What a business is required to produce
13-Week Cash Flow Forecast
$1,550 + GST ($1,705 incl. GST)A director who is worried about solvency is expected to monitor the company's position, get advice and act in time; the safe harbour in the Corporations Act protects directors who are following a plan that is reasonably likely to lead to a better outcome. The first thing a lawyer or restructuring practitioner will ask for is a week-by-week cash flow forecast. We build it in five days from your own ledger, with the low point and the levers ranked. We do not give legal advice or act as a restructuring practitioner; we give your advisers the numbers to work from.

Connected Reporting
$2,800 + GST ($3,080 incl. GST) setup, then $395 + GST a month ($434.50 incl. GST), billed quarterlyQueensland building contractors must keep a current ratio of at least 1:1, stay within 10 per cent of their approved maximum revenue and hold the net tangible assets for their licence category, and companies report on all of it to the QBCC every year. The monthly pack watches those three numbers so the annual report holds no surprises, and models the step up a category before you ask for one. We do not prepare or sign MFR reports; your accountant does, from numbers that are already in order.

Finance Ready Pack
$3,000 to $8,000 + GST ($3,300 to $8,800 incl. GST), scopedLenders ask for a month-by-month cash flow forecast with the repayments in it, a linked profit and loss and balance sheet, and what happens if revenue falls 10, 20 or 30 per cent, before they will consider a business loan or a refinance. The Finance Ready Pack is that set, in the shape a credit analyst expects, so the questions are answered before they are asked.

QBCC Financial Reporting
$2,800 + GST ($3,080 incl. GST) setup, then $495 + GST a month ($544.50 incl. GST), billed quarterlyEvery QBCC licensee company must lodge financial information between 1 August and 31 December each year, keep a current ratio of at least 1:1 at all times, hold the net tangible assets for its category and stay within 10 per cent of its approved maximum revenue. QBCC's own guidance says the Category 1 to 3 annual report does not have to be prepared by an accountant; the MFR report required at licence changes does. In 2024-25 QBCC suspended 164 licences and cancelled 159 for financial non-compliance.

QBCC Annual Reporting Pack
$1,550 + GST ($1,705 incl. GST)QBCC requires every licensee company to lodge annual financial information between 1 August and 31 December: a profit and loss, balance sheet, aged debtors and creditors and cash flow statement for Categories 1 to 3, and revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities for SC1 and SC2 companies. Failing to report is an offence and can lead to suspension. QBCC states that this reporting does not have to be prepared by an accountant.

Safe Harbour Cash Flow Pack
$4,800 + GST ($5,280 incl. GST), then $395 + GST a month ($434.50 incl. GST), billed monthly while monitoring runsDirectors are protected from insolvent-trading liability only while they develop and follow a course of action reasonably likely to lead to a better outcome than immediate administration or liquidation. ASIC's Regulatory Guide 217 expects that plan to rest on considered and meaningful analysis based on accurate, reliable information, kept current and monitored, with employee entitlements paid and tax lodgements up to date; it lists the lack of cash flow forecasts and budgets as a warning sign of insolvency. A small business restructuring plan must be proposed within 20 business days and show the company can meet it.

Tender Pricing and Commercial Response
From $2,000 + GST ($2,200 incl. GST) per bidA tender must be priced in the buyer's own schedule, and councils and agencies commonly assess a tenderer's financial capacity before awarding. We build the cost base from your own rates, test the margin and the risk, and present the commercial response so it scores.
Business Case for a Major Decision
$4,500 to $9,500 + GST ($4,950 to $10,450 incl. GST), scopedGrant assessors, boards and lenders read the financials for viability before they read the idea, and most state grant programs require a project plan with costs and a co-contribution. A business case built to the funder's template, with the options costed and the downside tested, is the difference between a competitive application and a form.

