Brisbane Accountant
Small Business Tax & Advisory Experts
Smart, stress-free accounting and tax solutions tailored for business owners.
Searching for a Brisbane accountant wasn’t on your vision board, was it?
Let’s be honest—you didn’t grab your morning coffee and think, “Today’s the day I get excited about accounting.”
You’re here because something’s not working. Maybe your current accountant has ghosted you. Maybe your bookkeeping feels like an unsolvable puzzle.
Maybe your books are a mess. Or perhaps you’re starting a business and want to avoid costly mistakes from the get-go.
Whatever the reason, you need a Brisbane accountant who actually understands small business—not just someone who crunches numbers.
So, what makes Sheppard Advisory different?
Let’s be real—there’s no shortage of accountants in Brisbane. We all do tax returns, financial statements, BAS, tax planning, and all that jazz. That’s a given.
But if you’re after someone who throws around jargon and makes tax sound more complicated than it needs to be, we’re probably not your cup of tea.
If you want an accountant who keeps things simple, gives you honest advice, and actually cares about your business success, then we’re on the same page.
Because accounting isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about having someone in your corner who helps you make sense of them and use them to grow.
A Straight-Talking Accountant Who Gets It
Beyond the Basics
There’s more to accounting than ticking boxes and lodging tax returns. I help business owners build a tax strategy that actually supports their goals—whether that’s growing the business, increasing cash flow, or planning for long-term success.
Once we know where you want to go, we’ll map out the most tax-effective way to get you there while ensuring full compliance with Brisbane tax regulations.
No More Tax Surprises
You want to know your accountant has things under control—taxes lodged on time, no nasty surprises, and no moments of, “Oops, I forgot to mention that.”
Running a small business is already a rollercoaster. You shouldn’t have to second-guess whether your Brisbane accountant is keeping up. That’s my job.

What our clients have to say
Emily Figgis15 May 2025I had a fantastic experience working with Ryan at Sheppard Advisory. From our very first video meeting, I felt confident I was in good hands—Ryan was professional, approachable, and clearly knew his stuff. The whole process of preparing and lodging my business tax return was seamless. As a sole trader running a service-based business, the accounting side of things definitely isn’t my strong suit, but Ryan explained everything clearly and was upfront and transparent about his services from the get-go. He was responsive, detail-oriented, and turned everything around quickly, which gave me such peace of mind. This was my first time working with him, and I absolutely plan to again. He also understands and supports the Profit First method, which was a huge plus for me. Highly recommend!
Liz Barrett2 December 2024I highly recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking for an amazing accountant! He's always made himself readily available to assist with any questions I may have had and proposes options that really work to help the individual to set them up on the best financial path. I could go on, but I recommend you reach out and see for yourself what he can do for you!
