42 Advisory delivers CPA-qualified accounting, tax, and business advisory services to individuals and businesses across Oakleigh and Melbourne's south-east. Whether you operate a family business on Eaton Mall, run a medical practice near Oakleigh station, or manage a growing company in the City of Monash, our team provides fixed-fee support tailored to your circumstances.

Our Oakleigh accounting services cover annual financial statements, company and trust tax returns, individual and sole trader returns, BAS and GST lodgement, payroll processing, and cloud bookkeeping. We also advise on business structuring, tax planning, and strategic growth — all under a transparent pricing model with no hidden charges.

As a registered CPA practice, we work with businesses of all sizes — from sole traders and contractors to established enterprises across Oakleigh, Clayton, Huntingdale, and surrounding suburbs. Our Chadstone office also supports clients throughout the broader south-east corridor. 

Effective tax planning starts with understanding your full financial position. At 42 Advisory, we review your income sources, entity structure, and deduction opportunities to identify lawful strategies that reduce your overall tax liability. Our tax services are built around proactive planning, not just year-end compliance.

For Oakleigh residents and business owners, common tax-saving strategies include salary packaging, timing of asset purchases, negative gearing optimisation for property investors, and restructuring through companies or trusts where appropriate. We also assist with capital gains tax planning, Division 7A compliance, and small business CGT concessions under the ITAA 1997.

Every strategy we recommend is tested against Part IVA anti-avoidance provisions and current ATO guidance. Our approach is conservative, compliant, and designed for long-term benefit — not short-term shortcuts.

If you are registered for GST or required to lodge Business Activity Statements, accurate and timely BAS reporting is essential to avoid ATO penalties and interest charges. 42 Advisory provides registered BAS agent services for Oakleigh businesses, covering quarterly and monthly BAS preparation, GST reconciliation, PAYG withholding, PAYG instalments, and IAS lodgement.

We integrate directly with Xero and other cloud accounting platforms, which means your BAS data is reconciled in real time. For Oakleigh retailers, hospitality operators, and service businesses along Eaton Mall and Atherton Road, this ensures your obligations are met accurately and on schedule every quarter.

Beyond compliance, 42 Advisory provides business advisory services that help Oakleigh business owners make better financial decisions. Our advisory work covers cash flow forecasting, budgeting and scenario analysis, entity structuring, succession planning, and growth strategy.

Oakleigh's commercial precinct supports a diverse range of industries — from food and hospitality to healthcare, professional services, and retail. We tailor our advisory approach to your industry and growth stage, whether you are launching a new venture or preparing an established business for sale. Clients in nearby Carnegie and Bentleigh also access these services through our practice. 

Oakleigh and the broader City of Monash remain active areas for residential and commercial property investment. 42 Advisory assists property investors with rental income reporting, depreciation schedule coordination, negative gearing strategy, CGT event planning, and loan structure reviews.

We also advise on the tax implications of property held in trusts, companies, or self-managed super funds. Whether you hold a single investment property in Oakleigh or a portfolio spanning Clayton, Huntingdale, and Mount Waverley, our team ensures your property tax affairs are structured for maximum efficiency within current legislation.

Choosing a CPA accountant with local knowledge means you work with a team that understands Oakleigh's business environment, the City of Monash regulatory context, and the economic drivers shaping Melbourne's south-east. 42 Advisory combines this local insight with the technical depth of a registered CPA practice.

All services are delivered under fixed-fee pricing with no surprise invoices. We provide year-round access to your accountant — not just at tax time — and use cloud-based systems for efficient, paperless collaboration. Whether you are a family business on Portman Street, a medical professional near Monash Medical Centre, or an investor across the Oakleigh corridor, our small business accounting services are built around practical outcomes and long-term value.
