Corporate Compliance

As an Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Registered Agent we are able to help companies and their officeholders to understand their rights and responsibilities as well as assisting them in complying with their obligations under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Management Reporting

Working closely with small business is our passion.

At PTAM we believe that regular engagement with our clients lets us better understand their business and the reasons why they do what they do.

For those clients who understand the importance of staying on track, we can meet with you, monthly or quarterly and prepare management reports to help identify opportunities and threats before they happen. We want you to have control over your business and to be able to make decisions based on real time results.

Benchmarking

Small business benchmarks are a guide to help businesses compare their performance against similar businesses in an industry.

The Australian Taxation Office compile the benchmarks from information reported by businesses on their income tax returns and activity statements. Benchmarks account for businesses with different turnover ranges (up to $15 million) across more than 100 industries.

We can  provide a quarterly analysis of where your business sits in relation to these benchmarks. It is important to know how your business is performing in relation to your competitors.

Succession Planning

Every business owner reaches a point when they need to think about what happens next. What happens once they step back from the business? Will the business continue? Who will run the business and in what form?

The how, who and when are all part of the business life cycle. We can help you plan for the business succession, whenever that may be so it will be as seamless and as profitable as possible.

Strategic Planning

At PTAM we believe that it is important to take time to discuss the big picture. Where is the business heading? How is it going to get there? What needs to happen now to ensure that the business goals are achieved?

Businesses have a lot of moving parts, there are often competing agendas and limited resources so it is difficult to get everything moving in unison.

For those clients who want to ensure that everyone is on the same page and moving in the same direction, we offer a strategic planning session with all the individuals key to the businesses success sitting at the same table. We can provide the forum for your accountants, management team, key personnel, banker, financial advisor and solicitor to participate in a meeting to ensure that all goals are aligned and that all the moving parts are moving in the right direction.

Performance Reviews

Performance reviews are an essential ingredient in managing a workforce, big or small.

PTAM can help your business in this important and often delicate task. We can meet with your employees and ask the things you would like to know in a neutral setting.

We can then compile the results and report back to our clients for further discussion and analysis. We can assist you with the compilation of employment reviews and work with you and your employees as you see fit.
