How Kelly wiped over $215,000 in ATO debt and protected her home and business
Kelly’s story
Operating as a sole trader tiler since 2014, Kelly’s business was her only source of income. Unfortunately, without a system to set aside money for taxes, her ATO debt spiralled to nearly $350,000. With jointly owned real property, motor vehicles, and her livelihood on the line, she needed a plan to manage her historical tax debt while allowing her to continue trading. We helped her establish a Personal Insolvency Agreement (PIA) that protected her assets, saved her business, and wiped over 60% of her debt.

The challenge
Despite having a viable business and correcting her financial habits for the future, the sheer size of Kelly’s historical ATO debt threatened everything she had built.
The solution
Comprehensive financial assessment
Strategic protection
Favourable creditor negotiation
Tailored repayment structure
The result
Kelly successfully executed a Personal Insolvency Agreement, removing the immediate threat to her livelihood and personal assets. With over $215,000 of debt wiped and a clear, five-year instalment plan in place, she secured her financial future while confidently continuing to run her tiling business.
Consolidating massive tax debt
After years of running his own business as a shotfirer, Dom was left with $130,000 in debt – mostly owed to the ATO – and no way to manage it as a regular employee. Bankruptcy would have returned nothing to creditors and left him with little to show for his working years. We arranged a Personal Insolvency Agreement, wiping 40% of his debt and consolidating the rest into a single affordable weekly payment, letting him keep his vehicle and move forward free of ATO pressure.
Halving severe business debt
When Michael’s business collapsed in the wake of COVID, he was left with $133,000 in debt across the ATO, credit cards, and personal loans. After attempts to negotiate directly with creditors failed, we structured a Part X Personal Insolvency Agreement – allowing him to retain his vehicle, avoid bankruptcy, and settle his debt at just 50 cents in the dollar.
