ATHENA

Accounting Services

Running a business is demanding enough without worrying about tax deadlines, BAS lodgements, ASIC obligations and ATO correspondence.

At Athena, we take that burden off your shoulders so you can focus on running and growing your business. We prepare financial statements and income tax returns for companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals, lodge your BAS and IAS, and ensure your registrations and compliance obligations are always up to date. Our aim is simple: to keep things organised, ensure nothing falls through the cracks, and give you confidence that your affairs are being managed properly.

Bookkeeping

Good business decisions rely on accurate, up-to-date financial information. When your books are current, you have a clear picture of how your business is performing throughout the year.

Athena manages your bookkeeping using cloud accounting platforms such as Xero, keeping your financial information live, accessible and ready when you need it. We can assist with bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll, superannuation, and all the day-to-day tasks that keep your business running smoothly. Because your bookkeeping flows seamlessly into your BAS and year-end accounts, you'll benefit from less duplication, fewer surprises and a more efficient compliance process.

Whether you want to outsource your entire bookkeeping function or simply need support for your existing team, we'll tailor a solution that works for you — freeing up your time to focus on your clients and your business.

Property Investors

Property remains one of the most popular ways Australians build long-term wealth, but it can also be an area where costly mistakes are easily made.

At Athena, we work with property investors at every stage of their journey — from first-time investors purchasing their first rental property through to experienced investors managing substantial portfolios. We ensure you're claiming all available deductions, including depreciation and capital works allowances, and help you understand how negative or positive gearing impacts your overall financial position, including the new legislation. Before you buy, sell or restructure, we can model potential capital gains tax outcomes.

Importantly, we don't just advise on property from a technical perspective — we are property investors ourselves. This practical experience allows us to provide advice that is grounded in real-world experience, not just legislation and theory.

Finance Broking

Choosing the right finance structure can have a significant impact on your long-term wealth creation strategy.

At Athena, we take a holistic approach to lending because the same team advising on your tax and investment strategy also understands your borrowing needs. This means your loan structure is considered alongside your broader financial objectives, rather than in isolation. We work with a broad panel of lenders to help arrange finance for investment property purchases, refinancing, equity release and business lending. From the initial enquiry through to settlement, we manage the process on your behalf and guide you every step of the way.

By bringing together accounting, taxation and finance advice under one roof, we help ensure every part of your financial strategy is working together to support your long-term goals.
