Tax strategy and structuring
The Australian tax system is one of the most complex in the world. Generally, you only get one chance to get it right. A commercial decision or pathway you take today, can have a myriad of tax consequences in the future.

Outside of the core services offered by all Hayes Knight firms, Hayes Knight Queensland also offer our clients several ’specialist services’ including:
Estate Planning
Over many years the practice has developed expertise in the taxation of deceased estates. We are regularly asked by solicitors and estate executors to assist with taxation matters.
This expertise has led the firm to develop the area of estate planning. We now advise clients on how to structure their affairs so they have peace of mind that the wealth they have created during their lifetime is administered according to their wishes.
In line with a growing need resulting from our aging population, we have established VIPCare here in Australia to cater for the needs of older generations who require assistance in managing their financial affairs. This service offers clients help in record keeping, estate, succession and financial planning, retirement living and applying for government entitlements. Where family members once assisted in these matters, geographical hurdles often make this impossible in today’s society and that’s where we can help.

Financial Planning
We have a very successful financial planning division under the name of Hayes Knight Financial Planning. Hayes Knight is an authorised representative of Magnitude Group Pty Ltd (part of the BT Group). Hayes Knight in its first year was awarded the best new financial planning business in Queensland.
To receive this award Hayes Knight was recognised as the best in quality of advice, growth and compliance with legislative requirements. Hayes Knight now has many satisfied clients who are reaping the rewards of sound financial advice.

Hayes Knight Audit QLD can now audit US and Canadian securities issuers
Outside of the standard Hayes Knight Audit and Assurance capabilities, Hayes Knight Audit Qld was recently granted registered status with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). This is the governing body for publicly listed companies in the USA and means that we can conduct audits of entities that are issuers of securities in the US.
Similarly we are registered with the Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB), which gives us the same status in Canada as we have in the US. These registrations mean that we can manage and co-ordinate Australian company audit requirements almost anywhere around the world, and also manage the Australian audit compliance for companies listed in the US or Canada.
