Fletcher Tax is one of our newest groovy accounting firms and they certainly seem to live up to the title. Their website is full of information and they
even offer a free newsletter. To find out more about this Sydney-based accounting firm, read on...
Penny, a long time friend of Freelance Success, has recommended her own accountant Janna from Fletcher Tax as being
truly groovy. When we first chatted to Janna she said that lots of her clients are from the arts, and that "I think they rock at
what they do and I love seeing them grow and prosper." Hear hear!

Do you have much experience working with creative freelancers?
Yes, I have several creative freelancers on my books and enjoy working with all of them.

Do you specialise in any particular creative or freelance/small business areas?
No particular specialty but have a number of artists and writers at present.

What do you think is the ideal relationship that a freelancer can have with his or her accountant?
I always set out to promote an open door policy where the freelancers actively seek out advice as and when required, as well as
feel secure and certain when it comes to their financial dealings.

Are you able to inform your clients and help them with:
Establishing the differences between being a hobbyist and being a business?
Setting up and managing GST responsibilities?
Managing PAYG instalments?
Deductions specific to their field?
Tax averaging for special professionals?
The Entrepreneurs Tax Offset?
Non-Commercial Loss from the Arts?
Definitely, all of the above.

Would you like to say anything to freelancers who might be looking for a new accountant?
Go with an accountant you can understand, afford and provides you with the answers that you need.

How much do you charge?
Depends on what is involved and how the freelancer accounts for their business activity. As a guide, a sole trader return is
usually charged out around the $4-500 + GST mark. For all other services and charges, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks Janna! Fletcher Tax Accountants can be found at .
