Proactive tax and business advice for Berwick business owners
Pinnacle Accounting & Advisory supports professional services firms, retailers and growing businesses across Berwick and the Casey region with the kind of senior-level financial advice that helps you grow with confidence. Because good accounting isn’t just about compliance — it’s about understanding your numbers well enough to make smarter decisions.
Berwick is one of Melbourne’s most vibrant outer-suburban centres — home to a mix of established professional services firms, allied health practices, retailers, consultants and family-run businesses that have been building here for years. It’s a community that values relationships and trust. That’s exactly the kind of firm Pinnacle Accounting & Advisory is: a firm where you speak to the same qualified adviser every time, and where your business actually gets thought about between tax seasons.
Based in Lyndhurst, we’re a short drive from Berwick’s main commercial strip and the broader Casey Growth Corridor. We work with Berwick business owners who are tired of generic, once-a-year accounting and want something better — an adviser who understands their industry, flags opportunities before they disappear, and keeps their tax position tight all year round. Berwick is part of our broader Melbourne accounting practice serving businesses across Melbourne’s outer south-east and Victoria.
Berwick has a well-educated, driven business community — and business owners here ask good questions. We think your accountant should be able to answer them. At Pinnacle, every client gets access to Mina Baselyous directly: a CPA and Chartered Tax Advisor who can speak with authority on everything from company structure to Division 7A loans, trust distributions to small business CGT concessions.
We don’t pad out meetings with jargon and we don’t keep you waiting weeks for answers. Our job is to make your financial life less complicated — not more.
Whether you’re a sole practitioner in allied health, a multi-location retailer or a growing professional services firm, we have the range and depth to support you properly. Here’s what Berwick clients engage us for most.
Proactive, year-round strategies — not just end-of-year patch-ups. We look at your structure, your income and your goals and build a plan that legally reduces what you hand to the ATO.
Accurate quarterly BAS preparation and lodgement, reconciled with your accounts so your GST position is always correct and your cash flow isn’t blindsided by a surprise liability.
For professional practices and growing firms that need regular financial oversight but aren’t ready for a full-time CFO. Monthly or quarterly reviews, KPI tracking, cash flow analysis and strategic input.
Thinking of bringing on a business partner, opening a second location, or taking on a major contract? We model the financial scenarios and give you a clear view of the risk and opportunity before you decide.
Clean books are the foundation of everything. We support clients with bookkeeping via Xero and other cloud platforms so your reports are current, accurate and actually useful.
For business owners thinking about the longer game — property, investments, succession and estate planning considerations. We help you structure for both business performance and personal wealth.
We don’t wait for your call. We monitor your position throughout the year and reach out when there’s something worth acting on — a depreciation opportunity, a structuring change, a super contribution timing question. That’s the difference between advisory and compliance.
Berwick’s business community runs at pace. When you have a question — about a deal, a tax obligation or a planning decision — you shouldn’t have to wait a week for a response. We return calls and emails promptly and speak in plain English, not jargon.
Mina Baselyous holds both CPA and Chartered Tax Advisor designations — a rare dual qualification that gives our clients access to a higher standard of tax and business advice. This is particularly valuable for professional services businesses where the financial structures are more complex.
Our business had grown significantly but we’d outpaced our old accounting setup. Mina came in, got across our structure quickly and put in place a proper tax strategy. The difference in what we’re paying has been substantial — and more than that, we now feel like someone’s actually looking after the financial side of the business.
I’d tried a couple of accountants before and always felt like just another client number. At Pinnacle, Mina actually understands how our business works — the seasonality, the project structure, the way cash moves through. The advice is specific to us, not generic. That’s rare.
The responsiveness alone puts Pinnacle ahead of most firms I’ve dealt with. I run a fast-moving business and I need answers quickly — Mina consistently delivers that. It’s a professional relationship where I feel genuinely supported, not just processed.
Yes, Berwick is one of our core service areas. Our office is in Lyndhurst, which is a quick drive from Berwick’s main commercial and professional precincts. We work with professional services firms, allied health practices, retailers and family businesses throughout Berwick, Berwick South, Harkaway and the surrounding Casey region. Most of our day-to-day work is done via Zoom and cloud accounting tools, so we’re accessible no matter how busy your schedule is — but we’re also close enough to meet in person when that suits you better.
We make switching straightforward and painless. Once you’ve decided to move, we manage the entire handover — we write to your previous accountant to collect your records, assess what we’ve received and make sure we have a complete picture of your affairs before we do anything else. You don’t need to chase anyone or worry about files being lost in the transition.
We tailor the meeting cadence to what your business actually needs. For professional services clients and growing firms, we typically recommend quarterly meetings as a baseline — enough to stay on top of your financials, plan ahead for tax and review your position. Businesses going through growth, restructuring or a major transaction often benefit from monthly touchpoints.
Our core client base is small to medium-sized businesses — from sole practitioners and partnerships through to companies turning over several million dollars. In Berwick this includes physiotherapy practices, financial planning businesses, multi-staff retail stores, consulting firms and real estate agencies. We also work with high-income individuals who have more complex personal tax situations.
We operate on fixed-fee arrangements for most ongoing services — so you always know what you’re paying before the work starts and there are no billable-hours surprises. The exact fee depends on the scope of what you need, the complexity of your affairs and how frequently we engage. We begin every new client relationship with a no-obligation consultation.
As a cloud-based practice, Pinnacle Accounting & Advisory works with business owners across Australia. We serve businesses across Berwick and the Casey region. Book a consultation regardless of where you’re based.
