Local Accountant Sydney: Trusted Small Business Accounting Across South Sydney and the Inner West
Finding an accountant who knows your suburb, understands your industry, and is available when you need them makes a genuine difference to a small business. Generic online accounting services are convenient until something goes wrong, a question needs a fast answer, or you need advice tailored to your specific situation — not a call centre script.
Trinity Accounting Practice has operated from Beverly Hills in Sydney's St George area since 2003. Our clients are small business owners, trades, investors, medical and healthcare practices, childcare operators, pharmacy owners, and families managing their finances across Sydney's south and inner west.
We offer full accounting, tax, bookkeeping, BAS, payroll, and advisory services — including after-hours and weekend appointments — from our office at 159 Stoney Creek Road Beverly Hills NSW 2209.
This page explains what we do, who we serve, and why local accounting expertise makes a difference for businesses in the suburbs we cover.
Why a Local Accountant Makes a Difference
A local accountant brings more than technical knowledge. They bring context — an understanding of the NSW business environment, the pressures specific to your industry and area, and the ability to meet with you directly when a conversation is easier than an email chain.
For Sydney small business owners, that context includes knowledge of NSW payroll tax thresholds and exemptions, the Workers Compensation requirements for NSW employers, the local council business registration and food safety requirements that vary across LGAs, the grant programs available to businesses in specific areas, and the specific ATO compliance expectations for industries common to south and inner west Sydney — construction, hospitality, childcare, medical, and retail.
At Trinity, you work with qualified professionals who know your numbers and are reachable when you need them — not a rotating team of staff you have never met.
Our principal, Ramy Hanna, holds Fellow memberships with the IPA, TIA, and NTAA and is a Registered Tax Agent and Certified Xero Advisor. Trinity has operated continuously for over 22 years.
Areas We Serve Across Sydney
St George and Canterbury-Bankstown
Beverly Hills and Roselands
Our office is based in Beverly Hills. We work with a wide range of local businesses including sole traders, professional service firms, and property investors in Beverly Hills, Roselands, and surrounding streets. Clients here include service-based businesses, landlords with investment properties in the area, and small retailers. We provide full tax, bookkeeping, BAS, and advisory services with the convenience of a local office.
Bankstown
Bankstown is one of Sydney's most active small business hubs, with a strong mix of trades, food businesses, healthcare providers, and retail operators. Businesses here commonly need help with BAS lodgement and GST compliance, payroll for casual and award-rate staff, PAYG instalment management, and year-end tax planning. We set up Xero for Bankstown business owners so they have real-time visibility over their cash position rather than waiting for end-of-month summaries.
Campsie and Lakemba
Medical clinics, pharmacies, restaurants, and convenience stores in Campsie and Lakemba rely on accurate GST treatment and timely super payments. These businesses often deal with mixed GST supplies — some taxable, some GST-free — which requires careful BAS preparation to avoid ATO errors. Our team handles end-of-year reconciliation, depreciation schedules, and quarterly BAS compliance for operators in these suburbs.
Panania and Revesby
Family-owned businesses and sole traders in Panania and Revesby frequently come to us when their bookkeeping has fallen behind or their BAS position is unclear. We bring records up to date, implement automated bookkeeping through Xero, and set up monthly reporting so business owners always know where they stand.
Peakhurst, Lugarno, and Mortdale
Tradies, builders, and home-service operators in Peakhurst and Lugarno make up a significant part of our construction and trades client base. We provide job costing, subcontractor TPAR management, payroll, and BAS preparation tailored to the construction industry's specific needs.
Greenacre and Canterbury
Growing family businesses in Greenacre and Canterbury often need structure advice as their revenue increases. Sole traders reaching the point where a company or trust structure makes sense, and family businesses looking to distribute income more tax-effectively, come to us for a review of their options and a clear recommendation.
