Apollo Bay's local tax agent — trusted across the Great Ocean Road and beyond

Straightforward tax and accounting help for individuals and businesses, whether you're around the corner in Apollo Bay or logging in from anywhere in Australia. Tax returns, bookkeeping and BAS, and a bit of plain-English advice along the way.

Who we help

Great Ocean Advisory & Tax works with two kinds of people: locals who'd rather sit down with someone who knows the area than deal with a call centre, and clients further afield who just want a tax agent who's easy to reach and doesn't overcomplicate things. Both get the same service.

What we do

Your annual return, done properly. From a straightforward salary-and-wages return through to rental properties, crypto, and side income.

Sole traders, companies, trusts and partnerships tax returns and forward planning so there are no surprises at lodgement time.

Day-to-day bookkeeping, BAS lodgement, payroll and business coaching. The ongoing side of running a business, handled by Great Ocean Business Solutions.

Starting a Business doesn't have to be overwhelming, from the business plan to deciding what structure you should choose. We can help you getting it right from the start.
