Certified Advisor
MELBOURNE / WORKING AUSTRALIA-WIDE
Tax, compliance and advisory for startup and growing businesses, with fixed fees upfront and a Chartered Accountant on every file.
No charge, no obligation. We'll tell you if you don't need us.
02 / OUR SERVICES
Six ways to bring clarity to your business. Start with what you need.
03 / INDUSTRY EXPERTISE
The right questions start with understanding how your business works. Practical experience with the decisions, deadlines and numbers that shape your industry.
Don't see yours? Most of what we do transfers. Book a call and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit. Let’s talk ↗
04 / HOW WE WORK
You tell us what's going on. We tell you whether we can help, what it involves, and roughly what it costs. If you're better off with someone else, we'll say so.
Before any work starts, you get a one-page scope: what we'll do, when it'll be done, and what it costs. The fee doesn't move unless the scope does.
We collect what we need in one go, take over from your previous accountant, and deal with anything outstanding. Most clients arrive with something unlodged. That's normal.
BAS each quarter, a review call each quarter, and year-end without the scramble. You'll know your position before June, not in the following March.
05 / WORK & INSIGHTS
How we work through complex matters, and what business owners need to know.
ATO / CASE NOTE
Four years of shareholder loans had been drawn without complying agreements. We reconstructed the loan history, prepared a voluntary disclosure and negotiated the remediation position with the ATO.
LENDING / CASE NOTE
The bank asked for a consolidated three-way forecast across four trading entities. We rebuilt the model with seasonality, covenant calculations and a downside case, then answered the credit team's questions directly.
ADVISORY / CASE NOTE
Job-level costing had never been set up. We restructured the chart of accounts, implemented job tracking in Xero and built a monthly margin report.
Results depend on individual circumstances.
IDEAS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS

For a single company or trust with straightforward affairs.
Everything in Starter
Growth RECOMMENDED
+ GST per year
For businesses making decisions that need numbers behind them.
Everything in Essentials
Advisory
Priced per engagement
For businesses with a specific matter: an ATO audit, a lending application, a restructure or a sale.
Everything in Growth
Fees shown are indicative starting ranges and depend on entity count, transaction volume and the state of existing records. All fees are quoted in writing before work commences.
Phone calls. Emails. Quick questions. If you have to weigh whether a question is worth the invoice, the pricing model has already failed.
07 / ABOUT MDX
A small practice. Direct access. A Chartered Accountant who takes responsibility for your file.
Business owners were paying real money for accounting and still couldn't get a straight answer about their own position. The compliance got done. The advice didn't. And the person who sold the engagement was rarely the person doing the work.
MDX Consultants was built the other way around: a small practice where a Chartered Accountant handles your file personally, the fee is agreed before the work starts, and you get an answer inside a business day.
YOUR PRINCIPAL
Chartered Accountant and Registered Tax Agent with experience across tax advisory, audit and business finance.
Meet Manthan on LinkedInSmall by design. Your work stays with the Chartered Accountant responsible for it. You are not handed from a salesperson to a junior team.
BEFORE WE TALK
No. You sign one authority, we write to your current accountant for your records, and we handle the ATO agent transfer. It usually takes a week and you don't need to have an awkward conversation.
Fixed fees, quoted after the first call. Advisory engagements are scoped individually. See our pricing above for the current ranges.
It's the most common reason people call us. The ATO treats a taxpayer who comes forward very differently from one who is found. We'll map what's outstanding, prioritise it and arrange a payment plan if you need one.
Yes. Most of our work runs through the portal and video calls, and we act for clients across Australia. If you'd rather meet in person, our office is on St Kilda Road.
Yes. Audit defence and dispute work is one of our core areas. We prepare the position paper, manage the correspondence and attend interviews with you.
Xero primarily, and MYOB where clients are already on it. If your books are somewhere else or nowhere at all, migration is part of onboarding.
Only for the owners and key people of businesses we act for. We're not set up for standalone individual returns and you'll get better value elsewhere.
08 / LET’S TALK
Tell us what’s going on. We’ll tell you whether we can help, what it involves, and what comes next.
Your questions are enough.
