"We started Southern Cross because too many Australians were leaving money with the ATO simply because tax time felt overwhelming. Every client gets the same care we'd want for our own family."
Founded in Sydney in 2009, Southern Cross Tax & Accounting has grown from a single suburban office into a nationwide practice — without losing the personal, one-on-one approach our first clients came to rely on.
Today our team of registered tax agents, CPAs and bookkeepers supports everyday employees, tradies, backpackers, sole traders and growing businesses across every state and territory, combining local knowledge with the systems to handle it all quickly and correctly.
We combine the personal touch of a local accountant with the systems and scale to serve clients right across Australia.
If we can't find you a refund, you don't pay a cent for the assessment.
Every return is reviewed and lodged by a Tax Practitioners Board registered agent.
Most individual returns are reviewed and lodged within 48 hours of receiving your documents.
Meet us in person at one of our offices, or lodge entirely online from anywhere in the country.
