FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions.
What’s the difference between a tax accountant and a business accountant?
Tax accountants focus on end-of-year tax returns. Business accountants (like GRIT) take a broader, more strategic role helping you structure your business, manage compliance, plan for growth, and make informed decisions. We still do tax returns, but we also advise on strategy, pricing, payroll, and cash flow. You’ll get more than just a one-off service. You’ll get long-term support.
Do you work with sole traders?
Yes and we help them grow. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to transition to a company or trust structure, we’ll guide you through every step. From ABN registration to quarterly BAS and tax planning, we help sole traders build something sustainable.
Can you help if my books are a mess?
Absolutely. We’ve seen it all. Whether you’re behind on BAS, payroll, or haven’t reconciled in months, our team will clean up your records, bring everything into compliance, and put better systems in place going forward. No judgment. Just practical help.
Is GRIT only for Brisbane businesses?
We’re based in Brisbane and work closely with local small businesses — but we also support clients across QLD and interstate. Most of our work is cloud-based, so we can collaborate wherever you are.