Earlwood and Bardwell Valley
Professional services firms and small retailers in Earlwood and Bardwell Valley rely on us for annual tax returns, budget forecasting, and ASIC compliance for companies. We support business owners who want proactive tax planning — not just lodgement — and regular reporting to track performance.
Sutherland Shire and Southern Suburbs
Miranda and Caringbah
Miranda and Caringbah host a diverse mix of construction businesses, medical and allied health practices, childcare centres, and retail operators. We work with these businesses on BAS lodgement, payroll compliance, and VCFO reporting for those that need monthly management accounts. Our childcare accounting team supports childcare operators in this area with CCS interactions, Education Award payroll, and grant accounting.
Sutherland
Tradies and home-service providers in Sutherland experience seasonal cash flow variation that requires careful planning. We manage BAS preparation, PAYG instalment strategies, and year-end tax reviews that account for the seasonal patterns typical in construction and maintenance trades. .
Cronulla
Cronulla's hospitality, surf retail, and tourism operators often need specialist cash flow planning given the seasonal nature of their income. Summer trade can be strong and winter very quiet. We help Cronulla business owners build cash reserves during peak periods, plan BAS obligations against seasonal income, and manage year-end positions that reflect the trading cycle.
Engadine and Heathcote
Small businesses and sole traders further into the Shire, including home-based operators and tradespeople, come to us for ABN setup, GST registration guidance, and quarterly BAS support.
Inner West Sydney
Marrickville and Dulwich Hill
Marrickville's creative industries, cafés, and contractors represent a growing part of our inner west client base. Many Marrickville business owners are first-time employers who need proper payroll setup — including super guarantee compliance, STP lodgement, and award rate verification — before they can grow their team confidently. We implement Xero, automate receipt capture, and ensure quarterly BAS obligations are handled correctly from the start. See the ATO's guidance on super for employers for the key obligations.
Ashfield and Burwood
Professional and retail clients in Ashfield and Burwood value straightforward guidance on company tax planning, director responsibilities, and ASIC compliance. Businesses here often have one or two working directors, family shareholders, and relatively simple structures that nonetheless require proper annual lodgement and review to remain compliant.
Strathfield and Concord
Medical practices, specialist consulting firms, and professional service providers in Strathfield and Concord benefit from our specialist knowledge in healthcare accounting and practice structure. PSI rules, service entity arrangements, and trust distribution planning are all relevant to this client group. We also provide payroll and super compliance for practice employees and VCFO services for practices that want monthly financial oversight.
Homebush and North Strathfield
Start-ups and small importers in Homebush and North Strathfield often come to us for initial structure advice, ABN and GST registration support, and inventory-related BAS guidance. Getting these foundations right from the first year of trading prevents the compliance problems that accumulate when the basics are not in place.

Tax returns and BAS lodgement: We prepare and lodge annual income tax returns for sole traders, companies, trusts, and partnerships, and quarterly BAS for all GST-registered businesses.

Supporting New Businesses Across Sydney's Suburbs
Starting a business in Sydney involves more than registering a name and opening a bank account. The tax and compliance requirements from day one include ABN and GST registration, payroll and super setup if you employ staff, Xero or accounting software configuration, quarterly BAS lodgement obligations, and record-keeping requirements under ATO guidelines.
For many new business owners across our service area, the first year is when the most avoidable mistakes are made — incorrect GST registrations, missed super obligations, wrong business structure choices that are costly to unwind later. We work with new businesses at the setup stage to ensure these foundations are correct from the start.
How to Switch to Trinity Accounting Practice
Switching accountants is simpler than most business owners expect. The process involves contacting our office to discuss your needs and current situation, authorising the transfer of your ATO agent nomination to Trinity, providing your previous accountant's details so we can request your records, and our team handling the Xero setup or migration and reviewing your current tax position.
You do not need to wait until the end of the financial year to switch. We can take over at any point and ensure continuity of BAS lodgement, payroll, and tax reporting with no gap in compliance.
