Is Your CURRENT
BOOKKEEPING
Holding You Back?

If your bookkeeping and financial situation isn’t where you want it to be, then it may be time to get a second opinion on your strategy.

Here's what we're increasingly seeing from business owners in the industry:

  • Struggling to keep books up-to-date and accurate
  • Uncertain about true financial position of their business
  • Frustrated with endless manual processes and paperwork
  • Concerned with errors in BAS lodgements and GST calcs
  • Missing out on deductions due to improper record-keeping
  • Facing cash flow problems with no clarity on spending
  • Stressed by late payments and disorganised paperwork
  • Lacking real-time data to make good business decisions
  • Frustrated by offshore or unreliable bookkeeping services

If any of this sounds familiar, then chances are...

YOUR BOOKKEEPER
ISN’T GIVING YOU THE LEVEL
OF SERVICE
YOU NEED

Reliable bookkeeping is the cornerstone of any successful business...

It ensures compliance with the ATO, enables you to make informed decisions for your business (based on accurate, real time data) and it helps you avoid costly errors.

Yet unfortunately most bookkeepers (or bookkeeping services) are far from 'reliable'.

In our experience it's because they either lack the skills, experience or qualifications needed to successfully run an accurate, compliant and timely set of accounts.

But if you’re serious about winning in business and getting clarity, control, and confidence in your numbers...

Then this approach just won’t cut it.

Especially with Australia’s changing business and economic landscape in 2024/25:

  • The ATO are cracking down on non-compliance
  • Director Penalty Notices are up 50% from 2023
  • The ATO is hunting $34B owed by small business owners
  • 2024 saw the highest insolvency rates on record
  • Tax Act has grown from 3,000 pages (in the 90’s) to 14,000+

Without an experienced and qualified bookkeeper on your team, it’s like tip toeing blindfolded through a minefield.

Even for the most seasoned business operator.

So what do you do?

ENGAGE A RELIABLE
BOOKKEEPER Invested
in your business

Imagine…

How much better off would you be if your bookkeeper:

  • Kept everything up-to-date, no matter how busy things got?
  • Was always accessible to answer any questions you have?
  • Streamlined your processes and eliminated manual errors?
  • Always responded to your emails and calls within 24 hours?
  • Specialised working exclusively with businesses like yours?
  • Proactively managed your BAS to lodge before deadlines?
  • Provided real-time financial reports on your cash flow?
  • Ensured you never missed any tax deductions or credits?
  • Never outsourced your work to unskilled overseas teams?
  • Supported you in payroll, invoicing, and staying compliant?

We’re only scratching the surface here…

Truth is, over 90% of the time we look at new client’s books we find costly mistakes, missed opportunities, and downright lazy 'vanilla' bookkeeping.

Our advice?

Don’t leave the accuracy and compliance of your accounts to chance.

You need reliable and timely bookkeeping – when it counts.

From there, we handle the rest. We arrange for all your records to be transferred across so we can get to work. Once your records have been successfully transferred, we can begin immediately.

We do not have any lock-in contracts or minimum commitments. We’re a subscription-based service where our success is a result of our ability to provide exceptional value and consistent results. 

If you no longer wish to work with us (or vice versa), there’s no need for legal contracts. If you’re unhappy or find that working with our team is no longer the right fit for your business, you’re free to leave at any time.

How often should I get bookkeeping updates?

Our bookkeeping services provide weekly updates, ensuring that your financial data is always current.


By staying on top of your accounts weekly, you can easily monitor cash flow, track profitability, and catch any discrepancies before they become larger issues.


Frequent updates also give you a clearer understanding of your business’s financial health, allowing you to make timely decisions based on accurate information.


This proactive approach helps prevent cash flow issues and ensures you’re always ahead of important financial milestones.

Is hiring a bookkeeper worth it?

Yes, hiring a bookkeeper is an investment that can save you a lot of time, money, and energy.


While you might think of it as an additional cost, the benefits far outweigh the expense. A professional bookkeeper provides accurate data that helps you make better business decisions, allowing you to seize opportunities and avoid pitfalls.


With proper financial management, you can increase profitability, optimise cash flow, and reduce the risk of non-compliance with tax obligations.


