Bookkeeping for Taree businesses

Agriculture, forestry and fishing sits among the top groups in the industry chart below, with construction, health care and property. Farm sales are often paid through an agent, with a sale statement listing commission and charges, and we match those statements for Taree businesses in their own Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks file.

How we serve Taree businesses

  • Sale statements matched

    When an agent pays you for stock or produce, we record the sale at its full value along with the commission and charges on the statement, so the deposit and the sale agree.

  • Duplicate entries cleared

    Where bank feed lines and hand-entered transactions overlap, we find the duplicates and remove them so the balances agree with the bank.

  • A short note each month

    After each month's reconciliation you get a short list of anything we need from you, such as a missing receipt or a deposit we can't identify.

Services for Taree businesses

Taree business owners ask

Our agent's sale statements show commission and fees. How do you record them?
The sale goes in at its full amount and each charge on the statement is recorded as a cost, so the net deposit in the bank matches the statement line for line.
We tried entering transactions ourselves and now the bank won't reconcile. What can be done?
That's often down to duplicates or entries posted to the wrong account. We go through the file month by month until it agrees with the bank.
Do you work with health and care providers?
Yes. Health care and social assistance follows construction in the industry chart on this page, and providers get the same monthly routine: accounts reconciled and payments matched to the invoices they settle.
What area are the population and business numbers for?
The ABS Significant Urban Area, built from the areas the ABS treats as urban, which can mean more than the town centre alone.
What's needed to get under way?
Share access to your Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks file and tell us how far behind it is. We look it over and quote, and start when you're ready.
