Freelancers, Let’s Get You Legit (Without the Legal Panic)

Updated: Apr 12

Are you a freelancer or side-hustler wondering when you're supposed to “make it official”?


Cool. You’re in the right place.


Not That Kind Of Accountant exists specifically for people like you — creative, chaotic, maybe a little allergic to paperwork — who just want to get your business stuff sorted without spiraling into a black hole of government forms.

✨ First up: the dreaded ABN.

If you've ever asked, “Do I need one?” or “What even is an ABN?” — it’s okay. You’re not alone.

An ABN (Australian Business Number) is basically your biz’s legal ID. You need it to send invoices, do taxes, and look legit to clients. It’s an 11-digit badge that says “yes, I exist and I’m not (technically) winging it.”

We’ll walk you through the whole thing step by step — in plain language, no accountant-speak, no weird government panic spirals. Just gentle guidance and probably some validating side comments.


✅ But wait, there’s more (like... compliance 😬)

We also make compliance guides — aka: “How not to accidentally commit tax fraud.”These explain:

  • What to do once you’ve got your ABN

  • What kind of business structure might suit you

  • Centrelink rules (especially if you’re on DSP)

  • How to keep things legal without losing your soul


💜 Built for brains like yours

This isn’t “professional advice” in a grey office with fluorescent lighting. It’s real help, made by someone who gets it — for neurodivergent folks, disabled freelancers, creatives, and anyone who Googled “how to start a business” and immediately needed a nap.


🔗 So, here’s what you can do:

You're not behind. You're just doing things differently — and that’s valid.

Let’s build something sustainable, safe, and actually made for you.
