when approached properly.
