Accounting, tax and audit for small businesses, not-for-profits and professional firms — delivered with technical rigour and a genuinely people-first approach.
What we do
Whether it's a small business return or a complex not-for-profit audit, you work directly with an experienced CPA — not a rotating team.
Financial reports, income tax returns, BAS, FBT, land and payroll tax, and liaising with the ATO on your behalf — so the complexity stays with us.

For many firms the not-for-profit sector is an add-on. For us it's the core of the practice, which means a genuine command of the regulatory, compliance and reporting frameworks our clients depend on.
Why "Alternative"
Alternative Accounting was founded in 2016 on a simple idea: that accounting should serve people and purpose, not profit alone. We choose to work with organisations whose activity is directed at meeting real social and community needs.

Who we work with
In our clients' words
As a tradesperson running my own business, I want an accountant who does more than just lodge the paperwork. Prellin has done exactly that — sorted my BAS and tax, helped me set up my super, and taken the time to map out a real plan for where I’m headed. Genuinely good to deal with.
Prellin has been wonderful to work with. He looks after our BAS, payroll and tax with real care, keeps everything running smoothly through Xero, and is always quick to help when I have a question. I couldn’t recommend Alternative Accounting more highly.
Working with Alternative Accounting has been straightforward and reassuring. Prellin is responsive, thorough and fair, and his advice on technical accounting questions has been genuinely helpful to our committee. We have no hesitation recommending him.
