  • Prepare and lodge Business Activity Statements (BAS) and Instalment Activity Statements (IAS).
  • Coordinate year-end accounts and income tax requirements with the external accountant.
  • Manage insurance renewals and related documentation.
  • Prepare management reports covering profit and loss, cash position, and outstanding debtors.