This peace of mind alone is worth the cost, not to mention the potential financial gains you’ll experience through improved decision-making and efficiency.

What accounting software do you use?

We use Xero, a top-tier cloud-based accounting software trusted by businesses worldwide.


Xero offers powerful features like automatic bank reconciliation, invoicing, payroll, and real-time reporting. Its intuitive interface makes it easy for business owners to use, even if they’re not financially savvy.


Plus, Xero integrates with other business tools and apps, streamlining workflows and making data-sharing seamless.

We also have experience in just about every other cloud-based accounting software.

What makes your tax accountants good?

Unlike most firms, we don’t outsource bookkeeping, accounting, or tax work to overseas teams. We employ Australian professionals, all in-house. 

Additionally, we don't hire junior staff – every team member is a senior, degree-qualified expert with a minimum of 20 years of experience in accounting, finance, and bookkeeping.

Our team of specialists is committed to your financial success and available whenever you need us.

Why is bookkeeping important?

Bookkeeping is the foundation of good financial management. Without it, you wouldn’t have an accurate picture of your business’s financial health, making it difficult to make informed decisions.


It ensures that all your financial transactions are recorded properly, providing clear insights into your revenue, expenses, and profitability.


Additionally, accurate bookkeeping is essential for meeting tax obligations and securing business loans or investments.


With detailed records at your fingertips, you’ll be better equipped to make sound decisions that drive your business toward its goals.

Do you offer virtual services?

Yes, we work with clients across Australia virtually, making it easy to access our services from anywhere – at any time.


Whether you’re based in a city or a remote location, we can help you with your tax and accounting needs without the need for in-person meetings. 


Not only does this make our service more accessible to more business owners throughout Australia – but it also saves our clients so much time meeting from the comfort of their own home, office, car – or any other location of their choosing.

How does a bookkeeper save time?

Managing your business’s financials can be time-consuming, especially if you’re juggling multiple responsibilities.


A dedicated bookkeeper takes this burden off your shoulders, handling everything from bank reconciliations to invoicing and compliance.


This allows you to focus on running your business and doing what you do best, knowing that your financials are in expert hands.


By outsourcing these tasks to a professional, you free up valuable time that can be better spent on strategic planning, customer service, or growing your business.


Plus, with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your books are accurate, you can operate more efficiently and effectively.

What business should have a bookkeeper?

All businesses, no matter the size, industry or specific niche, can benefit from having a bookkeeper.


Whether you're a startup, a small business, or a large enterprise, managing financial records, cash flow, and compliance can become overwhelming. A bookkeeper ensures that your financial data is up-to-date and accurate, helping you make informed decisions.


They also handle BAS, payroll, and other compliance tasks, saving you from missing deadlines or making costly errors.


For many business owners, having a dedicated bookkeeper significantly reduces stress and allows them to focus on growing and running their business.

What makes financial reports so important?

Accurate financial reports are crucial for understanding where your business stands at any given moment.


They help you create budgets, forecast future earnings, and track key metrics like cash flow, profit margins, and expenses.


Without precise data, you’re essentially flying blind, which can lead to poor financial decisions.


Regular, accurate reporting allows you to see how your business is performing and adjust your strategies accordingly, ensuring you stay competitive and profitable.


With these insights, you can act quickly to make the right decisions to improve your business.

Why cloud-based accounting?

Cloud-based bookkeeping offers unparalleled convenience and flexibility.


Traditional bookkeeping methods often require face-to-face meetings, physical storage of documents, and tedious manual data entry.


With cloud-based software, all of your financial data is securely stored online, accessible from any device, at any time.


This means both you and your bookkeeper can collaborate in real time, making it easier to stay on top of your finances.


Plus, with automated features like bank feeds, invoicing, and payroll, you can significantly reduce the time spent on administrative tasks, freeing you up to focus on your core business.

How do I get started?

It’s simple! Book a strategy session with our team today, and we’ll discuss your business’s specific needs, identify tax savings opportunities, and create a clear path forward for your financial success.


Plus, when you book, you’ll also receive two free physical books on pricing and increasing profit.
