Bookkeeping for Hurstville businesses

Real estate, rental and hiring services come ahead of construction across the industry chart below, which describes the ABS areas listed with its figures rather than the suburb itself, and a landlord's books need rent and outgoings kept apart for every address. All of it is posted to a Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks setup you already own, and each month you receive reconciled accounts plus a list of rent and invoices still owing.

The ABS counts businesses and people by Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), not by suburb. These SA2s take in land outside the suburb, and part of the suburb lies in other SA2s.

How we serve Hurstville businesses

  • Each property's rent and costs

    Rent received, council rates, strata levies and repair bills are coded to the property they relate to, using tracking where your software offers it, so each address shows its own income and spending.

  • Late books brought forward

    When months are missing, we begin at the earliest gap and move forward month by month, reconciling as we go until the file is current.

  • Unpaid invoices sorted by age

    A month-end list puts every unpaid invoice in order of how long it has been owing, so the oldest debts get a call before they go stale.

Questions Hurstville business owners ask

Where do this page's figures actually come from?
From the ABS, whose business and population data is published at the Statistical Area Level 2 scale rather than suburb by suburb. Every figure states which SA2s sit behind it, and the card with the figures explains how those areas relate to the suburb.
Our business holds rental properties. Can each address be kept apart?
Yes. With tracking categories or classes in your software, rent and the bills for each property are coded to that address. Where an item's treatment is a judgement call, we record it as your accountant specifies.
We run building jobs. Can the books show costs job by job?
Yes, if jobs or projects are enabled in your software. Materials and trade supplier bills are tagged with the job they were bought for, and its progress invoices carry the same tag, so a job's cost and billing can be compared at a glance.
Can you work in the software we already have?
Yes, provided the package is Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks. We log in to your existing file and do everything there, so nothing is moved or rebuilt.
How does it start?
Our contact page takes the details we need: the software you're on, a list of bank and card accounts and the point the books have reached. You'll get a quote, and work begins after you accept it.
