Free Strategy Consultation for Business Owners in Melbourne
Every growing business reaches a point where the numbers alone aren’t enough – you need a plan. A One Accountants offers a free strategy consultation for business owners across Melbourne and the CBD who want honest, practical advice on tax planning, structuring, cash flow, and growth before committing to any paid engagement. There’s no obligation and no hard sell – just a genuine conversation with a qualified accountant about where your business stands and where it could go.
What Happens in Your Free Strategy Consultation?
Your free consultation is a 30-45 minute session (in person at our Melbourne CBD office, over the phone, or via video call) where we:
- Review your current business structure (sole trader, company, trust, or partnership) and whether it’s still the right fit as you grow
- Identify tax planning opportunities you may be missing before the next BAS or tax return deadline
- Discuss cash flow, budgeting, and forecasting so you can make decisions with real numbers, not guesswork
- Flag any compliance risks (ATO audit triggers, late lodgments) before they become expensive problems
- Give you a clear, written summary of recommended next steps – whether you engage us or not
Who Is This Free Consultation For?
We regularly meet with sole traders, small business owners, property investors, medical and legal professionals, and tradies who want a second opinion on their current accounting setup, or who are switching accountants and want to know what’s realistic before they commit. If you’re starting a new business, considering a company or trust structure, or simply haven’t reviewed your tax strategy in a while, this session is designed for you.
Why A One Accountants?
We’ve processed more than 20,000 tax returns and worked with over 5,000 clients across Melbourne over more than a decade. Our team includes registered tax agents who work across individual tax, company and trust tax returns, bookkeeping, and business advisory – so whatever direction your business takes, we can support it directly rather than referring you elsewhere.
Common Topics We Cover in a Free Strategy Session
No two businesses are the same, so no two consultations look identical. That said, the topics that come up most often include: choosing between a company, trust, or sole trader structure as revenue grows; understanding which tax deductions and concessions actually apply to your industry; preparing for an ATO audit or responding to a late lodgment notice; and building a simple cash flow forecast so you’re not caught off guard by BAS or PAYG instalments. Whatever is keeping you up at night about your finances, bring it – that’s exactly what this session is for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the strategy consultation really free, with no obligation?
Yes. There is no charge for the initial consultation and no obligation to engage us afterwards. We provide the session because we’d rather you make an informed decision than a rushed one.
How long does the consultation take?
Most sessions run 30-45 minutes, depending on the complexity of your business and how many questions you bring. We can extend this if needed for more complex business structures (e.g. multiple entities).
What should I bring to my free consultation?
Ideally your most recent tax return, a rough summary of your business structure, and any specific questions or pain points (e.g. cash flow issues, an ATO notice, or a decision you’re weighing up). If you don’t have these on hand, that’s fine – we can still have a useful conversation.
Can I do this consultation online or over the phone?
Yes. We offer the free strategy consultation in person at our Melbourne CBD office, by phone, or via video call – whichever is easiest for you.
Do you only work with businesses, or can individuals book this too?
While this session is most popular with business owners, individuals with more complex tax situations (investment properties, share trading, or foreign income) are welcome to book a free consultation as well.
