Crest Accountants has advised Gold Coast businesses since 1973. For companies in and around Burleigh Heads, that means an established firm with the depth to handle the technical, compliance-heavy side of running a business, not just a tax return at year end. We act for businesses across the Gold Coast and around Australia, so you get specialist expertise that grows with you rather than a one-person shopfront.
Monday – Thursday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Friday: 8:00 AM – 1:30 PM
Most of what a growing business needs sits under one roof, and we focus on the technical, compliance-driven work that keeps you right with the ATO. That starts with business tax returns for sole traders, partnerships, trusts and companies, and the ongoing compliance that surrounds them: BAS and GST, bookkeeping and payroll, and fringe benefits tax. From there we help you get the foundations right with business structuring and asset protection, and keep the numbers working through corporate accounting, cash flow forecasting and a virtual CFO service for businesses that want senior financial input without a full-time hire. We also look after self-managed super fund compliance for business owners, and guide you through the bigger moments with startup and succession planning.
A generalist can lodge a return. What sets us apart is dedicated experience in the industries that drive the local economy. We act for trade and construction businesses managing QBCC reporting and uneven project cash flow, hospitality operators working tight margins and complex wages, medical and allied health practices with layered income and structuring needs, manufacturers, ecommerce and online retailers, child care operators, professional services firms, property developers, and international businesses with cross-border obligations. Matching the right specialist to your industry is the difference between basic compliance and genuine advice.

Longevity is the short answer. We have advised Gold Coast businesses since 1973, through more property cycles, tax changes and downturns than most firms have seen. Depth is the longer one. We cover everything from BAS and business tax through to structuring, SMSF and succession planning, so your accounting keeps pace as your business grows, and we explain things in plain English rather than jargon.
Behind Crest is a team of senior accountants and advisors led by a hands-on principal and accounting manager. You can meet the team here.
No. We work with businesses by phone, email and video, and our cloud accounting means your file is accessible wherever you are. If you would prefer to meet, that can be arranged.
No. Many of our clients are based around Burleigh Heads and the wider Gold Coast, but we act for businesses across Queensland and around Australia. Good accounting advice depends on your circumstances, not your postcode.
It depends on the work. A business tax return and BAS is a different engagement from ongoing business accounting with payroll, or a self-managed super fund. Get in touch with a short description of what your business needs and we can scope it for you.
Yes, and it is simpler than most businesses expect. With your authority we collect your records and prior returns from your existing accountant, review where things stand, and pick up from there. A mid-year switch is routine, especially with tax planning before 30 June in mind.
