Self Managed Super (SMSF) Advice
Considering a SMSF, or simply want to take control of your superannuation, or access a more diverse range of investment options?
In Australia, over 1 million people have made the step to control their own super and setup their own SMSF. The SMSF option is no flash in the pan; the SMSF sector now represents a combined SMSF asset value in excess of $550 billion. That's a lot of SMSF's.
We are Melbourne's leading SMSF advice firm, and you can rest assured that we provide clear, tailored solutions that are linked to your goals and objectives. Depending on your experience and desire for involvement we can fully or partially manage every aspect of your fund, or simply provide strategic input where needed.

Tax Accountants and SMSF Advice specialists
Tax Planning & Tax Advice
Whether you're an individual, a trust or a business, it's too late to start thinking about last year's tax on 1 July. Tax planning and tax advice are a very different service to simply preparing your tax return; it is a service that can make a mountain of difference over your lifetime.
That's why we provide tax advice services for high-income earners, tax planning for small businesses and successful professionals.
As part of our comprehensive tax planning process, our Melbourne-based Tax specialists ensure that any personal, business or trust structures are as tax-effective as they can be. If you choose to partner with our specialist tax advice accountants, we will complete a comprehensive analysis of your income, assets and debts, and provide solutions tailored just for you.

Small Business Tax & Compliance
Accurately prepared business and tax records are not only crucial for meeting your ASIC and ASX statutory reporting requirements, they also give you and other stakeholders in your business a significant insight into your financials, business planning, business health and accounting performance.
Our Melbourne-based Business Specialists offer accounting and compliance services for any business size or structure. At Maddern Accountants we have specialist Bookkeepers and Accountants who work only with businesses, specialising in accounting administration, compliance and the preparation of business financials and tax returns.
Our highly experienced Melbourne business services team can also offer advice on improving your record keeping and efficiencies, that will allow you to spend more time on your business rather than in it.

Jenny M. - April 10, 2016 - View ReviewI am very impressed with the professionalism of Maddern Financial Advisers. I found their website whilst browsing for a company to help with investments and mortgage and tax advice. Between Dennis and the accountants, they dealt with all of my issues and the staff I spoke to on the phone dealt with all my queries efficiently and knowledgeably and were extremely helpful. Highly recommend.

I am a successful career woman. This year I decided to have a review of my Investment portfolio, including my Superannuation, and Insurances. I have found Maddern Financial Advisers to be that independent firm that I was seeking - their skills, size of firm, number of staff suited me. I can recommend them to my friends, and colleagues.

On their advice, we have also setup a Self Managed Super fund and purchased a wonderful property in Richmond through this. Their property package made it so easy - all we had to do was bid on the day and sign the paperwork, They arranged the finance, conveyancer, legal paperwork, and even took the cheque to the real estate agent for settlement.

When I needed help planning my business growth, minimising tax and working out the best option for my super, Maddern Accountants provided all the information I needed to make the right decisions. They were patient in explaining the details and gave me a lot of extra tax minimisation strategies to use in future.

I had an exceptionally easy and seamless transition from my previous accountant and advice firm, to the Maddern group. No query has been too great or too small for their accountants; and their careful tax planning put my husband and myself into a refund position for the first time in years. We have recently setup an SMSF, and the advice process was so clear and simple, and all the work was done for us and explained in a way that we understood.

I became a client of Maddern Financial in 2014 for my SMSF. Very satisfied with everything so far especially the tax advice and high quality of client service. I will have to waite and see if the investment return of my SMSF meets its objective before I can comment on the financial advice of the firm and decide if it justifies the fees, which are a bit high. Overall, I am quite happy with this firm.
