Yes. UHY Cohen Fasciani provides specialist solicitors trust account audits for law firms in Victoria, as required under the Legal Profession Uniform Law and the Legal Services Board + Commissioner's requirements. Our audit team has deep experience in the regulatory framework governing trust accounts, ensuring your firm meets its obligations accurately and on time. We understand the unique compliance requirements of legal practice trust accounting.

Absolutely. Succession planning is one of the most important — and often most overlooked — decisions a family business owner will make. At UHY Cohen Fasciani, our advisory team specialises in helping family businesses plan for ownership transition — covering business valuation, management handover, estate planning, capital gains tax implications, and tax-effective structuring. Whether you are transitioning to the next generation, selling to management, or preparing for an external sale, we help you protect value and ensure continuity.

At UHY Cohen Fasciani, our family office service is designed for high-net-worth families and business owners who need integrated advice across their personal, business, and investment affairs. We coordinate tax planning, superannuation, estate planning, cashflow management, and wealth management — giving families a single trusted point of contact for all their financial needs. We work alongside your other advisers to ensure your affairs are structured effectively for the long term.

A business performance accountant goes well beyond tax compliance — they work proactively alongside you to help you understand your financial position, identify opportunities to improve performance, and make confident business decisions. At UHY Cohen Fasciani, our Melbourne team acts as a genuine business partner — providing KPI development, cashflow management, management reporting, strategic planning, and practical financial guidance to help your business perform at its best.

Tax planning and restructuring involves proactively reviewing your business and personal affairs to identify opportunities to legally minimise your tax burden — and restructuring your affairs to achieve the most tax-effective outcome. At UHY Cohen Fasciani, our tax advisers work with Melbourne businesses and individuals throughout the year to review structures, plan for major transactions, identify deductions, and ensure you are not paying more tax than legally necessary. Effective restructuring can significantly reduce ongoing tax obligations and protect wealth over the long term.
