Accountant Frankston: Tax Planning & Business Advisory | Pinnacle
Accountant Frankston — Tax Planning & Business Advisory
Looking for an accountant in Frankston? Pinnacle Accounting & Advisory works with Frankston small business owners who are serious about paying less tax, building the right structure, and growing a business that lasts. We’re a cloud-based Melbourne firm — which means you get the expertise of a Chartered Tax Advisor and CPA without being locked to a local address.
Why Frankston Business Owners Choose Pinnacle
Most accountants in Frankston are stuck in reactive mode — they process what happened last year rather than shaping what happens next. At Pinnacle, we take the opposite approach. We build a tax and financial strategy around your business goals, and we review it throughout the year so nothing is left to chance. As Frankston continues to grow and attract new business investment, the cost of an average accountant has never been higher.
- Tax planning done before the bill arrives — We review your tax position mid-year and implement strategies while there’s still time to act, not after 30 June has passed.
- Structure reviews that protect your wealth — Whether you’re trading through a sole trader arrangement, company or trust, the wrong structure costs you significantly every year. We get that right.
- Monthly management reports — Real-time visibility over revenue, margins, cash flow and KPIs so you can make faster, better decisions.
- Proactive advice, not reactive compliance — We come to you with ideas, not invoices. You’ll hear from us regularly, not just at tax time.
- BAS lodgements and ATO compliance — Handled accurately and on time, every quarter — so you never face avoidable ATO interest or penalties.
Accounting Services for Frankston Businesses
We offer a complete suite of accounting, tax and advisory services for Frankston small and medium business owners — from compliance essentials through to strategic business advisory.
Tax Planning & Minimisation
We work with Frankston business owners to legally reduce their tax burden through active, year-round planning. From timing strategies and deduction maximisation to Division 7A planning and income splitting, we ensure you’re never paying more tax than necessary.
Business Structuring
The right structure — whether a company, discretionary trust, unit trust, holding entity or some combination — can reduce your tax significantly and protect your personal assets from business risk. We review existing structures and redesign them where needed, from start-up through to succession planning.
Virtual CFO & Management Reporting
You shouldn’t need to hire a full-time CFO to access strategic financial insight. Our Virtual CFO service delivers a monthly reporting pack covering your KPIs, cash flow position and forward-looking analysis — giving Frankston business owners a clear picture of where the business stands and where it’s heading.
BAS Lodgements & Compliance
We manage all ATO compliance obligations for Frankston businesses — including quarterly BAS lodgements, income tax returns, payroll tax and superannuation compliance — accurately and on time, so you can stay focused on running the business.
Bookkeeping
Accurate, up-to-date books are the foundation of good business decisions and smooth tax planning. We set up and maintain cloud-based bookkeeping — typically through Xero — so your accounts are always reconciled, current and ready for reporting or funding conversations.
Serving Frankston’s Business Community
Frankston is a major coastal hub on the southern edge of Melbourne and the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula — and it’s experiencing a genuine commercial renaissance. The Frankston CBD has attracted significant urban renewal investment, with new commercial and mixed-use developments reshaping the area’s business landscape. Key industries driving Frankston’s economy include health and allied health services, retail, hospitality, trades and construction, property development and a growing professional services sector. The Frankston-Mornington Peninsula region also has a thriving small business community built around coastal lifestyle — from boutique retail and tourism-adjacent businesses to specialist medical clinics and childcare services. As infrastructure investment continues and population growth accelerates, there’s never been a more important time for Frankston business owners to have a proactive accountant in their corner. Frankston forms part of our broader Melbourne accounting practice serving businesses across Greater Melbourne and Victoria.
Who We Work With
Our ideal clients are Frankston business owners with annual turnover of $500,000 or more — typically with a small team and a clear desire to build something that lasts. Whether you’re in health services, retail, hospitality, construction or property development, we can help you reduce tax, build a smarter structure and grow more strategically.
We don’t take on every client. We’re selective because our model only works when clients are open to advice and serious about growth. If that sounds like you, let’s talk.

Book a ConsultationFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in Frankston to work with Pinnacle?
No. We’re a cloud-based firm and work with business owners across Melbourne, Victoria and Australia. You don’t need to come into an office — everything can be done via video call, phone and our secure online portal.
What’s the difference between a tax accountant and a tax advisor?
A tax accountant files your returns. A tax advisor plans ahead to reduce what you pay. Mina Baselyous is both — a CPA and Chartered Tax Advisor — so you get compliance and strategy in one place, without needing two separate professionals.
How much does it cost to work with Pinnacle?
Our fees reflect the depth of advice and the outcomes we deliver. We don’t compete on price — we compete on results. The right structure and proactive planning typically saves clients far more than our fee. Book a consultation to discuss what’s right for your situation.
What size business do you work with in Frankston?
We work best with established businesses turning over $500,000 or more, typically with a small team. If you’re below that threshold and looking for compliance only, we’re probably not the right fit — but if you’re growing and want an advisor in your corner, let’s talk.
