Business structure reviews for growth
The structure that made sense when you started may be the same structure leaking tax, exposing assets, limiting profit extraction or making growth harder now. Elephant Advisory reviews your company, trust, sole trader or group structure with a tax accountant’s eye so you know what to keep, what to fix and what needs to change.
Led by Sam Draper
Find the tax leaks, risk gaps and structural drag before they get expensive.
TAX EFFICIENCY
We look for avoidable tax drag in your current setup, including how profits are taxed, where income lands and whether the structure still makes sense for your margins and growth plans.
RISK CONTROL
Your structure should help protect assets, reduce exposure and separate business risk where possible. We identify where liability is sitting too close to the people or assets you care about.
USE OF PROFITS
Making profit is one thing. Getting it out, reinvesting it or distributing it properly is another. We review how money moves through the structure and where friction is costing you.
SCALABILITY
A structure that worked at $200k revenue can become painful at $2m. We assess whether your setup can handle more staff, assets, entities, investors, finance or expansion.
TIMING
The worst time to fix a structure is when a lender, buyer, partner or tax bill is already forcing the conversation. We help you review early, before the options get narrower.
In short:A business structure review checks whether your company, trust, sole trader or group structure still suits you, or is leaking tax, exposing assets or limiting how you take profit. Elephant Advisory reviews structures for business owners with a tax accountant's eye.
Led by Sam Draper, Director & Head of Accounting · Chartered Accountant (CA) · Xero specialist.
What’s included
A proper tax structure review looks at more than the entity name.
We review how your business is actually operating, how money moves, where risk sits and whether the structure still supports the next stage.
Entity Structure Review
We review your current company, trust, partnership or sole trader structure and assess whether it still fits your tax position, risk profile, ownership and growth plans.
Tax Leakage Review
We look for places where the current setup may be creating avoidable tax, poor profit flow, trapped cash or inefficient distributions.
Asset Protection Check
We assess where business risk is sitting, how assets are held and whether your structure is exposing personal or business assets more than it should.
Trust and Company Advice
We review trust deeds, company roles, shareholding, directorships and related entities so the structure is not just registered, but working commercially and tax-wise.
Profit Extraction Planning
We help you understand how profits can be paid, retained, reinvested or distributed without creating unnecessary tax problems or messy accounting trails.
Restructure Roadmap
If change is needed, we map the next steps clearly. What to fix first, what can wait, what the tax impact may be and who needs to be involved.
Who it’s for
A bad structure does not usually look bad until the business starts making money.
More profit, more staff, more assets, more debt, more risk. That is when the cracks show. If your structure has not been reviewed in years, you may be carrying tax problems, liability exposure and cash flow friction you cannot see yet.
Structures we plan for
Sole traders
Partnerships
Companies
Family trusts
SMSFs
Not sure yours still fits? Business structure review
Industries we know well
Why us
If your business has changed, your structure needs to be questioned.
Most owners wait too long. They review the structure after a tax bill, a legal scare, a failed finance application or a messy exit conversation. We prefer to find the problem before it finds you.

Old structure never reviewed
Profit taxed in the wrong place
Assets sitting too close to risk
Trust or company setup unclear
No plan before growth or exit

FAQ
Business structure review questions, answered plainly.
Quick answers for business owners reviewing company structures, trusts, asset protection, tax efficiency, profit extraction and restructuring options.
Review it when profit, staff, assets, debt, ownership or risk has changed. If the business has moved on, the structure may need to move with it.
Sometimes. We look for avoidable tax drag, poor profit flow, trapped cash and inefficient distributions, then show you what is worth fixing.
Maybe. It depends on income, risk, assets, ownership and growth plans. We review the whole picture before recommending a change.
We review entity type, ownership, tax obligations, profit extraction, asset protection, records, related entities and growth fit.
No. Sometimes the smartest move is to keep the structure and fix the systems around it. We explain the cost, tax impact and risk first.
It depends on complexity. Book a chat and we will tell you what level of review makes sense before anything starts.
