42 Advisory provides comprehensive accounting services for Bentleigh residents and businesses. This includes annual financial statement preparation, management accounts, bookkeeping oversight, payroll processing, and company secretarial compliance. For small businesses along Centre Road and the broader Bentleigh commercial precinct, we manage everything from initial business registration and ABN setup through to monthly reporting and year-end tax compliance. Our approach is advisory-first — we interpret your numbers and explain what they mean for your business, not just lodge paperwork.

A CPA accountant who understands your financial situation can identify lawful strategies to reduce your tax liability. For Bentleigh’s working professionals and dual-income families, we review salary packaging options, work-related deduction claims, investment income structures, and superannuation contribution strategies. For property investors in Glen Eira, we prepare tax returns that capture every allowable deduction including depreciation, interest, repairs, and capital gains tax planning. Every recommendation is grounded in current ATO guidance and ITAA 1997 provisions.

If you run a business in Bentleigh, you likely need to lodge Business Activity Statements with the ATO. 42 Advisory is a registered BAS agent and handles BAS and GST compliance for Bentleigh businesses, including GST reporting, PAYG withholding, PAYG instalments, and instalment activity statements. We also resolve overdue lodgements, negotiate ATO payment plans, and implement bookkeeping systems that keep your obligations current. Accurate BAS lodgement reduces penalty exposure and gives you real-time visibility over your cash position.

Bentleigh’s business community includes retail operators, healthcare practitioners, tradies, professional consultants, and hospitality venues. Each faces unique financial challenges — from managing contractor payments to structuring a practice for asset protection. 42 Advisory provides business advisory services that include entity structuring reviews, profit improvement analysis, budgeting and cash flow forecasting, and succession planning. We help business owners move beyond compliance into strategic decision-making that supports sustainable growth.

Glen Eira remains one of Melbourne’s most sought-after investment corridors, with Bentleigh offering strong capital growth and consistent rental yields. 42 Advisory supports local property investors with investment property tax returns, depreciation schedule management, negative gearing calculations, land tax compliance, and CGT planning on disposal. We also advise on the most appropriate ownership structure — personal name, family trust, company, or SMSF — based on your income, borrowing capacity, and long-term wealth strategy.

Choosing a CPA accountant who understands Bentleigh means working with someone familiar with the local business environment — from the independent retailers along Centre Road to the professional services firms and medical practices throughout Glen Eira. 42 Advisory serves clients across Melbourne’s south-east, including Caulfield, Carnegie, and Oakleigh. We operate on transparent fixed-fee pricing, use cloud-based systems including Xero and MYOB, and assign a dedicated CPA advisor to every client. No surprises, no jargon, and no offshore processing.
