EARNT

ACCOUNTING | BOOKKEEPING

a short list of what we’re about.

  1. We are a digitally-minded accounting and bookkeeping practice based between the New England and Newcastle areas, though we serve clients from across the state and the country.

  2. We help business owners by delivering in three key areas: professional bookkeeping > compliance the easy way > proactive tax planning. See our Services page for details.

  3. While we work digitally, we like to communicate in the real world. That means getting to know the people we work with. Whatever you need, give us a call. We’ll do the same.

“I started out in a country office helping business owners with bookkeeping, accounting, and tax advisory, primarily working with those in the construction industry.

Seeking a change, I then worked in Newcastle, helping individuals and small business owners obtain home loans and asset finance, rounding out my tax experience with practical lending knowledge.

More recently, I’ve also started working with larger organisations, focusing on internal reporting and bringing another skillset to my clients.

I wear T-shirts whenever possible, like good company and cheap travel, and believe that an accountant should do more than tally up last year’s figures. I’m interested in next year’s problems, and helping you solve them.”

What our clients say.

  • "Angus helped us get our loan across the line after the banks had made numerous errors. It was so nice dealing with someone who understands business and goes that extra mile" - Anna and Mathew Crittenden, Le Salon

    When deciding to sell their family home and move out of town into something with a little more space, Anna and Mat came up against challenges with the banks, as many business owners do when seeking home-loan approval.

    At the root of the problem was a recent change in business structure, as well as a government mandated shut-down period that had skewed the financial reports. Small business financials and operating structures seem to mystify the lending teams at certain banks…

    Working together we were able to find a bank with suitable policy, liaise with the lending team to work through the details, and reach formal loan approval in time for Anna and Mat to purchase their new home. Success.

  • "Great service. Angus is very knowledgeable and personable and great at what he does. I have recommended him to all my friends. Will use again. Thanks Angus!" - Jeanette Line

    Even with simple tax affairs there is opportunity to save if you know what to look for.

    Jeanette owns a rental property in Newcastle NSW, and when going over the property numbers we immediately noticed that a depreciation schedule was never drawn up.

    These schedules let you claim a portion of building costs each year, however because this is only a ‘book figure’, some property investors miss it.

    After organising a property inspection, the extra deduction in year 1 alone covered the cost of the valuer, and we were even able to amend the prior year return to pick up the missed deduction. Money for jam.

  • “I’ve been with Earnt from the very beginning of running my own business. Throughout this time Angus has been extremely knowledgeable and has helped me grow from my backyard shed to a brand-new salon in town. His services make life a little less stressful knowing everything is done correctly and thoroughly. I could not recommend Angus more.” - Meg Reynolds, Via Rey Beauty

    Meg opened her salon doors for the first time back in 2018. She’s achieved a lot since then – from working out of the garage to renovating her salon in a commercial space, developing her own product line, creating an online store, and building a team of staff, to name a few.

    During this time we’ve worked together to establish a neat Xero bookkeeping system with EFTPOS and inventory integration, do some proactive tax planning, and design a commission structure for employees, with plenty more in between, and plenty more still to come.
