Questions from Wagga Wagga business owners

Our fuel card statement is long. Do you check every line?
We reconcile the statement total to the payment and check the lines against the card's transaction list, querying anything that doesn't belong to the business.
What does transport, postal and warehousing include?
The ABS group covers road, rail, water and air transport, postal and courier services, warehousing and storage, and the services that support them. The industry chart on this page counts them across the Significant Urban Area.
We've got months of fuel receipts in a box. Can you still work with that?
Not usually. Fuel card statements list each purchase, so the statement does most of the work, and loose receipts are matched where they help explain a charge.
Who else can see the vehicle records?
Anyone you invite into your Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks file, which is where the records sit. Your accountant can be given access to read them alongside everything else.
What does a quote depend on?
Your bank, card and fuel accounts and how current they are. We quote from that, and nothing starts until you've accepted.
