Do I really need an accountant or can I do my own tax?

You can lodge yourself via myGov for free, suitable for simple PAYG returns with no investments. However, an experienced accountant typically identifies $300-$2,000 in legitimate deductions you'd miss DIY — usually more than their fee. Use an accountant if you have: investment property, share/crypto trading, multiple jobs, sole trader/contractor income, business income, capital gains, salary sacrifice/novated leasing, or work-related expenses over $300. The peace of mind and audit support is also valuable.

How do I find a good accountant for my small business?

Look for: CPA or CA membership (gold standard), tax agent registration with TPB (verify at tpb.gov.au), 5+ years experience in your industry, Xero or MYOB certified (depending on your software), transparent fixed-fee pricing rather than hourly billing, year-round availability not just tax time, willingness to provide proactive advice. Get 2-3 quotes before deciding. Check Google reviews, ask other small business owners in your industry, avoid accountants who only respond at EOFY.
