financial reporting & complianceFinancial Reporting & Compliance
our expertise
Although not directly an estate asset, many people establish private companies, family trusts and self-managed superannuation funds to hold and develop their personal wealth. Frequently these structures contain historical issues that will need to be addressed as part of an administration, that require both a development of an overall strategy and working through either winding up or transferring control of these structures.
Our team has years of experience in advising on these sorts of complex structural issues. We are also able to assist executors with the preparation of annual financial reports and income tax returns. Executors take comfort in appointing an independent specialist accountant to historically assess and then process these entities.
COMPANIES & TRUSTS
Although not a direct estate asset, increasingly people run a business or hold passive assets in private companies and trusts which will need to be attended to as part of the estate administration process.
