Family day care tax services

Helping you focus on the kids, not the paperwork

I’ve previously run a family day care myself, so I understand the ins and outs of the industry — from the paperwork to the unique tax rules. After stepping back due to an injury, I now focus on supporting other educators with their bookkeeping, BAS, and tax returns, making sure you get the help you need without the stress.

  • BAS lodgments

    Keeping up with BAS can be overwhelming, especially when running a busy family day care. We take care of the preparation and lodgement, making sure your records are accurate and deadlines are met so you can stay stress-free and compliant.

  • Tax Returns

    Family day care comes with unique tax rules and deductions. We prepare and lodge your tax return under the supervision of a registered tax agent, helping you maximise your claims while staying compliant with the ATO.

  • Advice & Support

    From claiming home-based expenses to understanding what records to keep, we provide tailored advice for family day care educators. With ongoing support throughout the year, you’ll always know where you stand financially.
