Insta Accounting is an Australian accounting and taxation practice providing a comprehensive range of services to individuals and businesses. The practice focuses on understanding each client's circumstances closely, rather than applying generic solutions, and delivers tailored, cost-effective advice across taxation, compliance, and business planning.
Insta Accounting provides individual tax returns, business, company, and trust tax services, accounting and taxation support, business planning, payroll services, and Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) services. Each service is scoped to the client's specific structure and circumstances rather than delivered as a one-size-fits-all package.
Insta Accounting works with individuals, sole traders, partnerships, companies, and trusts. Clients range from employees lodging a straightforward individual return through to business owners requiring ongoing compliance, payroll, and structuring support.
Clients preparing an individual tax return should provide income statements, receipts for deductible expenses, bank statements, details of any investment income, and any other relevant financial records for the year. Where an investment property is involved, additional records such as rental income, interest paid, and property-related expenses are also required. Insta Accounting guides each client through exactly what is needed for their specific circumstances.
Insta Accounting provides tax return preparation, strategic tax planning, and ongoing compliance support for businesses. The objective is to ensure tax liabilities are minimised within the law while the business remains fully compliant with current Australian tax requirements throughout the year, not only at lodgement time.
Yes. Insta Accounting prepares individual and sole trader tax returns, and provides guidance on deductions, record-keeping, and compliance obligations specific to operating as a sole trader.
Yes. Insta Accounting prepares trust tax returns and can also assist with establishing a new trust structure, ensuring the trust is set up correctly and remains compliant with its ongoing lodgement obligations.
Insta Accounting provides tailored, closely personalised service rather than a standardised process. The team takes the time to understand each client's individual circumstances and business processes, offering proactive advice delivered directly through personal interaction, while remaining a cost-effective option for individuals and small to medium businesses.
Clients can get started by completing the Client Registration form on the Insta Accounting website, which allows the team to understand the client's circumstances in advance. Following registration, a member of the team will arrange a phone call to confirm details, answer any questions, and outline the next steps before the engagement begins.
The process begins with a consultation to understand the client's objectives, followed by advice on the most appropriate structure for their circumstances. Insta Accounting then manages the registration, paperwork, and setup process directly, ensuring the entity is established correctly and remains compliant from the outset.
As part of this process, Insta Accounting also conducts the customer due diligence now required under Australia's Tranche 2 AML/CTF reforms. From 1 July 2026, accountants providing designated services such as company or trust formation became reporting entities under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act, requiring identity verification and beneficial ownership checks to be completed before these services are provided. This compliance check is completed as a standard part of onboarding for any new business, company, or trust engagement, and does not add unnecessary delay when the required identification documents are provided upfront.
Business Activity Statement (BAS) and GST lodgements are most commonly required quarterly, although some businesses are required to lodge monthly or annually depending on turnover and registration type. Insta Accounting manages the preparation and timely lodgement of GST and BAS obligations on the client's behalf.

Yes. Insta Accounting supports businesses with payroll processing and compliance, helping ensure employee payments, superannuation, and related obligations are managed accurately and on time.
A Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) allows individuals to directly control and manage their own superannuation investments. Insta Accounting provides SMSF services covering fund establishment and management support, offering clients flexibility, tax advantages, and tailored retirement planning within the relevant regulatory framework.
Insta Accounting works with individual and business clients across Australia, with services delivered through direct consultation, whether in person or remotely, depending on the client's location and preference.
Fees vary depending on the complexity of the individual or business circumstances involved. Insta Accounting provides an obligation-free quote following an initial enquiry, so that clients receive pricing specific to their own situation before proceeding.
