Key Personnel:
Scott Andrews CPA – Chief Executive Officer
Scott Andrews founded the firm in 1999. He holds a degree in Commerce and is a Certified Practising Accountant with a specialisation in taxation.
In 2010 Scott was elected by his peers to the position of Regional Chairman (FNQ Branch) of CPA Australia, which covered a group of many hundreds of members. CPA Australia advised that Scott was the youngest person appointed to the position in CPA Australia history.
The appointment to this role opened many doors professionally and during 2010 Scott was asked to represent CPA Australia numerous times, at professional shows, awards, conferences, television, local newspaper and online media presentations.
At the same time Queensland was suffering from devastating natural disasters and Scott was appointed by the Queensland Government as a business consultant to assist with getting Queensland businesses back on track. In particular, the Jobs Assist Program was predominantly aimed at assisting businesses with 10 or more staff to improve financially through mentoring, coaching and consulting. Scott assisted dozens of businesses in Cairns, Townsville and the South East Queensland area in this program and was one of the most sought after consultants in Queensland.
Later in 2010, Scott decided to pursue growth of the taxsmart® business through franchising and established the business quickly as a network of qualified accountants via the franchise system.

Many businesses still do not fully appreciate that bookkeeping and accounting go hand-in-hand.
We treat your regular bookkeeping as an integrated part of our accounting services that functions more efficiently when it is combined with our comprehensive accounting knowledge.
If your bookkeeping is not carried out by your accountant, it should at least be carried out with their professional guidance and regular “health-checks”.
Many clients go to their accountants with books from their chosen bookkeeper that are: ♦ Incomplete, not properly reconciled and out of date – causing delays with yearly tax accounting;
♦ Unorganised and hard to decipher for yearly accounting;
♦ Inaccurate – potentially creating errors in yearly account reporting.
This can put the business at a very high risk as there is often no professional review of the accounts for up to nearly two years until the annual accounts can be finalised.
Regular checks by your taxsmart® accountant ensure that all key indicators are reviewed and matters that can lead to severe damage to, if not total destruction of, the business are picked up and action is taken in a timely manner.
Opportunities to build on and improve business performance can also be better identified through regular reviews so they can be taken advantage of before it is “too late”.
If your accounts are not regularly reviewed, your accountant must spend extra time (and your money) on deciphering the information, before finalising your yearly accounts.
And your taxsmart® accountant is fully experienced to save you more money by working with you through the MYOB AccountRight Live environment – a new era in client-accountant collaboration.
Our experienced accountants are Australia-wide, with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Cairns and Gold Coast. Call us on 1800 829 272.
We would be delighted to meet with you to determine how you can save money and be put at less risk by making best use of our expert accounting services.
