Tax Consulting & Compliance

Australia’s tax environment is complex and constantly changing, and for families with international interests the picture is more intricate still. Our role is to help clients anticipate what is coming, understand what it means for them, and respond with confidence.

Clients have relied on Green & Sternfeld’s technical depth and commercial judgement for decades. Just as importantly, the close relationships between our clients, directors and senior staff mean we understand each client’s affairs thoroughly — so our advice is not only correct, but genuinely useful.

We advise on a wide range of matters, including:

Tax structuring

  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Analysis and advice on tax-effective structures
  • Sale, restructure and winding-up of business interests and investments
  • Structuring for asset protection and succession
