Sydney Chartered Accountant · Australia-wide
I’m Andrew Romano CA, a Sydney-based Chartered Accountant helping Australians earning $120k+ with property tax and ownership decisions before they buy, hold or sell. I bring tax experience and more than two decades of building and managing my own multi-property portfolio to reviews of structure, rental tax, capital gains tax and cash flow.
Start with the property Initial Review — $2.75kConnected advice
The same property can produce very different outcomes depending on who owns it, how it is funded and what you plan to do next.
We assess the structure and numbers before you commit, so the decision is informed by your circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all rule.
For an individual investor, I review ownership, the use of borrowed funds, rental income and expenses, and the tax consequences of a future sale. For business owners and trustees, I also consider how the property interacts with company or trust arrangements. SMSF work focuses on the tax, administration and compliance questions within the agreed scope.
If you are looking for a property tax specialist, start with the decision you need help with. My focus is connecting the ownership, tax position and practical numbers, so you can compare the options before committing.

My work can span tax, strategy and property buying support. The scope, fees, responsibilities and any relevant interests are disclosed before you proceed, so you can decide with a clear understanding of each role.

Yes. I am based in Sydney and work with high-income Australians, investors and business owners across Australia. State-specific land tax and transfer duty questions need to be considered for the location and ownership of the property.
Yes. I review the tax and structural questions affecting those ownership arrangements. SMSF engagements cover the agreed tax, setup, administration and compliance work; recommending a superannuation investment requires the relevant financial services authorisation.
Review the proposed ownership, borrowing, cash flow, tax treatment, land tax and future flexibility together. The right questions depend on your income, entities, goals and the property transaction, so the structure should be tested before you sign.
Yes, if the purchase will affect your tax position, borrowing capacity or wider portfolio. Reviewing those three areas before you commit can identify assumptions and trade-offs while you still have options.
