Bookkeeping for Hawkesbury businesses

For the Hawkesbury Local Government Area, the chart of industries below puts construction on top, with rental and real estate businesses following, and a landlord's ledger needs the rent received and each property's outgoings kept apart. Our work happens inside the business's current Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks account, and each month closes with the transaction, card and loan statements reconciled.

How we serve Hawkesbury businesses

  • Rent and outgoings by property

    Rent coming in and the outgoings on each property, such as council rates, repairs and insurance, are entered against the property concerned, using tracking where your software offers it.

  • Building jobs costed from the bills

    Where your software tracks jobs, supplier bills and progress invoices carry the job they relate to, so what a job has brought in and what it has used up can be read without a side spreadsheet.

  • Behind on the books? We start at the gap

    A backlog is worked from the earliest unreconciled month forward, and each month is closed before the next is opened, so balances carry through cleanly.

What Hawkesbury business owners ask

Do these figures match the region people talk about?
Not exactly. The ABS figures here, population included, all describe the Hawkesbury Local Government Area within its 2025 boundaries, and the region people have in mind when they say the name can differ from that line.
We hold rental properties alongside the business. Can they be tracked apart?
Yes. If your software can track properties separately, each gets its own tracking, with rent and outgoings recorded against it. Anything that calls for a judgement follows your accountant's instructions.
Our building jobs stretch across several months. How are they followed?
Progress invoices, supplier bills and client payments are coded by job where the software allows, so at any month end the running position of a job can be checked.
Which programs do you keep books with?
Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks. Rather than starting afresh, we pick up from the file your business is already using, with past transactions left in place.
Where do we begin?
Head to the contact page and mention your software, the transaction, card and loan accounts inside it and how far the reconciliations have slipped. You'll have a quote in hand before we begin.
