Fitness Tax & Advisory

Running a health or fitness business comes with unique financial challenges — multiple income streams, strict compliance requirements, and constant operational demands.

Whether you’re just starting out or growing fast, we help you stay on top of the numbers, minimise tax, and build a more resilient business.

From accurate reporting and payroll to cash flow management and tax planning, we provide the financial clarity to make confident decisions and grow with control.

Income Streams & Revenue Recognition

Fitness businesses juggle memberships, casual visits, merchandise, training packages, and online programs — often mixing prepaid and recurring income. Accurately classifying and recognising revenue ensures financial clarity and helps prevent over- or under-reporting.

Seasonal Cash Flow & Budget Volatility

Fitness businesses often see demand spike during events like New Year enrolments, then drop during off-peak periods. Without effective forecasting and reserve planning, this volatility can create cash flow pressure and cause missed growth opportunities.

Payroll & Contractor Classification Risk

Many fitness businesses rely on a mix of employees and contractors (personal trainers, therapists, instructors). Misclassification can trigger Fair Work claims, ATO scrutiny, back pay, and penalties — making accurate payroll, superannuation, and reporting essential.

Equipment Depreciation & Expense Management

Fitness equipment is a major investment. Properly tracking purchases, maintenance, and depreciation schedules keeps your books accurate and maximises available tax deductions — helping you manage overheads and protect margins.

Year‑Round Tax Strategy & Compliance

Missing BAS or tax deadlines, failing to plan for quarterly PAYG instalments, or overlooking industry-specific deductions (such as wellness programs or equipment write-offs) can lead to penalties and unexpected liabilities. Proactive, industry-aware tax planning helps you avoid surprises and save money.
