Bookkeeping for Parramatta businesses

Professional, scientific and technical services top the industry chart below for the ABS areas these figures describe, and many such firms bill their clients by the hour or by stage. We keep the books for Parramatta businesses inside the Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks file they already use, so what clients owe and what has been paid is clear at month end.

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 Parramatta businesses

  • Invoices followed up, not just sent

    Each month we list the invoices still unpaid by how long they have been owing, so you know who to call before a debt goes stale.

  • Every account reconciled

    Transaction accounts, business credit cards and loan accounts are each reconciled to their own statements, with anything unexplained listed for you.

  • Supplier bills checked before they are paid

    Bills are entered against the supplier's statement, so a missing or doubled bill shows up before money leaves the account.

Services for Parramatta businesses

What Parramatta business owners ask

Why do the figures name SA2s rather than the suburb itself?
The ABS publishes its business counts and population estimates for Statistical Areas Level 2, not for suburbs. Each figure names the SA2s it covers, and the note beside the headline says how they line up with the suburb.
Our practice bills by the hour. Can you work with that?
Yes. Your practice or job system stays the record of hours. We raise or record the invoices it produces, match payments to them and show what is still owing at month end.
Can we see what each client or project brings in?
Where your software supports it, income and costs are recorded against each client or project, so a report shows which work pays. The set-up follows the way your practice already organises its work.
Do we need to change software?
No. We work in Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks, inside the file you already have, so your history and settings stay put.
What do you need from us for a quote?
The software you use, the accounts it holds and how far behind the books are. Send those through the contact page and we price the work before it starts.
