Like the topic says, is anyone here an accountant? My current one is less than good and charges far too much! I would rather pay someone on here than keep lining this guys pockets. Also i think he screwed up my last years tax and i just want someone to take a quick look at it! Actual CPA's need only apply!

Cheers guys

Hey Andy

Ive been using H&R Block the past 6 years and they never seem to fail in delivering 3 to 4k...

Not bad I reckon for someone who has very little to deduct...

I was using my local H&R Block for my company tax and found them terrible. the first year i had made a bit of a mess of things so they charged me per hour to do it. ended up being $800. the next year i had everything sorted for them and they charged me their flat company rate which was $1100 despite them having to do much less work, and they kept making errors because they supposedly couldn't understand things, even though we had given them a few pages of notes outlining things, but they seemed to ignore them. then i changed to a different accountant who took one look at the previous work and started saying "they did that wrong, they did that wrong, they should put that there" etc and could understand it perfectly. the new accountant also only charged me $500 to do the company tax as well as both the missus and my personal tax.

i understand that my H&R Block will be different to yours due to different accountants, but it put me off the whole franchise tax company thing. i also found them very snotty to talk to, where as the place i go to now is very friendly and laid back. the fact that i know her husband kind of helps too. infact he gave me a set of rims and tyres for my boat trailer on the weekend, LOL.

I have 2 group certificates (I worked 3 days per week at one government department and 2 days per week at another), I sold one lot of shares and I have an MBF thing. So it's pretty simple but I didn't want to have a go at it myself because I have no idea about tax.

The accountants most likely saw that there was a sale in shares, and jacked the price up.

If you made a profit on the shares, then it's subject to capital gains tax, which would obviously bring your return down. If not then you should have problems with that.

LOL in that case.. E-Tax... it's a really simple to use program and you just have to answer questions.. and fill in your details.. at the start of the question they ask detailed shit about what it's about.. fairly simple.. and cost nothing..

      Pre purchase inspections

      By Therry · Posted

      I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)

      High EGT mystery

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.

      They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.

      370GT ( Type SP ) - Sedan - Cruise Control - Forced Induction - EcuTek

      By MrCodZilla · Posted

      Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,

      I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
