About Brown & Benson Accountants
Brown & Benson Accountants proudly supports taxpayers across
Australia through our trusted public practice accounting firm
and registered tax agency.
Unlike services that rely on automated systems or templated processes, our qualified accountants and tax consultants personally prepare each tax return, using information provided through our easy-to-use online interview form.
By maintaining our national headquarters in the regional city of Cairns, Queensland, we are able to minimise operating costs, allowing us to deliver high-quality services at competitive rates.
We are dedicated to helping Australian individuals and businesses with tailored tax and accounting solutions, carefully aligned with each client’s specific needs. Our services are delivered by a team of professionals, including registered tax agents, registered BAS agents, and staff with MBA qualifications and accounting degrees.
We are proud to have been independently certified by Compass Assurance to the internationally recognised ISO 9001 standard for quality management — a distinction achieved by only a few accounting firms across Australia.
Brown & Benson Accountants also operates under a liability limitation scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation, offering our clients an additional level of protection and confidence.
Many investors miss out on valuable deductions and often make mistakes when managing their investment property taxes. Our specialised expertise in investment property taxation ensures that your rental income and property sales are handled accurately and efficiently.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has been placing greater scrutiny on rental property owners to ensure all claims are legitimate. It’s essential to keep detailed records of your rental property deductions and to claim them correctly to maximise your refund — while avoiding any issues with the ATO.
Managing tax obligations as an Uber driver can be complex and overwhelming. Understanding your responsibilities and staying compliant from the outset is crucial.
Regardless of whether your income is below the $75,000 GST threshold, all Uber drivers are required to register for GST and lodge quarterly Business Activity Statements (BAS). We are here to support Uber drivers by simplifying their tax obligations and ensuring they meet all requirements with ease.
We specialise in assisting clients with overdue tax returns, offering a straightforward, fixed-fee service for returns dating back to the 2010 financial year. Tax returns from 2001 to 2009 can also be prepared upon request, with the same fixed pricing — no surprises, regardless of how many years you are behind.
For individual taxpayers, we utilise the ATO Tax Agent Portal to check your lodgement history and retrieve missing income records, such as lost PAYG payment summaries or group certificates for years after 2009. For business clients, we work closely with you to develop tailored solutions and guide you through the necessary steps.
Our ATO penalty remission service has successfully helped thousands of clients have their fines waived. It’s never too late to bring your tax affairs up to date, and we are here to help you resolve outstanding issues and stay in good standing with the ATO.
