About Ross
Ross loves property, and personally invests in residential long-term holds, residential subdivisions and developments, commercial property trading, commercial property long-term holds and has previously been involved in residential property trading. As Ross is constantly active in the market, living and breathing property every day, he is up to date with all the tips and tricks and understands property risk and returns through actually doing subdivisions and developments himself. Ross can bring a different perspective to some ownership and development structures that can save thousands in tax over the long term, and loves reviewing and improving ownership frameworks. Ross founded Coombe Smith (now Lifetime) Property Accounting at the age of 24, and now, almost 20 years later, he focuses less on day-to-day accounting and more on high-level property advice and ownership structure optimisation.

Neither Lifetime nor I have been subject to a reliability event. A reliability event is something that might influence you in deciding whether to seek advice from either myself or Lifetime. As an example, this would be a serious event such as legal proceedings against me, or bankruptcy in the last four years.

You’re Missing Out on Tax Savings If You Haven’t Had a Chattels Valuation Done
We’ve been recommending chattels valuations from Valuit for over 20 years, and it still amazes us how many property investors haven’t had one completed.
If you own a rental property and your current accountant hasn’t discussed chattels valuations and depreciation with Valuit, there’s a very good chance you’re paying thousands of dollars more tax than you need to over the life of the property.
