Start-Up Business Support

Set your business up for success—right from the start.

At McMillans, we love working with entrepreneurs and small business founders. Starting a new venture is exciting—but it can also be overwhelming. From choosing the right structure to managing cash flow, compliance, and forecasting, there’s a lot to consider.

That’s where we come in.

Whether you’re launching your first business or turning a side hustle into something bigger, our team provides practical, tailored support to help you make smart, strategic decisions from day one.

How we support start-ups

We’re here to guide you through every step of your business journey—starting with:

Choosing the right business structure: Sole trader, partnership, trust, or company? We’ll help you select a structure that aligns with your goals, risk profile, and tax obligations.

ABN and business registrations: We’ll take care of the paperwork so you can focus on launching. That includes ABN, TFN, GST, PAYG and business name registrations.

Setting up accounting systems: Cloud-based software like Xero or MYOB can save you time and stress. We’ll recommend and implement the right system to track income, expenses, and cash flow.

Understanding tax obligations: From GST and BAS to PAYG and income tax, we’ll make sure you know what to lodge and when, so there are no surprises.

Cash flow and budgeting advice: Good financial habits start early. We’ll help you build a realistic budget, forecast cash flow, and understand your break-even point.

Mentorship and business advice: Our business advisory team can help you refine your business plan, identify funding options, and provide insights into pricing, profitability, and growth strategy.

Start strong. Grow smart.

Many of our long-term business clients started with us at the very beginning. They’ve grown with our support—and you can too.

At McMillans, you’re not just getting an accountant—you’re gaining a partner who’s invested in your success. Let’s build the right foundation today, so you’re ready for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
