Tax Planning

Proactive tax strategy, not year-end damage control.

A tax plan that runs all year, not just at EOFY. We review structures, time deductions, and find concessions you might be missing.

Certified across the platforms that matter

Why Trinity

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.

  • Longevity that compounds

    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.

  • Everything under one roof

    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 pick up the phone

    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.

Planning problems

Tax planning that starts in May.

EOFY approaches. Your accountant rings about a ‘tax planning meeting’. Two weeks before 30 June. You go in, they suggest a few quick deductions, maybe a super contribution. You sign something, write a cheque, and call it tax planning.

Six months later, the return shows the same tax bill as last year. Structure unchanged. Distribution mix identical. The CGT on that share sale you made in November went exactly as it would have if nobody had thought about it. The ‘planning’ was a tidy-up, not a plan.

Real tax planning is not a meeting; it is a year. Decisions made in July compound into October’s return. Concessions get identified before they apply, not after. Trinity builds tax planning into the year as a quarterly cadence rather than a single pre-EOFY conversation.

  • Last-minute planning

    Two weeks before 30 June, three quick suggestions, done. Decisions that needed nine months never properly considered.
  • Same return, different year

    Tax bill returns unchanged. Structure unchanged. Distributions unchanged. Last year's settings, year after year.
  • Concessions overlooked

    Small business CGT, R&D, division 7A, asset write-off thresholds. Reliefs that needed forward planning, missed because nothing was forward.
  • Reactive, not strategic

    Tax happens to you, then you respond. The number is whatever the year produced.
What you actually need is a tax plan that runs all twelve months.

Planning outcomes

Forward planning, year on year.

Less time on admin. Cleaner records. Better decisions because the numbers are current.

  • Year-round cadence

    Quarterly tax position updates, mid-year review, pre-EOFY decisions in March or April. Built into the engagement, not extra.
  • Forward-looking decisions

    Sale of an asset, change of structure, addition of an entity, retirement timing. We model the tax impact before the decision, not after.
  • Concessions captured

    Small business CGT, super contribution caps, loss carry-back, R&D, asset write-off. The reliefs you actually qualify for get applied.
  • Compounds over years

    First year is good. Second year is better. By year three, the tax position is materially different to where it would have been. The work compounds.
  • Modelled before decided

    Asset sales, structural changes, distribution shifts all modelled in advance. Tax outcome known before you commit.
  • Documented audit trail

    Every recommendation written down, every decision logged, every assumption explained. If the ATO asks years later, the file is already there.

Planning cadence

A review, a plan, a year of execution.

Same process for every new engagement. You know what is happening and when.

  • Tax position review

    We map your current position, structures, and history. Identify what is working and what is leaving money on the table.

    • Three-year retrospective of returns and effective tax rates
    • Structure review across all entities and beneficial ownership
    • Identify concessions claimed, missed, or underutilised
    • Forward calendar of decisions and trigger events
  • Plan and decisions

    Quarterly check-ins, mid-year review, and pre-EOFY recommendations documented and signed off.

    • Quarterly position update and recommendation memo
    • Mid-year review against budget and forecast
    • Pre-EOFY decision pack with options and consequences modelled
    • All decisions documented with audit trail
  • Implementation and review

    We execute the agreed actions through the year, then review against actuals at year-end.

    • Distribution resolutions and minutes prepared on time
    • Asset disposals timed and structured for CGT efficiency
    • Super contributions, prepayments, and write-offs actioned before deadline
    • Year-end review of plan vs actual outcome

Who plans with us

Clients we plan with year-round.

If you see your situation below, we have done this work before. If you do not, ask anyway.

  • Profitable small business owners

    Turning over enough that tax is a real number. The point where one accountant, one return starts costing more than it saves.
  • Multi-entity groups

    Distributions, structures, intercompany flows. Where the group's tax position is bigger than any one return.
  • Property and share investors

    CGT events, depreciation timing, structure decisions. Asset disposals worth getting right.
  • Owners approaching exit

    Selling the business in the next two to five years. The decisions today set the tax bill on the way out.

About Trinity Accounting

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.

Planning questions

Common questions about tax planning.

Tax planning has its own rhythm and its own jargon. Here are the questions clients ask before they engage.

Tax planning is built into our ongoing advisory engagements rather than billed as a one-off. Typical engagements run between $500 and $2,500 per quarter depending on complexity.

Yesterday. The next best time is now. Decisions made in July compound across the financial year. The shortest meaningful engagement is six months.

We do, but we are honest that one meeting before EOFY rarely changes the outcome much. Most of the lever-pulling has to happen earlier.

Most common ones we surface in the first review: small business CGT concessions, instant asset write-off, super contribution caps, division 7A, loss carry-back, R&D tax incentive. Most clients have at least one underused.

Yes, sometimes. If your current accountant handles compliance and you want strategic tax planning alongside, we can co-engage. If they are also doing planning, it is usually cleaner to consolidate.

Compliance is backwards-looking, preparing returns from what already happened. Tax planning is forward-looking, making decisions now that affect what gets recorded later. Both matter; most firms only do the first.
