Meet your accountant
Real advice, from the person who actually works on your numbers.
I’m Maybell Sun. Most accountants follow a single path: an accounting degree, an accounting master’s, a practising certificate. Mine didn’t.
I studied business, majoring in advertising, then completed a Master of Business and a Master of Accounting at the Australian National University. Before starting SML in 2018 I ran businesses of my own — I bought a franchise territory and built an education business from scratch. So when you tell me where your business is stuck, I’ve usually sat on your side of the desk.
Today I’m a Fellow of CPA Australia, a registered tax agent and a registered BAS agent. You speak with me directly, in plain English or in 中文.

Who we work with
Made for business owners. Probably a lot like you.
If a few of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.
- You’re doing the books at night, after a full day running the business.
- BAS time always turns into a last-minute scramble.
- You’re not sure whether you’re setting enough aside for tax.
- You only hear from your accountant once a year.
- You want things explained in plain English — or in 中文.
- You want someone who understands running a business, not just the rules.
What working with SML looks like
One practice for the books, the BAS and the tax.
- A 15-minute call first. Tell me what’s going on; I’ll tell you honestly whether we’re a fit.
- A clear scope and quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
- Bookkeeping, BAS, payroll and tax handled together, so nothing falls between two providers.
- Deadlines tracked through the year, not just at tax time.

Second Opinion Review · $500 + GST fixed
Find $500 of savings — or it's free.
A professional second look at your bookkeeping, GST & BAS, tax readiness and business numbers. If we can't identify at least $500 of savings or cost-risks in writing, the review costs you nothing.
See how it worksWhy it matters
Small issues become expensive when the records are unclear.
Late reconciliations make BAS review harder.
Payroll settings affect PAYG, STP and super obligations.
Missing records weaken tax positions and slow decisions.
Management reports are only useful when the bookkeeping is clean.
Industries
Focused support for the industries we work with most.
SML can shape bookkeeping, BAS, payroll and reporting workflows around the way each business earns, spends and manages risk.

Before 31 October
The date that actually matters is 31 October.
Become a client of a registered tax agent before 31 October and your lodgment date moves to 15 May 2027. You don’t need the return finished by then — you only need to be on the client list. This does not apply if you have prior-year returns still outstanding.
