truck driver

Truck driver turned property investor

Working long hours for many years as a truck driver, the client approached us looking to save tax and create an income outside of the long hours he spent driving trucks.  Let’s just say, the words he used to describe his own situation were far more colorful than what is written here.

Prestige Accounting initially assisted him to acquire his first investment property by using our services for strategy, structure, taxation and lending.  The property began as a negatively geared property and the client was happy with the tax it saved him from day one.

Ten years later, the client has four investment properties which are now positively geared allowing him to have a passive income.  He has also sold one property at a substantial gain.  He is now only doing the odd job as a truck driver and the majority of his income is now derived from property.

It is a straight forward process we do for you. If necessary, we contact your previous Accountant to arrange transfer of all information, documents and software, allowing for a seamless transition.

What are your fees / pricing?

We can provide you with a fixed quote with no hidden surprises. A package is often tailored to suit you, which can be paid on a monthly basis or at the time of assisting you.
