Bookkeeping for Albury businesses

Albury businesses can pass us their monthly bookkeeping and carry on in the Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks file they already use. The urban area the ABS figures below describe takes in parts of New South Wales and Victoria, so instead of quoting rule figures, the employer rules section links to both states.

How we serve Albury businesses

  • Customers and suppliers in both states

    Whether a customer or supplier sits in New South Wales or Victoria, their invoices, bills and payments go into your file the same way. We reconcile each bank account to its statement and match payments to the bills and invoices they settle.

  • Builders' supplier accounts

    Construction is the largest group in the industry chart below. Building businesses get each supplier and subcontractor bill entered as it arrives, so the amount owed to each supplier is visible before payments go out.

  • Transfers kept out of income

    Money moved between your own business accounts is recorded as a transfer, not as a sale or an expense, so the profit and loss isn't inflated by your own money changing accounts.

Payroll tax and long service leave in New South Wales and Victoria

This urban area spans New South Wales and Victoria. Payroll tax and long service leave have different rules for work across state borders, so this page links both states' guidance rather than choosing figures for your business. Ask the relevant state revenue body or your accountant about payroll tax, and the relevant long service leave authority about leave coverage.

Questions from Albury business owners

Do New South Wales or Victorian payroll tax and long service leave rules apply to us?
Each state sets its own payroll tax and long service leave rules, and the urban area on this page spans New South Wales and Victoria. Payroll tax and long service leave have different rules for work across state borders; work location is not the only consideration. The employer rules section links to both states' guidance. Check payroll tax with the relevant revenue body or your accountant, and long service leave coverage with the relevant long service leave authority.
Do the figures count businesses in both states?
They do. The figures are for the ABS Significant Urban Area, a statistical area grouping an urban centre or related centres and surrounding land, and the area on this page crosses from New South Wales into Victoria. Like any Significant Urban Area, it can reach beyond the town centre.
We pay several subcontractors on each build. How are their bills handled?
Every subcontractor bill is entered against the person or company who sent it. When you pay, the payment is matched to that bill during the bank reconciliation, and the aged payables report in Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks shows who is still waiting.
Can the person who does our year-end accounts see the same records?
They can. Give your accountant their own login and they'll work from the same reconciled file we keep through the year, rather than a copy sent at the end.
How does the work start?
Tell us through the contact page which software you use and how current the books are. We look over the file, send a quote and begin once you accept it.
