I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kshitij not only as a client but also as a friend — and I can confidently say he brings the same level of care, integrity, and professionalism to both roles. His attention to detail, clear communication, and ability to simplify complex financial matters have been incredibly helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose Tax Mode as my registered tax agent in Melbourne instead of self-lodging?

Lodging through Tax Mode guarantees that every legal deduction, work-related expense, and business offset is fully realized under ATO compliance. As a registered tax agent in Melbourne, Tax Mode shields you from costly reporting mistakes and audit penalties, while giving you access to extended ATO lodgement deadlines well past the standard October 31 deadline.

What small business accounting and bookkeeping services does Tax Mode provide?

Tax Mode provides end-to-end accounting support tailored for Australian small businesses, sole traders, and startups:
Bookkeeping & Payroll: Day-to-day transaction reconciliations, Single Touch Payroll (STP Phase 2), and superannuation clearing.
BAS & GST Lodgement: Flawless Business Activity Statement preparation and on-time quarterly submissions.
Annual Financials & Tax Returns: Complete statutory reporting for companies (Pty Ltd), trusts, and partnerships.
Strategic Advisory: Ongoing cash flow forecasting, budget tracking, and tax minimisation planning.

Does Tax Mode handle both personal tax returns and complex company tax returns?

Yes. Tax Mode manages tax lodgements across all entity structures in Melbourne and Australia-wide:
Individual & Personal Returns: Salary deductions, rental property schedules, crypto gains, capital gains tax (CGT), and foreign income.
Sole Trader & Startup Filings: Home office deductions, PSI assessments, and simplified depreciation.
Company & Trust Tax Returns: Small business tax rates, franking account reconciliations, trust distributions, and dividend statements.
Partnership Returns: Net income allocations and partner distribution schedules.

How does Tax Mode's proactive tax planning differ from standard year-end tax lodgement?

Standard tax filing simply records historical financial data after the financial year ends. Tax Mode's tax planning services are forward-looking: before June 30, our tax advisors evaluate your earnings, cash flow, and asset purchases to implement legal tax minimisation strategies—such as timing deductions, maximizing super contributions, and restructuring income streams before tax liability is locked in.

Can Tax Mode assist with startup setup and business structure advice in Australia?

Yes. The structure you choose directly impacts your personal liability, asset protection, and tax rate. Tax Mode advises founders on selecting the right vehicle—whether a Sole Trader, Proprietary Limited Company (Pty Ltd), Discretionary Family Trust, or Unit Trust. We also manage full setup logistics including ABN, ACN, TFN, and GST registrations with the ATO and ASIC.

Does Tax Mode manage Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) accounting and compliance?

Yes. Tax Mode provides complete SMSF accounting and annual compliance services. We prepare member contribution statements, track fund asset valuations and capital gains, draft annual financial reports, lodge the SMSF annual return (SAR), and coordinate independent audits to ensure total SIS Act compliance.

How does Tax Mode prevent ATO penalties with BAS preparation and GST accounting?

Late lodgements or inaccurate GST calculations trigger immediate ATO failure-to-lodge penalties and interest charges. Tax Mode automates and reviews your monthly or quarterly accounts using software like Xero and MYOB, ensuring that GST credits, PAYG withholding, and PAYG installments reconcile perfectly before submitting your BAS.