What a council must adopt and publish
Financial Health Check
From $3,600 + GST ($3,960 incl. GST)Each year a Queensland council reports against the department's financial sustainability measures, among them the operating surplus ratio, the unrestricted cash expense cover ratio, the asset sustainability ratio and the leverage ratio, and the Auditor-General's sustainability report ranks the sector on them. The Health Check scores your council against those measures before the audit does, and says which ones need a decision this budget.

Forecast Review and Sustainability Ratios
$4,800 + GST ($5,280 incl. GST); extended $9,600 + GST ($10,560 incl. GST)Queensland councils must adopt a long-term financial forecast of at least 10 years with every budget, keep a long-term asset management plan consistent with it, and publish sustainability statements that the Queensland Audit Office audits. The Financial Management (Sustainability) Guideline 2024 sets nine measures and eight tiers, with the asset renewal funding ratio phasing in by tier from 2023-24 to 2027-28. QAO's 2025 report found 13 out-of-date asset management plans, asset data that did not match forecasts and 14 councils late with their statements.

Fees, Charges and Cost Recovery Review
From $9,600 + GST ($10,560 incl. GST)Under section 97(4) of the Local Government Act 2009, a cost-recovery fee must not be more than the cost to the council of taking the action it pays for. The review costs each regulatory fee from the bottom up so the schedule is defensible, and shows which commercial fees recover their cost and which are quietly subsidised by rates.

Long Term Financial Planning
From $20,000 + GST ($22,000 incl. GST), scopedQueensland councils must adopt a long-term financial forecast of at least ten years with every budget, together with a revenue statement and revenue policy, and must publish a long-term financial sustainability statement that the Auditor-General audits (Local Government Regulation 2012). The model we build is that forecast: the measures the department tracks, the scenarios the chamber will ask for, and a report written to be tabled.

Business Cases and Feasibility Studies
From $15,000 + GST ($16,500 incl. GST), scopedGrant programs and the state's assessment frameworks ask for a business case or a cost-benefit analysis before they fund a major project, and the funder sets the template. We build the case to it, with the options costed and the downside tested, so the application is competitive rather than a form.
What a body corporate or village operator must adopt
Body Corporate Sinking Fund Forecast
$2,400 to $6,800 + GST ($2,640 to $7,480 incl. GST), scopedQueensland law requires every body corporate's sinking fund budget to provide for necessary and reasonable capital spending over at least the next nine years (Standard Module Regulation 2020, section 160). A sinking fund forecast is how committees and strata managers meet that test and defend the levy at the AGM. New South Wales requires a 10-year capital works fund plan, reviewed at least every five years (Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, section 80), and Victoria requires a 10-year maintenance plan for owners corporations over 50 lots. We build to the rules of the state the scheme sits in.

Annual Refresh (Sinking Fund or LTFP)
From $1,600 + GST ($1,760 incl. GST)The nine-year test in Queensland is applied every year when the sinking fund budget is set, and New South Wales plans must be formally reviewed at least every five years. The Annual Refresh rolls the forecast forward with this year's actual spending, quotes and fund balance, so the budget still passes the test and nobody rebuilds from scratch. For councils, the long-term financial forecast is adopted again with every budget, and the refresh brings last year's model up to date for it.

Retirement Village Fund Budgets
From $4,800 + GST ($5,280 incl. GST)Queensland retirement village operators must adopt annual budgets for the capital replacement fund and the maintenance reserve fund that cover the current year plus at least nine years, based on a quantity surveyor's report prepared by a member or fellow of the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (a full report every three years, updated in between). From 2025-26 the budgets, a quarterly statement and the audited report follow prescribed formats and must reconcile to the financial statements with differences explained.

We name the instrument the law requires. We never say you must buy the forecast.
A gatekeeper asks for a document; a regulation requires a plan or a report. Our job is to build that document to the standard the rule sets, fixed fee, with every figure traced, and to prepare the workpapers where a qualified accountant, auditor or quantity surveyor has to sign. Where a rule needs a licensed signer we say so on the service page, and we work alongside yours or introduce one.
