Hi, I'm Ruth, Director of JAR Accounting & Taxation.

I’ve spent over 30 years in tax and accounting (20 of those in public practice) helping individuals and small businesses make confident decisions with their money.

With experience in the UK, USA and Australia, I specialise in cross-border and international tax to make the complex simple, wherever life takes you.

I love building long-term relationships with clients and being there through every season, from first jobs to retirement, and everything in between.

Still on the fence about whether you need a tax agent this year? Let us make it easy for you 🍃

Complexity sorted: If your income isn't just wages (think rentals, shares, crypto, a side hustle or ABN work) there are a lot of moving parts. We make sure everything is handled correctly, nothing is missed and you're not accidentally under or over-declaring income.

We save you time: Tax is time-consuming even when it's straightforward. If you're busy, overwhelmed or just not sure where to start, hand it over to us. That's literally what we're here for.

Peace of mind: No second-guessing yourself at 11:05pm wondering if you claimed the right thing. No stress about ATO letters. We know the rules, we stay up to date on everything, so you don't have to.

We often pay for ourselves: We regularly uncover deductions our clients didn't know they could claim, which means the savings on your return can often be more than our fee. In our opinion, it's worth a conversation for that alone!

Not sure if you need help this year? Just call us 07 5211 0313 or shoot us an email [email protected]. We're happy to have a no-pressure chat and figure it out together!

Hearing this from our clients honestly never gets old!

When Dane says we simplified complex financial concepts for him, that's exactly what we set out to do every single day.

Tax and accounting can feel overwhelming. We're passionate about empowering our clients, and that starts with education. That's why we make it a priority to actually explain things in plain English, so you walk away understanding your own finances, not just nodding along.

If you've been putting off your tax return because it all feels a bit too hard, this is your sign to reach out for a chat.

We know walking into an accountant's office for the first time can feel a little daunting. So let's take the mystery out of it completely.

Here's what actually happens when you book in with us:

BOOK: You book an appointment and we'll confirm your time and let you know what to bring with you.

GATHER YOUR DOCS: TFN, payment summaries, receipts, bank details. Don't stress if it's not perfectly organised. Bring what you have and we'll work through the rest together.

SIT WITH US: Come in for a chat so we can ask the right questions, dig into your deductions and make sure nothing gets missed.

WE LODGE: We handle everything with the ATO. Your return gets lodged properly and your refund lands directly in your account.

That's it. If you've never used a tax agent before, we'd love to be your first. And if you're coming back...welcome back, we've missed you!

Call us 07 5211 0313 or shoot us an email at [email protected] to book an appointment!

POV: your tax agent is more excited about your return than you are 😂 Let's gooo tax season!

Okay but in all seriousness, this is exactly the energy we bring to every single tax return we do. We genuinely love finding every deduction, maximising every refund and getting the best possible outcome for our clients. So if Jaclyn's energy isn't enough to convince you to book an appointment, maybe your refund will be 😄

Don't leave booking an appointment until October when the rush hits and you're scrambling. Call us 07 5211 0313 or shoot us an email at [email protected]

4 reasons not to wait on your tax return this July 🍃

Tax isn't exactly the most exciting thing on your to-do list. But here's why lodging early is genuinely worth it:

Your refund lands faster: The sooner you lodge, the sooner that money is back in your pocket. What's not to love about that?

Beat the rush: This is our busiest time of year and appointment spots fill up quickly. Getting in early means you get the time that suits you, not whatever's left over.

Avoid late penalties: If you lodge your own return, the deadline is 31 October. Miss it and the ATO can issue a Failure-to-Lodge penalty which isn't ideal. Using a registered tax agent like JAR also gives you access to an extended lodgement deadline (another reason to book in early!)

Peace of mind: This reason is underrated, but getting your tax done early means you can stop thinking about it. No more "I really should do my tax?" or "I can't forget to" hanging over your head for months.

Tax time is here! Here's what to bring to your appointment

Preparing for your tax return doesn't have to be stressful. A little organisation goes a long way. Here are three things to have ready before you sit down with us 👇

1. Your personal details
TFN, bank account details (BSB + account number), Medicare card, and your private health insurance statement. The basics that keep everything moving smoothly.

2. Your income documents
Payment summaries, any ABN income or invoices if you're self-employed, Centrelink letters, interest and dividend statements, and rental income records if applicable.

3. Your deductions
Work-related receipts, vehicle logbook or km records (anything you've spent money on to do your job). Not sure if something counts? Bring it anyway and we'll work through it together 🍃

The more organised you are coming in, the faster we can get your return lodged and your refund on its way.

Ready to book an appointment? Link in bio or send us a DM. We're based right here in Mooloolaba and we'd love to help.

30 June is here!

The financial year closes at midnight tonight, so if there's anything left on your list, now's the time.

Last chance to:
- Make that super top-up
- Prepay any deductible expenses
- Donate to a registered charity (DGR)
- Buy that work tool or equipment you've been putting off

After tonight, it waits until next year. And from tomorrow? Tax season officially opens. You can start getting your return together, and the sooner you lodge, the sooner your refund lands!

We'll be ready for you in July. Our calendar is open and we'd love to help you make the most of your return. Whether it's your first time using a tax agent or you've been with us for years, we're here to make it easy.

Thanks for being part of the JAR community this EOFY, wishing every single one of you a smooth end to the financial year!
