AUSTRALIA' S ONLY 24/7 EMERGENCY TAX DEBT HOTLINE CALL  24/7 - 1800 556 426 

ABOUT > OUR STORY

At last, someone who cares about your accounts as much as you do


Emergency Accounting is a unique accounting firm that specialises in emergency and preventative accounting. Today, we are best known for our 24/7 emergency tax debt hotline – it is the only one of its kind in Australia, after all! This service allows us to provide immediate assistance to clients facing urgent tax debt issues. 


With over 40 years of experience in the industry, we have developed a reputation for having real expertise in handling tax debt and assisting clients to get on top of their financial obligations.

We started out as a little bookkeeping business, many years ago.

We soon grew to a full-service business accounting firm with specialist in-house expertise in tax planning, tax accounting, management accounting, financial accounting and strategic forecasting and trend analysis.


Emergency and Preventative Accounting came about because we were stunned and horrified at how often we were finding issues with people’s accounts… and how big some of them were – both in dollar and human damage terms.

No one was there to help with a real crisis

We coined the phrase ‘search and rescue’ for the clients who really needed some decent attention and a complete fix-up and until recently, that’s what we called our Emergency Accounting service. As people began to hear about us and seek us out for this kind of work, we became involved in more drastic situations where people were really suffering.


One CEO had lost everything, including his marriage and was living in a shoebox apartment with no fridge for six months before we met him and helped him sort things out. Another was up for unpaid superannuation worth hundreds of thousands without realising more than that had been siphoned out of the company by an ex-employee over a number of years. Many were facing unnecessary liquidation and loss of property. Marriage breakdowns, health issues and enormous reputational damage were not uncommon.



Almost every client we saw was blindsided and bewildered. And these were competent, intelligent, successful men and women on the whole.
