Deep Specialisation for Business Clients
Commercial depreciation is complex — multiple asset pools, industry-specific fit-outs, leasehold improvements, and varying entitlements between landlords and tenants. We specialise in navigating this complexity so your business clients never miss a deduction.
Where clients gain the most
Fit-outs are one of the most valuable — and most commonly missed — sources of commercial deductions. We ensure every eligible asset is captured, from flooring and lighting to specialised medical equipment, commercial kitchens, and POS systems.
Commercial property types we service
Landlord & tenant entitlements
- Base building depreciation
- Structural improvements
- Plant & equipment assets
- Tenant fit-outs
- Leasehold improvements
- Make-good obligations
- Scrapping & disposal benefits
Every schedule is tailored to ownership structure, lease terms, and industry requirements.
Fit-out & leasehold reports include
- Detailed asset registers
- Effective life calculations
- Low-value & small business pooling
- Immediate write-off eligibility
- Scrapping schedules for replaced assets
Fit-outs are typically where commercial clients unlock their largest deductions.
Residential Depreciation Support for Your Investor Clients
Many accountants refer both commercial and residential clients. While our commercial expertise is a core differentiator, we also prepare high-quality residential schedules for investment properties across Australia — with the same standards of accuracy, compliance, and clarity, ensuring maximum deductions with minimal effort.

Commercial and residential schedules are delivered quickly year-round, with priority turnaround options available during peak tax season so your deadlines are never at risk.
