Inbound and outbound investment and business structuring
Traditional trading borders are being replaced by open markets serviced by internet, technology and improved logistics. Business is mobile and broad in its application and so are the people and businesses that support it.

Cross border transactions and plannings
Whether your business is looking to expand overseas or set up operations in Australia, it pays to have the right taxation and accounting guidance. Cross-border taxation is inherently complex and moving across borders presents some unique risks, traps and opportunities.

Pre-arrival or pre departure individual tax planning
If you're planning to work in Australia as a temporary or permanent resident, understanding Australian tax and how tax rules apply to you can make a big difference to your hip pocket.

Back office and global support
What you want is a comprehensive and adaptable back-office support system that can expand with your organisation as its demands change.

Bates Cosgrave came highly recommended before I decided to move back to Australia, as they have the capacity to understand complex issues beyond the Australian border. From my perspective, my choice of advisor must be technically strong, personal and professional, responsive, prudent, practical, transparent and trustworthy. I am pleased that Bates Cosgrave delivers all of these as part of my relationship with them.
