Partner oversight and senior advisory support throughout the relationship.
Welcome, Vitor.
Thank you for the opportunity to work with your business.
Following our discussions, we have prepared four levels of ongoing support for Good Mates Removals Pty Ltd.
The objective is to give you a clear choice around how much accounting, tax and advisory support you would like from PRATT Partners as the business continues to develop.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist and look forward to building a long-term and productive relationship with you.
Senior oversight. A team behind you.
Responsible for coordinating the day-to-day accounting and compliance aspects of the engagement.
What we heard.
The opportunity is not simply to prepare tax returns. It is to create greater confidence around the business, its structure, compliance obligations and the decisions being made as it grows.
Structure
Consider whether the current company structure and asset ownership arrangements remain appropriate as the business develops.
Contractors
Consider material contractor, superannuation, payroll-related and other compliance risks requiring attention.
Protection
Improve visibility over business risks, insurance and areas where specialist advice may assist.
Performance
Better understand margins, cash flow, operating costs and other financial pressures as the business grows.
Tax
Move from addressing tax only after year end to considering material issues earlier where the selected service level provides for this.
Confidence
Establish a relationship with clear scope, greater visibility and access to appropriate support when important matters arise.
This reflects our preliminary understanding from our discussions. Specific advice will depend on the relevant facts, applicable law and the final agreed scope.

Clear scope. Clear responsibilities.
Engagement term
The formal engagement will commence in accordance with the engagement documentation accepted by you and will apply to the services and periods identified in that documentation.
Earlier periods or services outside the agreed scope are not included unless expressly agreed.
If there is a material change to the business, ownership, structure, scope of services or applicable requirements, the engagement and fees may need to be reviewed.
Important engagement assumptions
The quoted fees and scope are based on the information presently available to us and assume that there are no material or unusual transactions or circumstances of which we have not been made aware.
We also assume that accounting records supplied to us are reasonably complete, accurate and reconciled, except where maintaining those records is expressly included in our scope.
Requested information and approvals should be provided within a reasonable timeframe so that we have sufficient time to attend to applicable reporting and lodgement obligations.
If the actual circumstances materially differ from these assumptions, we will discuss any additional work and associated fees before undertaking material work outside the agreed scope where practicable.
AML/CTF & Know Your Customer requirements
We are required to comply with applicable anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws and professional obligations.
As part of onboarding and, where required, during the engagement, we may need to verify identity and obtain information concerning the business, ownership, controllers and beneficial owners.
Verification may be completed electronically using third-party identity verification providers, government or other reliable data sources, and may require supporting documents or additional information.
We may also be required to undertake ongoing customer due diligence and update information when circumstances change. If sufficient information cannot be obtained or verified, we may be unable to commence or continue the relevant services.
Bookkeeping & payroll support
Where required, we can separately scope ongoing bookkeeping and payroll support, including transaction coding, bank and credit-card reconciliations, payroll processing, STP reporting and maintenance of accounting records.
The scope and fee will depend on transaction volumes, number of accounts, payroll requirements and the condition of the existing accounting records.
Annual fee review
Fees may be reviewed annually having regard to CPI, changes in scope, complexity, transaction volume, service requirements and other relevant circumstances.
Disbursements, subscriptions & third-party costs
A 5% disbursement charge applies to our professional fees together with applicable subscriptions and third-party expenses incurred or paid on your behalf, including Xero subscriptions where applicable.
ASIC statutory fees and other government charges are not included unless expressly stated.
Work outside scope & hourly rates
Work outside the agreed package or a separately agreed fixed-fee engagement may be charged at our applicable hourly rates.
Where practicable, we will discuss material additional work with you before proceeding.
Matters requiring separate scope
Material restructuring, legal documentation, detailed asset-protection advice, historical remediation, substantial bookkeeping correction, ATO audits and reviews, objections, valuations and specialist tax advice are separately scoped unless expressly included.
Specialist referrals
Where specialist advice is appropriate, we may introduce an external professional. The external adviser acts under their own engagement and remains responsible for their advice and services.
Appropriate authority will be obtained before confidential client information is provided to an external adviser, except where disclosure is otherwise required or permitted by law.
Where disclosure of any referral fee, commission or other material benefit is required under applicable professional or ethical requirements, that disclosure will be made.
Client responsibilities
Our work will rely on information, records and explanations provided by you and information otherwise available to us.
You remain responsible for providing complete, accurate and timely information relevant to the services.
You should advise us promptly if you become aware of information that may materially affect the advice or services we are providing.
Records & working papers
In the course of the engagement, we may prepare working papers, calculations and notes to support the services provided and our professional obligations.
Our working papers remain the property of PRATT Partners and may be retained in accordance with our record-keeping obligations and internal quality-control requirements.
Original records provided by you remain your property. Where appropriate, copies may be retained for our client files and professional record-keeping requirements.
Conflicts of interest
You should notify us if you become aware of an actual or potential conflict of interest relevant to our engagement.
We are also subject to professional obligations concerning independence, objectivity, confidentiality and conflicts of interest and will manage identified conflicts in accordance with those obligations.
Our professional obligations
Our services are subject to applicable law and relevant professional and ethical standards, including obligations concerning integrity, objectivity, confidentiality and compliance with laws and regulations.
Nothing in the engagement limits an obligation imposed on us by law or an applicable professional standard.
No audit or assurance
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, preparation of financial statements, tax returns and related work does not constitute an audit or review and no audit or assurance opinion is expressed.
Dispute resolution
If a concern or dispute arises, we will seek to resolve it directly with you in good faith.
Any formal dispute-resolution process applicable to the engagement will be governed by the terms contained in PRATT Partners' formal engagement documentation.
