Our Specialist Accounting Services
for Mechanical Businesses
Tax Returns & Compliance
We prepare and lodge all business tax returns, ensuring accuracy and maximum deductions. We identify claimable expenses specific to mechanics — such as tools, uniforms, parts, consumables, diagnostic equipment, and work vehicles.
Bookkeeping & Payroll
We handle your bookkeeping, payroll, and superannuation obligations so you can focus on servicing customers. Using cloud-based software like Xero and MYOB, we keep your books current, manage PAYG withholding, and ensure your staff are paid correctly and on time.
Business Structuring & Setup
Starting a new mechanical business or expanding your workshop? We’ll help establish the most tax-effective and protective business structure — whether that’s a company, trust, or partnership — and handle all registrations including ABN, GST, and business name setup.
Cash Flow Management & Forecasting
We help mechanics maintain consistent cash flow, even during quieter periods. Our team builds financial forecasts and cash flow reports to help you budget for upcoming expenses like parts orders, wages, and tax payments.
Stock & Equipment Management
Workshops often carry large inventories of parts and tools. We’ll help you track, value, and manage stock accurately while ensuring you’re claiming depreciation correctly on machinery, lifts, and equipment.
Business Advisory & Growth
Our business advisors help mechanical workshops improve efficiency and profitability. We’ll review pricing models, workshop operations, and margins — identifying opportunities to reduce costs and boost profits.
Vehicle & Equipment Finance
We assist with financing for vehicles, lifts, and workshop machinery — structuring loans to optimise tax benefits while improving cash flow and operational efficiency.
BAS, GST & ATO Reporting
We manage all BAS lodgements, GST reconciliations, and ATO reporting. You’ll always be compliant and up to date with your obligations.
Superannuation & Wealth Planning
Through Bottrell Wealth, we help business owners and independent mechanics manage their superannuation, SMSF setup, and long-term wealth creation strategies.
