Specialised business tax accountant

North Advisory specialises in tax accountancy and business advisory for small—to medium-sized businesses. The director and business advisor, Marius Fourie, leads a team of financial professionals dedicated to their clients’ financial health and growth strategies.

“As a business tax accountant and advisory professional, I’ve seen firsthand the impact expert financial management has on a business’s success. The web of tax regulations, financial planning, and compliance requirements can overwhelm any business owner. That’s where a financial and business professional like myself comes in. We are more than number crunchers. We are a strategic partner dedicated to your business’s financial health”. Says Marius

A compelling advantage of having a specialised business tax accountant is developing tax strategies uniquely tailored to your business. No two businesses are alike, and cookie-cutter approaches to tax planning can often leave money on the table. By understanding the nuances of your industry, financial structure, and long-term goals, North Advisory can devise tax strategies that minimise liabilities while ensuring compliance with all relevant laws.

A comprehensive approach

“Financial management is more than keeping the books. It’s about making informed decisions that drive growth, profitability, and sustainability. This includes everything from cash flow management to financial forecasting, helping you confidently navigate challenges and opportunities”. Says Marius

Tax laws and regulations constantly evolve; staying ahead of these changes is crucial for any business. Accessing a business tax accountant and advisor ensures you stay informed about regulatory updates and that your business adapts quickly, avoiding potential pitfalls and penalties.

While tax and financial management are at the core of North Advisory’s services, we also act as an experienced business advisor. We offer clients insights that can help shape their strategic decisions. Whether it’s evaluating the financial impact of a potential investment, optimising a capital structure, or planning for succession, North Advisory provides the expertise needed to make informed choices.

“We are more than number-crunchers. We are a strategic partner dedicated to your business’s financial health.”

About the author

Marius Fourie - Director & Business Advisor

As Director and Business Advisor, Marius uses his accounting expertise and empathetic skills to work directly with business owners and help them feel at ease with their finances.

Marius saw a common need in clients that just wasn’t being met by accounting providers.

That need was for clear, open communication and streamlined accounting services that didn’t come padded out with any unnecessary features.

Business owners just don’t have time to compare different accounting firms to see which one has the best packages with the best inclusions (many of which they would pay for but never use).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is tax minimisation?

Tax minimisation focuses on legally reducing the amount of tax you pay in the current financial year. This usually involves claiming eligible deductions, offsets and concessions available under Australian tax law.

What is tax optimisation?

Tax optimisation takes a longer-term, strategic approach. It looks beyond this year’s tax bill and considers how your business structure, investments and income strategy can work together to achieve better tax outcomes over time.

Is tax minimisation the same as tax avoidance?

No. Tax minimisation is legal and complies with Australian tax laws. Tax avoidance involves aggressive or artificial arrangements designed to sidestep tax obligations and can attract ATO penalties.

Which approach is better for businesses?

Most businesses benefit from a combination of both. Tax minimisation helps manage cash flow in the present, while tax optimisation supports sustainable growth, asset protection, and long-term wealth creation.

When should I consider tax optimisation instead of minimisation?

Tax optimisation becomes more important as your income grows, your business becomes more complex, or you start planning for succession, retirement or investments.

Why should I hire a specialised business tax accountant instead of a general accountant?

A specialised business tax accountant helps you go beyond basic compliance by developing tax strategies tailored to your specific business, rather than using a “one-size-fits-all” approach. North Advisory explains that by understanding your industry, structure, and long-term goals, they can help minimise tax liabilities while staying fully compliant, and provide broader advisory support like forecasting, investment decisions, and succession planning.

Changed to this company in 2019 from former accountant and love their approach of organizing everything for me face to face with Xero set up plus being able to call as much as I need for set annual fee. They also picked up on something that was not done correctly by my former accountant and saved me $4k for this.
