Corporate Secretarial Services
Company secretarial services
The role of company secretary carries real weight: administrative oversight, statutory record-keeping, and ongoing compliance with the legislation, laws and regulations that govern Australian business and industry. For many business owners, corporate secretarial tasks become a persistent source of complexity and stress — time that could otherwise go into running the business. At Kennedy Tax and Business Services, we take that burden off your plate, providing company secretary services to clients across a range of industries and structures, from small proprietary companies to larger organisations with more demanding governance and compliance needs.
Company Compliance Support for Businesses in Australia
Every company operating in Australia carries ongoing company compliance requirements, and falling behind on them can create real risk for directors and officeholders alike. We act as a dedicated company secretary for organisations that would rather hand this responsibility to specialists than manage it internally.
Our secretarial team supports Australian companies with:
- Determining what figures must be included in statutory filings and reporting
- Preparing payment summaries for your employees
-
Meeting day-to-day secretarial obligations as they arise throughout the financial year
- ASX compliance and advice including continuous disclosure, listing rules, governance principles, and corporate action management
- Officeholder appointments and resignations, share transfers, company incorporations and deregistrations in Australia
- Updating and maintaining minute books and statutory registers
- Providing corporate governance advice and assistance
Our Secretarial Services and Governance Expertise
Good governance isn’t a once-a-year exercise — it’s an ongoing discipline. Our expertise spans the full scope of company secretarial work, giving directors confidence that governance and compliance obligations are being met properly and on time.
Our company secretarial support services include:
- Acting as Company Secretary for Australian businesses
- Preparing payment summaries for your employees
- Managing and minuting board, committee, and shareholder meetings
- ASIC compliance, including subsidiary management
- Officeholder appointments and resignations, share transfers, company incorporations and deregistrations in Australia

- Officeholder appointments and resignations, share transfers, company incorporations and deregistrations
- Updating and maintaining minute books and statutory registers
- Providing corporate governance advice and assistance
ASIC Obligations and Regulatory Compliance
Meeting ASIC obligations requires accuracy and timeliness — missed deadlines or incomplete lodgements can expose directors to unnecessary risk. We act as registered agents on behalf of clients where appropriate, managing lodgements, notifications, and statutory deadlines so nothing slips through the cracks. From annual review obligations to changes in company details, we handle the regulatory compliance work that keeps your business in good standing with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
Company Formation and Proprietary Companies
Whether you’re setting up a new proprietary company or restructuring an existing group, we provide practical support through the full company formation process. This includes drafting and reviewing company constitutions, advising on appropriate structures, and ensuring new entities are established correctly from day one — with all statutory registers and records in place from the outset.
Corporate Governance for Growing Organisations
As businesses grow, governance expectations grow with them. We provide expert advice on board processes, committee structures, and shareholder communications, helping directors understand their duties and make well-informed decisions. For listed entities, this extends to ASX compliance — continuous disclosure obligations, listing rule requirements, and corporate action management handled with the rigour that public markets demand.
Why Outsourcing Your Secretarial Support Makes Sense
Outsourcing company secretarial functions isn’t just about convenience — it’s a way of managing risk. Rather than stretching internal resources across an area that demands specialist knowledge, clients gain access to a secretarial services team that stays current on legislative change and handles obligations proactively rather than reactively.
Benefits of outsourcing to our team include:
- A single point of contact for all statutory and governance matters
- Reduced risk of missed ASIC obligations or lodgement deadlines
- Access to specialist expertise without the cost of an in-house resource
- Consistent, accurate maintenance of statutory registers and minute books
