About Rothsay Chartered Accountants

Rothsay Chartered Accountants is a boutique chartered accounting firm based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, serving small and medium-sized businesses, professionals, investors, and other organisations. As a Chartered Accountants ANZ–affiliated practice, they provide tax compliance and advisory services, financial reporting, management accounting, business structuring advice, audit and assurance, and related corporate services. Clients typically work with Rothsay for ongoing business support (such as BAS, payroll, and year‑end accounts), specialist tax planning, and independent audit or review engagements under Australian regulations.

A Rothsay Chartered Accountants charge may appear on your bank or card statement if you or your business engaged them for accounting, tax return preparation, advisory work, or audit services. Charges can be one‑off payments for a specific engagement (for example, an annual company tax return or statutory audit), progress payments on a larger project, or recurring monthly/quarterly fees under a fixed-fee or retainer-style arrangement. Some clients authorise Rothsay to charge a stored card for periodic invoices, which can result in regular charges around the same date each month or quarter. In some cases, you may also see pass‑through payments for ASIC or government lodgement fees processed via Rothsay, or a temporary card authorisation if they verify a new payment method.

If you’re unsure about a Rothsay charge, start by checking recent engagement letters, invoices, and email correspondence from Rothsay Chartered Accountants, as the amount should match a quoted fee or invoice number. Log into any client portal or document-sharing system they’ve set up for you, or search your email for “Rothsay Chartered Accountants” or “rothsay.com.au” to locate statements and tax invoices. For clarification, use the contact details on their official website (rothsay.com.au) and have your full name, entity name (e.g., company or trust), invoice number, and charge date/amount ready; they can confirm what the charge relates to, correct billing details, re-send invoices, or discuss refunds or credits where appropriate. If you suspect unauthorised use of your card, notify both Rothsay and your bank or card issuer promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I seeing a charge from Rothsay Chartered Accountants on my bank statement?

You are likely seeing a Rothsay Chartered Accountants charge because you or your business engaged them to provide services such as tax return preparation, business accounting, advisory work, or an audit/review engagement. The charge usually corresponds to a tax invoice they issued, either for a one‑off job (like year‑end financial statements) or an instalment under an ongoing service arrangement. The statement descriptor may include terms like “ROTHSAY CHARTERED ACCTS,” “ROTHSAY.COM.AU,” or “ROTHSAY SYDNEY.”

What are typical amounts Rothsay Chartered Accountants might charge?

Amounts vary depending on the complexity and scope of work. Small compliance jobs (such as an individual tax return or straightforward company tax compliance) may be a few hundred Australian dollars, while ongoing business packages or audits can run into the thousands and may be billed periodically. If you see a recurring amount (for example, a similar charge each month or quarter), it may relate to a fixed-fee package for bookkeeping, BAS, payroll, or regular advisory services outlined in your engagement letter.

Does Rothsay Chartered Accountants have subscriptions or recurring billing?

Rothsay does not typically offer consumer-style subscriptions, but many business clients are placed on recurring billing for fixed-fee packages or retainers. In these cases, fees are charged monthly or quarterly to a card on file or by direct debit, as agreed in the engagement letter. If you see regular Rothsay charges, check your initial proposal or engagement documents to see whether you agreed to ongoing services and billing cycles.

How can I cancel or pause ongoing services that Rothsay is billing me for?

To cancel or pause ongoing services, you’ll need to contact Rothsay Chartered Accountants directly using the details on rothsay.com.au or by reaching out to your usual partner or manager at the firm. Refer to your engagement letter for notice periods or minimum terms, as some services (such as annual accounts or audits) are tied to specific reporting periods. Once cancellation is confirmed, ask for written confirmation of your final billing date and whether any final work-in-progress charges will be invoiced.

How do I request a refund or dispute a Rothsay Chartered Accountants charge?

If you believe you’ve been overcharged or billed in error, contact Rothsay promptly with the transaction date, exact amount, last four digits of the card used, and any related invoice numbers. They can review your account, explain what the fee covers, and where appropriate issue a credit note or partial/full refund according to your engagement terms and their internal billing policies. If you cannot resolve the issue directly, you can also contact your bank or card issuer to discuss a dispute, but it is generally faster to clarify the charge with Rothsay first.

Why do I see a pending or small test charge from Rothsay Chartered Accountants?

In some cases, when Rothsay adds or updates your card details for automatic payment of invoices, their payment processor may place a small temporary authorisation (often a low-dollar or even $0 amount) to verify the card. This is not a completed charge and should drop off your account within a few business days. If a test amount posts and does not reverse, contact Rothsay and your bank with a screenshot of the transaction so it can be investigated.

How can I get a copy of the invoice related to a Rothsay Chartered Accountants charge?

You can obtain a copy of your invoice by emailing or calling Rothsay through the contact information on rothsay.com.au, or by contacting your usual accountant or engagement manager at the firm. Provide your name, business or entity name, ABN (if applicable), and the date and amount of the charge so they can locate the correct invoice. Many clients also receive invoices via email or a client portal, so searching your email for “Invoice from Rothsay” or checking your portal can quickly surface the document.

What should I do if a Rothsay Chartered Accountants charge is on my card but I’m not a client?

If you do not recognise the charge and are not aware of any relationship with Rothsay, first check with family members or business partners who may have authorised work using a shared card. If no one recognises it, contact Rothsay using the official details on rothsay.com.au and provide the transaction information so they can confirm whether the charge is linked to an existing client file. If it appears to be unauthorised use of your card, notify your bank or card issuer immediately to block the card and initiate a fraud investigation.
