Accounting that's
always ahead.
Most people experience accounting as a once-a-year event — you gather documents, submit them to someone, and wait for the bill. At AGS Accounting, our approach is different. We are proactive partners: monitoring your position throughout the year, flagging opportunities and risks before they become problems, and coordinating with your financial planner so your tax strategy and wealth strategy are always aligned.

— The AGS difference
Your accountant
talks to your planner.
At most firms, your accountant does the tax return and your financial planner does the strategy — and the two rarely speak. That means your tax strategy isn't feeding your investment decisions, and your investment decisions aren't being structured for tax efficiency. At AGS, your accountant and financial planner are on the same team. Every year-end becomes an opportunity to align your tax position with your broader wealth strategy.

questions.
Or email us directly at accounting@agsfinancialgroup.com.au.
Do you do personal tax returns as well as business?
Yes — we handle individual tax returns, investment income, rental properties, capital gains and more. Whether you're an employee, investor, sole trader or business owner, we can manage your tax affairs.
Do you use Xero?
Yes. AGS Accounting is a Xero Gold Partner. We use Xero for bookkeeping clients, and can help you migrate to Xero from other platforms. It provides real-time visibility of your business finances and integrates cleanly with our reporting processes.
Can my accountant and financial planner work together at AGS?
Yes — and this is one of AGS's core strengths. Your accountant and financial planner are on the same team and communicate regularly. This means your tax minimisation strategy is informed by your investment strategy, and vice versa. It's how integrated financial management is supposed to work.
What if I already have a financial planner or mortgage broker I want to keep?
That's no problem. You can engage AGS purely for your accounting and tax work and keep your existing financial planner or broker — we'll coordinate with them directly (with your permission) so the advice still works together. Many clients start this way and decide later whether they want to consolidate further.
Do you handle SMSF accounting?
Yes. Our accounting team works closely with AGS's SMSF advisers — so your fund's annual accounts, tax return and compliance are handled by accountants who understand the fund's strategy. See our SMSF page for more detail.
What size businesses do you work with?
We work with businesses across a wide range of sizes — from sole traders and startups through to private companies with significant turnover. Our team has experience across building & construction, professional services, hospitality, retail and many other sectors.
