The foundation

Built layer by layer — compliance to growth.

01 Compliance is the baseline

Compliance is the baseline — clarity is the advantage.

Paying your tax on time and keeping accurate records is what keeps an electrical business out of trouble and moving forward. Between BAS and tax deadlines, you need bookkeeping you can trust to manage cash flow, understand profitability, and make informed decisions.

  • Returns & financial statements prepared accurately and lodged on time, every year
  • Everything you're entitled to claim, claimed — tools, vehicles, equipment, home office
  • Your structure reviewed, so you're not paying more tax than the law requires
  • Obligations dealt with as they fall due — not three landing at once
02 Financials that show the real position

More than a return lodged once a year.

Good accounting is knowing what your business actually earned, what it owes, and whether the structure around it is working in your favour. Get that right, and growth becomes a decision rather than a gamble. That's why our Standard package includes reactive support all year — any question, big or small, you get a straight answer without worrying about being billed for the call. We also handle ATO correspondence on your behalf, so those letters land with us, not in your inbox.

  • Year-end accounts that show your true profit — not just a figure that satisfies the ATO
  • Statements a bank or lender will accept when you go looking for finance or equipment
  • A clear view of where your money went, and what you have left to work with
03 Why accurate bookkeeping matters

Know exactly where you stand, day to day.

Bookkeeping isn't just data entry to keep your accountant happy. It's knowing how your business is really doing and having the confidence to make decisions day to day. When your books are accurate and up to date, you always know where you stand — which is what gives you the clarity to plan ahead. Whether you're using Xero or moving across from another system, having accurate records throughout the year is what makes everything else — from tax lodgements to growth planning — work properly.

  • Keep clean, accurate records without chasing paperwork after the fact
  • Track spending and avoid unexpected tax surprises
  • Make better decisions with financial information you can trust
  • Spend less time on admin and more time running your business
04 Accounting that supports growth

Growth becomes a decision, not a gamble.

Once your tax and financials are solid, the next step is planning. Our higher-level packages include tax planning before 30 June — while there's still time to act — and our Virtual CFO service takes those numbers further into forecasting, pricing and growth strategy. The goal isn't just a lodged return; it's electrical businesses that know their numbers and can make decisions from a position of strength.

How we work & who it's for

Dependable systems, built around your business.

We start by learning how your business currently handles bookkeeping and tax. From there we set up dependable systems that keep everything running smoothly all year, organise your records, and keep your compliance current. As you grow, those same foundations make strategic advice through our Virtual CFO service easy to add whenever you need it.

01

Reliable support, no hassle

For electricians and established trade businesses that want dependable accounting and tax support without the hassle.

02

On top of BAS & payroll

For businesses that need help staying on top of BAS, payroll and compliance, quarter after quarter.

03

Outgrown the DIY stage

For owners who've outgrown managing everything themselves and want accurate numbers that support growth.

If you're looking for strategic guidance around cash flow, pricing, job margins and profitability, our Virtual CFO service builds on this strong financial foundation.

Good questions

Accounting & bookkeeping, answered.

We specialise in electrical businesses, but we're also happy to work with businesses from other industries that are the right fit.

Yes. We'll help you get back on course and stay there. No matter how far behind you are or how big the backlog, we'll work through everything with you and make the process as simple as we can — the goal is to get everything up to date and keep your business moving forward.

Absolutely. We use industry best practice and secure cloud-based technology to protect your financial information. Your data is handled in strict confidence, and we take every precaution to keep it accurate, safe, and available whenever you need it.

No. The two work well together — good numbers make for better advice — but you can engage us for Virtual CFO on its own if your bookkeeping is already in decent shape. Plenty of clients start with bookkeeping and compliance, then step up to advisory once their numbers are reliable.

Fixed monthly fees, agreed upfront. We have three packages; the difference between them is how much support you want across the year, not how much work we do at tax time:

  • Essential — covers your compliance. Accounts and returns prepared and lodged on time, nothing more.
  • Standard — adds reactive support. Ring or email us whenever something comes up during the year, and we deal with the ATO on your behalf.
  • Proactive — for businesses that want us in their corner all year: regular scheduled meetings, tax planning before year-end, and priority turnaround.

All three are a set monthly amount, agreed before we start — so you know what you're paying and there are no surprise invoices.

Not too small — as long as you're heading somewhere. Our Foundation package is built as a starting point for sole traders and new businesses, covering the compliance basics while you get going. It's designed to be grown out of, usually within the first year or two, as you take on your first apprentice and start needing real visibility over your numbers. If you're happy running as a one-person band and just need a return lodged each year, a lower-cost option will serve you better.

This is where most electricians get caught out. Your accounts can show a profit while individual jobs are losing money. We set your bookkeeping up so income and costs are tracked by job — which means you can see your real margin per job instead of guessing.

Tax compliance, yes — our Compliance package covers your BAS, tax returns, other lodgements and ATO obligations as a standalone service, no bookkeeping required. Bookkeeping works a little differently: we only offer it alongside tax compliance or our vCFO packages. If we're keeping your books, we want to be lodging off the back of them too, so nothing gets lost in translation between a bookkeeper and an accountant who aren't talking to each other.

Client results

Our biggest asset is a satisfied client.

Real client results will be published here once available and cleared for use — for example, catching up months of backlog in weeks, or BAS lodged on time, every quarter, for the first time.

Proof

Electricians who stopped guessing.

Luke goes well beyond just handling our tax. He gives us clarity around the more complex financial decisions, explains the detail in a practical way and provides an additional layer of advice alongside our internal management team. His understanding of electrical businesses makes the advice particularly valuable.
★★★★★ Andrew Map Electrics
Luke has been a big part of getting CPW Electrical through several major changes in the business. We've been through both downsizing and upsizing, and he's helped us work out the right move each time, with a close eye on profitability along the way. His reassurance and guidance through all of it has been invaluable. Having someone who knows the numbers and the trade in your corner makes all the difference.
★★★★★ Chris CPW Electrical Pty Ltd
We've got a great management accountant in-house who looks after our day-to-day numbers. What we needed was someone to sit above that, and that's where Luke comes in. He works alongside our team on the complexity of tax planning and general business advice, so we're making the right calls well before year end rather than finding out after the fact. It's a different level of advice from what we can get internally, and it's given us real confidence in our decisions. If you're a bigger business that already has a finance person but wants strategic advice on top, I'd recommend Luke.
★★★★★ Sean D & T Refrigeration
Being with Allure has given me the confidence to price jobs correctly and know where the business stands, so I can focus on running jobs and growing the business.
★★★★★ Carl Priore Electrical
Having someone in my corner every month changed everything. We've grown, and the big decisions feel a lot less like guesswork.
★★★★★ Matthew Electrical business owner
