What's included in a Bookkeeping Service?

Our bookkeeping engagements are on a fixed monthly retainer. We’ve worked hard to set fair rates that scale as you grow. They reflect the work we do for you – nothing more, nothing less. All of our monthly bookkeeping packages include:

Allocating your bank transactions on a daily basis
Touching base with you once a week with an update on your accounts
Calculation and lodgement of your BAS, via the BAS Agent Portal
Monthly Management reports on your business performance
A Receipt Bank subscription.

Yes! Business is a relationship and it takes time to get to know the workings of every business we support. For that reason, we assign an accountant to your business that will work with you long term.

We also train others up in the background on your accounts - so that we can manage our team as they take leave, or deal with those things that go with being human. Our focus is on providing a reliable consistent bookkeeping service for your business.

We keep things simple. We work with you until either of us decides it's time to end (we ask for 30 days notice to give us time to complete any outstanding work)

As things change in the business, we update our agreements to align our work with what the business needs. It keeps us focused on providing you with outstanding customer service at all times, and gives us flexibility to change with you

Cash bookkeeping only looks at when money enters or leaves a bank account. Accrual bookkeeping is a more sophisticated approach that records when the money was earned or owed. Most larger companies use accrual and iKeep does accrual from day one so there’s no painful transition later.

By taking the Accrual approach, we are still able to generate Cash reports if required.

By fixing fees, we give you certainty in your cashflow. It also means our focus is always on working as effectively with you as possible, and we can get stuff done.

If things in the business change, we’ll organise a chat to review our agreement and fix it again at a fair fee.

By reviewing your accounts on Xero and having a good chat with you to understand your business goals, and how best to support you. We have experience across many different industries, and businesses from sole traders to multi-national organisations and franchise groups. We bring that experience to guide you on how it could work, and apply best practices.

Once we're clear on the scope of work, that's when we put an agreement in place that describes what we will do for you, and what we ask of you to be able to deliver that for you

We'll never ask you for your bank details.

... but don't worry, it's still an efficient process. We will provide you with a .aba file that you can upload into your internet banking to pay all your team members in one go. So whether you have one employee or 100, it will take you about 2 minutes to authorise the payment in your online banking platform.

We typically reconcile your accounts twice a week, depending on how many transactions are going in.

If you want us to do your bookkeeping more often, we can. For larger businesses with complex requirements, we’re often in the accounts daily.

Yes. Many of our clients have a national presence and are above the Payroll Tax threshhold. Completing monthly payroll tax lodgements forms a standard part of our engagement for these clients.
