Bookkeeping Questions, Answered Simply.

Yes. A bookkeeper manages your day-to-day financial records including payroll, reconciliations, and BAS preparation — while your accountant uses that data to provide tax advice and financial strategy. Working with both ensures your finances are accurate and up to date.

Absolutely. Many clients come to us when they’re behind. We specialise in helping sole traders and small businesses catch up on overdue accounts, clean up their books and stay on track moving forward.

We’re certified in both Xero and QuickBooks and can work with whichever system suits your business best. If you’re not sure, we’ll help you choose the right software and set it up properly.

Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your business. We offer flexible packages and fixed rates for peace of mind. Book a free consultation to get a tailored quote based on your needs.

Not directly,  I’m not currently a registered BAS Agent, but I’m actively working towards that qualification. In the meantime, I can still prepare and organise all the information required for your BAS and ensure it’s accurate, complete and ready for lodgement.

  • I work under the supervision of a registered BAS Agent, which means:
  • Your BAS is reviewed and lodged by a qualified professional
  • You still get expert support throughout the process
  • You stay compliant and avoid late lodgement penalties

Think of me as your bookkeeping partner, managing the groundwork, keeping your records up to date, and ensuring your statements are ready to go on time.
