Business Accounting
Australian tax planning that helps you keep more of what you earn.
Most business owners find out their tax bill when it is already too late to do anything about it. We help businesses forecast tax early, reduce it legally, and make the right moves before 30 June.
Led by Sam Draper
A tax plan is not a guess. It is a profit-protection strategy.
FORECAST THE BILL EARLY
We estimate your tax position before year-end using real numbers, not vibes, so you know what is coming and can act while there is still time.
MINIMISE TAX LEGALLY
We identify legitimate deductions, timing opportunities, incentives and planning moves that can reduce your tax without playing games with the ATO.
STRUCTURE FOR THE FUTURE
Company, trust and business structures can change what you pay and how protected you are. We review whether your setup still fits your profit, risk and growth plans.
IMPLEMENT BEFORE 30 JUNE
Advice only works if it happens in time. We turn planning into clear actions before the financial year closes, then review it regularly as the business changes.
In short:Tax planning means forecasting your tax before 30 June and making legal moves early enough to reduce it. Elephant Advisory helps Melbourne business owners plan their tax during the year, not after it.
Led by Sam Draper, Director & Head of Accounting · Chartered Accountant (CA) · Xero specialist.
What’s included
The tax moves that matter are made before the deadline.
Here is what proactive Australian tax planning looks like when it is done properly.
Tax Forecasting
We estimate your likely tax payable before year end using current results, prior-year data and projected profit — so the bill never arrives as a shock.
Tax Minimisation Strategy
We review deductions, timing, incentives and entity-level strategies to reduce tax legally before 30 June, not after the opportunity has passed.
Business Structure Reviews
Your company, trust or sole trader setup should match your income, risk and growth. We review whether your structure is still tax-effective.
Superannuation Planning
We assess concessional contributions, contribution caps and timing so business owners can use super strategically without creating compliance issues.
Asset & Expense Planning
We help time deductible expenses, asset purchases and available write-offs so cash flow, tax outcomes and business priorities work together.
Year-Round Reviews
Tax planning is not a once-a-year meeting. We review your position during the year so profit changes do not turn into tax surprises.
Who it’s for
Paying too much tax is not bad luck. It is usually bad timing.
If you wait until tax time, most of the best strategies are already gone. Real tax planning happens before the bill lands — while there is still time to change the outcome.
Structures we plan for
Sole traders
Partnerships
Companies
Family trusts
SMSFs

Australian tax planning questions, answered plainly.
Quick answers for business owners searching for tax minimisation, tax planning and business tax advice in Melbourne and across Australia.
The earlier the better. While many strategies are implemented in the months leading up to June 30, good tax planning happens all year round. Waiting until tax time limits your options significantly.
Yes, in most cases the tax saved far outweighs the cost of the service. Beyond the savings, it gives you visibility over your liability so you are never caught off guard by a bill you cannot pay.
Common strategies include bringing forward deductible expenses, delaying invoices until after June 30, making personal super contributions, utilising the instant asset write-off, and reviewing and writing off bad debts before year end. The right mix depends on your business and structure.
A tax plan can be included in your monthly or annual accounting fees. Get in touch for a price tailored to your business and we will be upfront about costs before any work begins.
Compliance is about meeting your obligations correctly and on time. Planning is about being proactive throughout the year to reduce what those obligations actually cost you. Both matter, and we handle both.
Absolutely. Your structure has a direct impact on how much tax you pay. As part of our tax planning process we review whether your current setup is as tax-effective as it could be and make recommendations where changes would benefit you.
